Nova uses electromagnetic energy to contain and control highly volatile antimatter that fuels her abilities.

This is Nova, wildly unpredictable.

Nova's presence on the battlefield is complex and deadly. Handle with care, Tenno.

—Lotus

Release Date: July 13th, 2013

Nova is an antimatter themed Warframe who is somewhat fragile with low shield capacity, fair health and lacks in defensive abilities. In return, she features extremely powerful offensive abilities capable of demolishing entire waves of enemies. Nova materialized in Update 9.0 (2013-07-13).

Trivia

This section is transcluded from Nova/Main § Trivia. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

• Both the name and the abilities of this Warframe were chosen by submissions of Design Council being filtered by Digital Extremes then voting by the Design Council community.
• Nova is one of the fastest Warframes, with a base sprint speed third to  Gauss, second to  Loki, and tied with  Ash Prime,  Mirage, and  Wisp.
• The term nova refers to the violent outbursts of energy that occur in cataclysmic variable stars. These variables are actually binary stars that consist of a tidally-distorted companion that accretes stellar material onto the surface of a white dwarf. In this accretion disk, the infalling matter is highly compressed on the white dwarf's surface due to its immense gravity. This process increases the pressure and temperature of the collected matter tremendously: enough to burn hydrogen. As this matter contains mostly hydrogen, runaway fusion reactions occur on the white dwarf's surface, producing an extremely bright thermonuclear outburst.
• According to Nova's original profile, this Warframe was a result of Tenno High Council research. This is widely believed to be a nod to the Design Council that aided in Nova's creation.
• Nova is the last Warframe with a helmet that grants statistical changes (The Nova Flux Helmet), as all helmets released from  Nekros onward have since been entirely cosmetic.
• Currently one of four frames that has three alternate helmets, the others being  Loki,  Excalibur, and  Vauban.
• In her Leverian entry Nova is described to have created a chain of linked portals in vents she didn't actually go through herself, as if she was able to place portals behind walls and facing the correct direction. It's unknown if this is just a dramatization or mistake on the Leverian's part for misinterpreting these ancient Warframe stories, or a capability Nova is supposed to be able to do lore wise.

Trivia

• Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe after  Nyx Prime to have two enhanced stats, in this case increased Shields and Energy over her normal version.
  • She is also the second prime Warframe with a boost to shields, the first being  Frost Prime.
• Nova Prime marks the first time that an Open Beta Warframe –  Nova – has received a prime variant. The previous seven prime Warframes ( Excalibur,  Frost,  Mag,  Ember,  Rhino,  Loki,  Nyx) are based on designs from the Closed Beta period.
• Unlike previous prime Warframes, Nova Prime's gold parts can be recolored, which was made possible with the new Physical Based Rendering (PBR) techniques utilized in updates of the graphics engine first introduced at the time of her release. The  Soma Prime,  Vasto Prime and the Pyra Syandana Prime that came with Update 15.7 (2014-12-17) share the same feature.
• Nova Prime's  Null Star and  Antimatter Drop both feature opaque gold spheres instead of the translucent spheres of the regular version.
• Nova Prime's long ring neck design resembles the neck rings from the Kayan Tribe in Burma.
• Nova Prime is the second prime Warframe to have a non-static model, the first being  Rhino Prime, as her helmet and back have casings that open with advanced movement, channeling, and activation of abilities, causing her energy coils to glow more intensely.

Bugs

• Her moving parts will often become reversed, staying open even when the player is standing still with no powers currently active, and zooming in with a weapon will close them, with them re-opening when exiting zoom. The only way to fix this issue (although it will continue to happen) is to use a power.

Augment

Main article: Neutron Star

Neutron Star is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Nova's  Null Star that allows it to inflict  Heat damage with guaranteed status effect in a radius and recasting the ability will disperse currently active particles to seek out enemies before being replenished. Neutron Star's seek radius is doubled than that of Null Star's.

Rank	Heat Damage	Radius	Cost

			Duration:N/A
			Range:N/A
			Misc: 8x (absorb multiplier) 6 m (explosion range)

• Info
• Augment

Info

• Nova creates a volatile orb of antimatter which is steered with the aiming reticle. This particle absorbs all damage (friendly and hostile) when shot at, and once the particle makes contact with a solid object it will detonate and inflict 140 base damage + 800% of all absorbed damage as  Radiation damage with an explosion radius of 6 meters. When the particle comes into contact with an enemy, 10  Radiation damage is inflicted prior to detonation.
  • The particle does not absorb damage from other Antimatter Drop explosions.
• The particle is guided via the HUD's targeting reticle, steering itself towards any object the reticle is placed on including environmental obstacles and enemies.
• Looking directly at the particle will slow it down significantly.
• Multiple particles can be active simultaneously.
• The particle seems to have unlimited duration until it comes into contact with a solid object. However, multiple instances of particles at the same time will cause randomly timed explosions until there is only one left.
• One particle can store up to 1,000 absorbed damage.
  • After absorbing the maximum amount of damage the particle will speed up rather significantly.
• The coloring of the particle changes towards the caster's energy color as it absorbs damage.
• Nova's visuals will appear gold when cast by  Nova Prime.
• This ability is a one-handed action; as such, it will not interrupt full actions such as reloading, charging, or shooting.

Augment

Main article: Antimatter Absorb

Antimatter Absorb is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Nova's  Antimatter Drop that allows it to absorb incoming enemy gunfire, adding to its total damage potential.

• Creating another wormhole when the maximum number of active wormholes has been reached will cause the oldest wormhole to collapse.
• Allies and enemies can travel through wormholes.
  • Wormhole's entrance created directly over an ally or an enemy will make him/her travel instantly as if he/she has crossed it.
  • However doing so on a player channeling an ability such as Mesa's Peacemaker will not make him/her move.
• Weapon projectiles are not blocked or redirected by wormholes.
• This ability is a one-handed action; as such, it will not interrupt full actions such as reloading, charging, or shooting.

Augment
