Card Art

Nova is a Companion that the player can bring along on a run.

Strategy

Nova has a unique Reaction that triggers whenever any player card loses Block. 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 attack buffs, Spice, and Charms that inflict debuffs. While Nova only gets one chance to react at base, they can combo with Blunky and the Ice Dice, as well as Charms and Leaders that interact with Block. Additionally, Nova does have a Counter (albeit a very long one). The fact that it exists at all makes Nova eligible for Counter-modifying cards and Charms like the Blaze Tea, Balance Charm, and 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 Item to break a stack of Block. The Peppereaper is particularly notable for this purpose, as it breaks Block while also giving Nova Spice.

Beware of enemies that have Teeth or 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 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 Blings with attack buffs, allowing them to wipe out the enemy field in one fell swoop.

Trivia

Nova is the only player card that inherently has Block.

Nova has the second-longest base Counter among all cards, beaten only by the I.C.G.M.

Nova is tied with
Numskull and
King Moko for the greatest number of different stats on a single card, at 5: health, attack, Counter, Reaction, and Block.
- Nova is also one of only three cards with both a Counter and a Reaction, the others being Warthog and Maw Jaw.
