In addition, they hit ''all'' enemies at once, dealing huge total damage when the enemy field is full and allowing them to scale exceptionally well with {{Stat|attack}} buffs, {{Stat|Spice}}, and [[Charms]] that inflict [[Stats#Debuffs|debuffs]]. While Nova only gets one chance to react at base, they can combo with {{Card|Blunky}} and the {{Card|Ice Dice}}, as well as Charms and [[Leaders]] that interact with Block. Additionally, Nova ''does'' have a {{Stat|Counter}} (albeit a very long one). The fact that it exists at all makes Nova eligible for Counter-modifying cards and Charms like the {{Card|Blaze Tea}}, {{Charm|Balance Charm}}, and {{Charm|Jimbo Charm}}. With the right support, Nova can attack regularly even without reacting. | ||
While having Block around to take strong hits is obviously valuable, it's possible to manually trigger Nova's Reaction in a pinch by damaging them or an allied card with an [[Items|Item]] to break a stack of Block. The {{Card|Peppereaper}} is particularly notable for this purpose, as it breaks Block while also giving Nova Spice. | |||
Beware of enemies that have {{Stat|Teeth}} or {{Keyword|Smackback}}, as Nova will unavoidably hit those enemies and take damage from them. Because the damage will break Nova's Block, Nova will attack again in a row and take damage again, which may kill them. However, if Nova has gained several stacks of Block from sources like the {{Charm|Frozen Heart Charm}}, this can actually be beneficial and allows Nova to punish the entire enemy field due to a single enemy countering them. | |||
Nova's ability to hit all enemies makes them highly effective at securing combo {{Stat|Bling|Blings}} with attack buffs, allowing them to wipe out the enemy field in one fell swoop. | |||
