Anshdrop5 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I just wanted to know who is better for endgame and damage, less squishy and who is better all rounder. Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewarette Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Both are really interesting and have their own strengths. Both are tanky (Nova thanks to her new Augment) and are well appreciated in nearly all the different missions' types. Mesa more for pure DPS purposes, Nova for Control/"Assist DPS" (damage increase and explosion on her 4) purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xardis Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Mesa is more tanky and deals more damage overall, but her cc is barely noticable. Nova can get very tanky with a proper build but wont be as tanky as Mesa. But you can build Nova as tank and for her MPrime, the build part will barely take from her cc overall, the only ability that will be impacted will be her wormhole. Nova has one of the best CC in game, damage reduction ability and a nuke in a form of AMD. Both framed are the best of the best in their own right.

Guest Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Nova is definitely a better all rounder if built well. Mesa is just a DPS monster who doesn't offer much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anshdrop5 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I want to know that who can survive lvl 100+ enemies and can destroy them easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veridian Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Mesa will have an easier time killing lvl 100+, while Nova will have an easier time surviving them. I'd go with Mesa, death is the best CC. Edited March 28, 2019 by Ver1dian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Mesa. That is all the answers for every question in the universe. At least for now. She's tanky and has an incredibly OP nuke ability that is only rivaled by Saryn's spores (and few others). Though Nova is also pretty good. Except in Vallis where a sniper can shoot you from kilometers away and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softballbryan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Much of your satisfaction from each frame will boil down to how much you enjoy each frame. I can’t argue which one is better, but I can tell you which one I’m going to choose in your scenario. Has little to do with better... I like playing one more than the other. Enjoy the game, explore, spend time with all the frames you can, then you’ll know which one you enjoy better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)drpunk-yo Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 My uneducated opinion is Nova helps keep the squad alive by slowing everything down and making enemies easier for squad to kill whereas Mesa helps keep the squad alive by killing everything on sight before the squad gets a chance.

Ham_Grenabe Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Oh my goodness, I didn't realize there was a new augment for Nova (been out of the loop for a bit). I have a MIGHTY NEED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot They have different jobs. Nova is more about control and debuffs, Mesa is pure damage output. Mesa is far tougher out of the box. She's easy to mod. She is very survivable, but only against ranged damage. She doesn't fare well in melee range, though she does have some slight control over enemies what want to get in your face. Nova can be made pretty tough, but you'll end up juggling some pretty exotic mods (you'll be leveraging Null Star) and it's going to call for some pretty radical stat swings. There's a certain synergy with the short range maximum duration gives and Neutron Star, but you basically give up using Wormhole for anything significant. Mobility vs. 90% damage reduction; your call. It's going to come down to personal preference and how you want to play. Nova is more useful to a team, but a badly played or modded Nova is a menace. Mesa just kills stuff in job lots, but is a very useful bullet magnet. Sometimes, that's all you want.

Well, nova is better in what sense though? Mesa wipes everyone with peacemaker, ok everyone benefits because the enemies all die. Nova casts MP, and everyone benefits... at killing the enemies that would already be dead from Mesa. Just saying, death is the best CC EDIT: I’m not trying to detract from nova at all, I like playing a speedva myself, I’m just trying to point out a loophole in the argument.

Sayune Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 they are just too different, Nova is kind of a mage while Mesa is a gunslinger >_<) try both non prime versions of the frames and choose the one you find the most fun since they are both endgame material.

Nova can only be as tanky as you are willing to sacrifice her other stats. Thus her 1 is weaker than Mesas - excluding melee (but that is very easily avoided) and AoE (thats also easily avoided). Mesa also has that limitation, but Mesa doesnt need that much mods to be as effective, and stats that make her effective boost her tankyness more than Nova. To top that Mesa has more base HP. Both are tanky, but making Nova tanky requires more than on Mesa. and so, with all mods, forma and arcanes you can have, I find Mesa more tanky than Nova.

000l000 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I don't even understand why you are all arguing about who's the tankiest, Nova can literally freeze the whole map, i don't even know how you can die with all enemies moving like they're escaping from a retirement home. At this point you don't need EHP, no one can kill you. Nova is definitely the most tactical (CCs, teleport, slow enemies and bosses - always useful on interceptions), Mesa has better damages but she's limited to her LoS, she can't kill what she can't see though. Apart from having a really high damage output and slightly buffing allies, Mesa doesn't bring anything to the team - If you need high damages go for Mesa, if you need utility go for Nova.

"death is best cc" is a meme, nothing else. killing stuff has 0 to do with CC in the literal sense. if u call that a loophole then we can stop arguing in this thread at all because if u want to find a loophole u will always do so but going back and forth is not what a dicussion is all about. vor 12 Minuten schrieb Xardis: Nova can only be as tanky as you are willing to sacrifice her other stats.

AMD and MP range is not an issue anyway. wormhole is arguably the only ability where negative range is an issue. its a typical max duartion build with adaptation and MP augment +2 arcanes, not too big of a drama since only 1 arcane is needed for tankyness, being guardian and thats not too big of an investment imo. nova can be more tanky EHP wise, roughly 74k vs 77k but that depends on the arcanes too. at the end of the day they both have a really hard time finding their grave so its not that big of a deal.
