This game doesn't really work that way. Frames don't have signature 'abilities' they have signature 'traits'. Nova has an affinity with Matter. Which...sort of makes her...god. If you believe in that sort of thing, that is. The ability to be in any place at any time, the ability to subconsciously seek out threats after consciously acknowledging them (knockdown resist), the ability to destabilize the molecular structure of organisms after rendering them supremely vulnerable...the ability to create something from nothing, then reduce something TO nothing with that very same creation. Nova is an ability intensive Frame, and the strength of those abilities are justified by logic and offset by her fragility and the way those abilities must be used. All things are Matter. All things are Nova. Some players just don't have any imagination. Or perhaps they are not evolved enough yet to be able to use A,S,W,D for movement and hit anything other than 4 without their fingers shifting out of position.... Who knows? Most people know Nova by Molecular Prime, though. An ability which looks horribly superfluous once you truly witness a properly modded Nyx's Absorb at work. Nyx can practically solo Defense missions until the last wave just using that. No shield or health mods, no moving, just pressing 4. Why do people hate Nova more? Because Absorb attracts enemies, which most players see as a means to get easy kills. Nyx just wastes the ability when this happens, which is ALWAYS. Nova just dominates. How sickening is that? "We are going to have a stick fight, but since your stick is bigger than mine and we are in the desert, you don't get to use a stick..."
