Talk:Nova/@comment-162.255.57.251-20190306180258

I hit a barrier awhile back with Nova in certain high end content where I was having a lot of trouble staying alive, because even with slow enemies, eventually you're eventually going to be hit by something and Nova's fragile bones don't take that well.

The answer was a build with max duration, Vitality (not Primed Flow+Quick Thinking because stagger lock is real), and whichever of her two augment mods you prefer to keep her particle count close to 18. You'll also need some method of healing (I personally use Operator Arcanes).

Unfortunately that doesn't leave much wiggle room in the build for personality,  I use Umbral Intensify(144% is close enough to the Molecular Prime cap of 145%) and Streamline (to keep Molecular Prime's cost at least a bit lower), so then you've really just got your Aura and Exilus slots. However, the survivability sure is worth it.
