Info
- Nova unleashes a radial wave of antimatter particles. The wave starts 5 meters from Nova and propagates at a speed of 5 meters per second for 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 seconds before dissipating. All enemies in range are coated in antimatter that destabilizes their molecular structure for 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 seconds.
- Wave expansion duration and prime duration are affected by Ability Duration.
- Wave's initial range is not affected by Ability Range.
- Enemies within the wave's initial range are instantly primed.
- The wave has an effective radius of 15 / 20 / 25 / 35 meters.
- Primed enemies move and attack 10% / 20% / 25% / 30% slower and detonate upon death dealing 150 / 300 / 500 / 800 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage to enemies within 6 / 7 / 8 / 10 meters. All sources of damage will be multiplied by 200% against primed enemies.
- Speed debuff and explosion damage are affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage multiplier is not affected by Ability Strength
- The value of the speed debuff is determined by adding Ability Strength's bonus directly to the speed debuff's base value (e.g., with +30% Ability Strength, the speed debuff will be 0.3 + 0.3 = 60% at max rank). The speed debuff cannot exceed 75% under any circumstances.
- Ability Strength less than -10% / -20% / -25% / -30% will yield a negative speed debuff that increases an enemy's speed (e.g., -60% Ability Strength will produce a 0.3 - 0.6 = -30% speed debuff at max rank, which implies the enemy will move and attack 30% faster).
- Damage multiplier does not affect shields. The primed enemy will take increased damage when its shields have been removed.
- Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage is effective against Machinery and Fossilized, but less effective against Ferrite Armor and Infested Sinew.
- Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. status effect forces all enemies within a 5 meter radius to stumble and fall.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Each explosion can cause the subsequent death and detonation of nearby enemies, resulting in a chain reaction.
- Molecular Prime does not stack from multiple Novas in a cell. Primed enemies cannot be reprimed until their current buff or debuff wears off.
- Recasting Molecular Prime resets the spread of previous casts.
- Nova is not invincible while casting, but she can resist knockdowns.
- Can be cast in the air.
Augment
- Main article: Molecular Fission
Molecular Fission is a Warframe Augment Mod for Nova's Molecular Prime that makes primed enemies restore Null Star charges when killed.
Rank | Chance to restore additional charge | Cost |
---|---|---|
0 | 25% | 6 |
1 | 50% | 7 |
2 | 75% | 8 |
3 | 100% | 9 |
Tips & Tricks
- Molecular Prime works incredibly well in conjunction with Antimatter Drop, weakening a boss, or killing entire legions of enemies by triggering an explosion. A maxed Stretch is highly recommended with this ability.
- It should be noted that the slow effect for Molecular Prime stacks with other abilities that slow. When used alongside Frost's Snow Globe, or other effects such as Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. elemental mods, this ability is also capable of bringing enemies and bosses to a grinding halt, dramatically slowing them and easing the capability of landing headshots for the whole team.
- Synergizes well with Nyx's Chaos as units will attack each other dealing double damage, weakening every individual until someone dies and causes a series of chain explosions that can kill the entire group.
- Synergizes well with Saryn's Spores Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc by first spreading and weakening every individual armored unit, then causing a series of chain explosions when a single one dies.
- Synergizes well with Loki's Irradiating Disarm AoE disarm and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc as units will attack each other dealing double damage, weakening every individual until someone dies and causes a series of chain explosions that can kill the entire group.
- Primed enemies' bodies visibly dissolve after death by detonation, but they are actually hidden and not yet removed, thus allowing Nekros to cast Desecrate.
