Season	1: Heroes of Aerois

Nova V'Ger is one of the Champions of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. She was obtained from the Dragondown event, but is now only available through Time Gates or from purchasing a Nova Champion Pack from the in-game shop.

Nova is a Tank and Support Champion who understands that knowledge is power. She buffs her most intelligent allies for each monster killed, protecting herself with her Hexblade, Tiangong.

Once unlocked, you can swap this Event Champion with Jamilah in slot 11.

Backstory

“

Nova V'ger has a voracious appetite for knowledge; she needs to know anything and everything about anything and everything. Her magic powers have been gifted to her by a mysterious entity called Tiangong. She dreams of traveling to the stars and discovering the location of the true genasi homeworld.

„

Abilities

Dissect — Basic Attack

Nova leaps out and slices through and slows the nearest enemy with Tiangong.

Curiosity – Level 10 Ability

Nova is intrinsically curious about the creatures inhabiting the world. She inspects enemies as soon as they spawn, increasing their damage taken by 100%. This increases by 10% (additively) every second they are alive, to a cap of 1000% (90 seconds). This ability is increased by 200% if Nova is in the front-most column of the formation.

The Crew – Level 40 Ability

Nova increases the damage of Champions within two slots by 0.1% for each Champion level on the affected Champions, stacking multiplicatively. Each Champion’s contribution caps at 1,000 levels after their last available upgrade.

Protective Field – Level 60 Ability

Nova increases the max health of all other Champions by 25% of her base max health.

Aerois Synergy – Level 100 Ability

Nova contributes one stack to Aerois Synergy every time an enemy is stunned, rooted, or slowed. Their maximum number of stacks is 200 plus the highest area completed in the current run divided by 5 (rounded down). 50% of her contributed stacks are removed when changing areas. The Crew is increased by 20% times the total number of Aerois Synergy stacks.

Slow – Level 150 Ability

Nova's attacks slow the movement of enemies she damages by 50% for 5 seconds. Enemies that are Slowed by this ability deal half damage to Nova. This effect does not stack if it is applied again before it expires, but the cooldown is refreshed.

Activate Tiangong – Level 200 Ultimate Attack

Nova levitates up in the air as Tiangong floats in front of the formation, releasing three waves of blue energy that deal damage to all enemies. The damage is increased by 1% times the total number of Aerois Synergy stacks.

Failsafe – Level 250 Ability

When Nova becomes Overwhelmed, Tiangong creates a protective barrier around her and all other Champions in her column, granting them each 250% of Nova’s max health as temporary HP. The effect of The Crew is increased by 400% for each Champion’s shield that remains in place (stacking multiplicatively). Nova is stunned until the shield is broken or she is no longer overwhelmed. This can only trigger once per area. Changing areas resets it so it can happen again, but also resets the damage bonus and un-stuns Nova.

Specializations Choice – Level 300

New Recruits

The Crew now applies to all Champions within 3 slots, but the extra Champions are only counted towards its levels total at 50% effectiveness.

Tight Knit

Increase the effect of The Crew by 100%.
