) lets her teleport far distances, which is good for open world maps (Plains of Eidolons and Fortuna) and her 4th ability (
) makes Nova a very good option for defensive missions like interception/excavation and defense or for crowd control.

Usage
Mainly used for interception and excavation to slow enemies down with Nova's 4th ability
which casts a big gradually growing bubble. The bubble will keep growing until the ability's duration runs out. The Stretch mod is there to make the bubble start out bigger than usual.
Variation
Can change out Flow with range/duration mods. More strength is not needed as you can't make enemies slower than 145%. The arcanes are completely optional.
Simple build and nothing wrong. Although it is not the purpose of this build, it could be mentioned that although speed reduction is capped at 145% the damage bonus isn't meaning higher Strength would still be a benefit.
