Talk:Nova (Warframe)/@comment-202.156.10.14-20130819064129

I don't see why everyone is so anal about Nova. She's a great team player and really helps out a lot when the enemies are high-level.

From all my experience with Novas (I use Ash as a primary Warframe), they excel best at AOE, but lack the offensive in close combat as compared to other warframes. Remember that even with Mods to increase energy efficeincy and capacity, M.Prime cannot be fired consecutively. Once M.Prime is used I see almost every Nova fall back to cover while other teammates give support, waiting for her energy to replenish. Nova when modded right certainly can hold her own, but she's not a tank type nor was designed to be one.
