Nova, V Polarity And Continuity

[Sarmon]

I don't have Nova just yet, but I've been wondering why does Nova have two V polarity slots? One for focus which is pretty good for Nova, other for continuity which only affects one ability only when at max rank.

 

Banshee and Ash beenfit greatly from two V slots because they are both useful for their abilities, so why not Nova?

 

Antimatter drop and worm hole have infinite duration, molecular prime's duration cannot be changed and null star only get one star when having a maxed continuity. Shouldn't continuity be more significant or give more antimatter orbs along the way instead of only one at max rank?

 

I think one of the following is needed:

 

- More of Nova's abilities should be affected by continuity in some significant way.

- Continuity should give more antimatter orbs.

- The second V slot should be replaced with a dash by default.

 

One of those would be nice. A not-maxed contiunity just needs to be more useful for Nova's abilities if she is to have a second V slot.

Well you could always use Rage. At max rank, it gives 40% of lost health to energy, which is very useful and a V polarity.

Nova is a fragile/low-health warframe. I don't think that's a good idea.

Or you could just forma her ONCE because right now Nova is one of the few frames that can reach maximum potential without a single forma.

She has plenty of health. She has 300 without mods so mods can make her have a good amount. Plus, the more health lost, the more energy gained.

[RealmDestroyer]

Well Nova's suit should be atoned to her, giving her the highest effectiveness once max ranked. Y'Know, keeping with the lore of the suits being one with the Tenno.

Wormhole is timed fyi, Its very annoying that she is timed, I would like a - instead of a V buy i have fit every mod i want there without getting it to rank 30 yet, just potatoed it and got it to 20 and maxed out energy siphon, most frames i have to get to 30 and potato to get that max potential out of.

[Meenmu]

Totally agree with OP. I have no idea why the second polarized slot is a v. Could have been anything else, even blank, and I would have prefered it over a v for nova.

Either that, or there should be more v polarity mods for warframes: ones that might actually be useful to frames with useless extra v slots.

[Shion963]

AFAIK Wormhole has a duration since it disappears if left alone for long enough. And equipping both Continuity and Constitution (don't know if both needs to be maxed) would add three additional Null Stars. But since Constitution is a dash, it pretty much restricts it for Continuity.

 

I personally don't have anything in the second V slot because I haven't finished levelling her to max yet. I'll stick to Focus, Streamline, Flow, Stretch, and Redirection for now. Rage is out of the question since  I don't have one.

[philleapa]

I understand the uselessness of the V slot for most players but there are people who do take health damage on purpose for energy (use rage mod) not everyone has it is rare in the void. anyways its not like they have changed a mod slot in the past for a warframe, they made forma for a reason.

[Lampshade]

Nova is a fragile/low-health warframe. I don't think that's a good idea.

or its a fantastic idea due to how often her shields are down and you get hit

[Namacyst]

Even the Nova sneek peek suggests to equip continuity because "it buffs her abilities" .. meaning ONE. So funny :D

[Romalic]

for a frame that doesn't have a way to heal or negate a large part of the incoming damage, rage is not a very wise choice, you cant heal the damage taken, its perfect for trinity for that very reason but for nova? it would be a crapshoot if you lived on higher levels 

 

yes, I have tried it when I got the mod from void, its an accident waiting to happen, energy is no use if your on floor, the only way I can see to make it manageable is to max out your armour to slow the health loss down, but that's another mod slot you have to use

It affects null star and wormhole Antimatter Drop and Molecular Prime both have unlimited time, What they need to do is fix her darn neck its too huge and they also need to fix Antimatter Drop as it goes in circles now and if you're not in zoom it goes much faster doesn't even give you time to shoot it, and i am see thing shots from my fully modded rank 30 snipetron vandal aren't really doing anything when i easily do 4k damage (with second bullet added from split chamber)

[Wynn]

I don't know if I would forma that V away, like other have said you can max out her damage with out it already.

They going to keep adding mods and it's a matter of time before they add a V mod that fits her better.

[CeePee]

I'm using Rage on the second V polarity, but I agree it's kind of a waste. That's what Forma is for.

>Taking damage on a Nova to use Rage

 

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over all the exploding levels full of enemies that never get within shooting distance of me.

Continuity affects Null Star in that the higher rank of Continuity, the more Null Stars are spawned upon use. So far, you can have 9 Stars, maybe up to 10 with max'd out Continuity. Molecular Prime is also buffed by Continuity by making the Prime last longer on mobs, which isn't a bad thing at all.

[Wynn]

Holy frak I didn't know that.
