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 and   Spice. 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.

Beware of enemies that have   Teeth or Smackback, as Nova will unavoidably hit those enemies and take damage from them. Becase the damage will break Nova's Block, Nova will attack again in a row and take damage again, which may kill them.

Trivia

  • Nova is the only player card that inherently has   Block.
