BE THE NOVA
Who this build is made for
This build is an Endgame build with Optimal gearing which benefits from Uber endgame uniques aswell as Cosmic arifacts. This build also contains optimal Cosmic and other BIS Gear which can take alot of time to get with good rolls. However there will be alternative gear given. Do NOT expect this build to be the best with alternative gear, since the gearing makes almost the whole build. Even with alternative gearing this build will still be playable in endgame Areas.
The Rotation of skills and how his Playstyle works will be Explained below for those who arent familiar with The typical rotation and playstyle of Nova.
Synergies
We go for Attributes first (Energy-Speed) and also for Area damage aswell as crit/brutal damage.
Selected Synergies are the best IMO but you can also change it a bit.
Infinity Points
If you have a limited amount of Infinity Points put them into the Power Gem for the 100+ Buff first or put them into The Reality Gem for Energy.
If you struggle with Survivalbility going into the mind stone for the Crit=Health buff is also recommended.
GEARING
Slot 1: Fragment of Twilight(recommended)-Its just a good Damage boost, if u can get your hands on it. If not run Wendell's Quantum Bands. This is just a Filler tho because nothing gets even close to the Damage you will get from Fragment of Twilight.
Slot 2: Cosmic Body Armour as shown above are BIS, Cosmic items like that are hard to hit and can take a while to find, in the meanwhile u can use Portal's Darkhawk Armor this is a solid body armour and will carry you until the BIS with ease.(same goes for the boots) another alternative would be his own unique Super-Nova Armor, Darkhawk is just the better choice here because of its Damage boost especially if you are missing fragment of Twilight.
Slot 3: His own unique Nova Centurion Standard-lssue Belt is almost essential here since it gives us 1 second more of our Signature, but it also offers some good Damage.
Slot 4: Comsic boots as shown above are BIS, you can use Batroc's Savate Boots instead, Those are solid filler boots.
Slot 5: Essence of Jinn is Insane, no other option comes close to it. If not avaible use Ol' Buckethead as a filler.
Ring: Sling Ring of the Kamar-Taj (energy) is Very Solid. If u get Double attribute Ring use that one instead.
Medallion: Doctor Doom Medallion Is a good choice here, an Alternative would be probably Skrull Medallion Of Bravery (not tested) this might also be better than Doctor Doom Medallion.
Uru: Bowazon is just the best here.
Artifacts
The Artifacts Shown above should be fine i will still give so some Good alternatives.
Edge of Infinity Provides Good base stats, for damage and crit hit rate so its of cause also a good option.
Wrist-Mounted Laser Projection Unit
Provides Extra defense Stats aswell as some crit hit chance and attributes so also a viable choice.
Both are good alternatives for
Gem of the Kursed or Sentinel Targeting Unit 
Other alternatives might be :
And any of the other common once
Rotation & Playstyle
Nova isnt really complicateted once you get the hang of him, His entire playstyle is based around Gravimetric Surge
and the passive Gravimetric Acceleration which enables the playstyle of constant pulsar spamming.
When entering Combat for the first time: Start with Nova Dash
>>> Falling Star
>>> Nova Flare
>>> Supermassive Pulsar
>>> Unstable Pulsar
>>> Magneton Pulsar ![]()
During Combat: Activate Gravimetric Surge
(make sure you have 2 charges of Unstable Pulsar or else the combo will not work proper) >>> 1x Magneton Pulsar
Repeat about 8x [Unstable Pulsar
>>> Supermassive Pulsar
] (Cooldown of Gravimetric Surge will still have about 9 seconds remaining)
During the cooldown of Gravimetric Surge: Unstable Pulsar
>>> Supermassive Pulsar
>>> Magneton Pulsar
>>> Falling Star
>>> 2x Dash Through enemy with Blast Off!
>>> Nova Flare
(if power is still not up just use Blast off once more)
Repeat from During Combat
Talents
For Talents we simply use the Standard 2-2-1-1-1 Since its just the best for Pulsar spamming. We dont really Benefit form any of the other Passives, and the last 3 are just necessary for the build to Work.
