Talk:Nova (Warframe)/@comment-101.161.146.6-20130723120355

lol people complaining about killsteals...SHUT UP AND TAKE THE EXP DAMMIT

But seriously, all this talk of Nova being OP when she's fine as it is.

Firstly, she's a GLASS CANNON (or nuke lol). Getting the most out of MP requires you to be in the middle of mobs which where you will be taking bullets/claws/lasers all day long. Take an ancient to the face and in a hectic mission you'll go down. Hell, take a disruptor to the face an you can kiss your precious MP goodbye.

That brings me on to my next point: her other skills aren't overly powerful. Null will 1-shot everything in low missions but the lack of damage scaling makes it next to useless later on. Anti-matter is awkward to use. Trying to aim it can quickly leave you vunerable and you need to be shooting at it to get max damage. Wormhole is fun to use but doesn't add much to her offense. It could be used as an escape mechanism however.

MP requires a number of things before it truly shines: A large, relatively tightly packed mob of enemies, maxed level +stretch and finally a powerful weapon that can preferably one-shot enemies. Looking at the comments it looks like most people play 100% defense missions and forget about the other dozen or so missions. On defense missions YES she is a god; but on regular missions you could find much better frames. There are less mobs and larger rooms so you begin to see MP's effectiveness begin to fade. As I mentioned before, Nova is quite the glass-cannon making solo runs ever more difficult. Since her damage output is mostly her base 100 energy ult, regular use will quickly eat up your energy forcing you to rely on your below-average shields and health and your weapons.

Weapons. Low damage weapons, especially on high leveled missions greatly reduce the effectiveness of MP as mobs can disperse or even destroy the cryopod (since everyone here only plays defense) in the time it takes to kill 1 enemy.

Every frame was designed to be EXTREMELY good a certain things. E.g. Rhino is a tanking god, Ember slays Infested in an instant. Nova is a Glass Cannon AOE-Nuker specialisng in Defense missions. Comparing Nova to other frames as you people have now and calling her OP is like comparing her to Rhino based on their ability to tank. OF COURSE SHE WILL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH OTHER FRAMES IN THIS AREA.

If we MUST nerf her, the range of her ult would be the most logical as that's the main killer right now. Other than that she is fine as it is.
