For all of you out there who seek guidance on how to play nova. Be assured you have come to the right place. I rarely, very rarely brag about being good but with this hero i can say this with out shying away.

 

Now lets get started!

 

Talents: DMG, weapon speed, hp, armour, spell resist, speed.

 

Items: fairly known for my crazy cool item builds, such as the warpshard lockbox V wall cow inhouse build of mine, haha, but i intend to share with you my alternative build for malcos who want to become the BEST.

 

i like to go: hunters hatchet>machete>culling>stun knife>ocelots>lethal>bhm>pulsehammer>contam shard>FOE>timesplitter>BHM>Pyre>situational.

 

Skill build:q,e,q,e,e,r,e,q,q,w,r,stats,stats,stats,stats,w,r,w,w

 

Stats are underrated.

 

Well that seems to round it up for Nova, give it a try, give me your feedback, and i am sure you will find that this is the best you will get, as you know it has come from me.

What part of the item build is original, or non-standard? Almost every average joe goes a similar build, perhaps a few don't think of getting a hatchet, and get ocelots later than Lethal Barb, but other than that.....

 

Talents are alright, though I usually opt for more starting mana (allows more liberal Q spam, which is never a bad thing) and demi-god for more harass.

 

Skill build I disagree with, at least one point in W before level 4 is IMO a must, and E does not need to be maxed out so quickly, you won't need the full run duration for offense/ganking reasons as E-R works roughly the same (and E will be removed before its due time unless you are running in to ult from REALLY far). Defensively, why would you need to be so far from tower, you have longest range in the game, level 1 E gets you from creepwave to tower with ease.

I agree with doom on her 'e' and the talent build, though I go more jungle oriented 3-1-2 in dmg, atk speed and leech with fitness swiftness and youth. Skill wise I like having max w as I get lethal barb and lvl 2-3 isn't as big a jump as his w imo. Unless youre dealing with heroes who get lots of armor, getting hatchet-machete-barb is enough to right click most heroes. Afterwards i complete khali then stun knife and after those it's straight defensive like organic and dst.

Let me just say...

What a great guide. It feels like you have combined Saymyname's ability to post weird as English posts as well as Moo's knowledge of the game into one post.

 

One thing. Wrong item and skills build. Other than that it's fine.

So mean, :'(. I actually happen to disagree with the item build. The build I think is the best now is: machette (hatchet if jungling), stun knife, pulse hammer, shinobi, then it is situational, but the items I normally consider are phantom menace, explosive retrofit, Sliptide scythe, hand of mengsk, and contam shard normally rounds out my build, with agi and str potions whenever I have extra minerals for them in base. Lethal barb is viable IMO, but if you are going to get it you should rush it right after machette, then get pulse hammer and a str potion to survive.

If you are somewhat decent of farming efficient go farmheavy glasscannon:

This requires that you don't run in first in a teamfight like a moron, nova is op with the highest range in the game from an aa carry in conjuction with the ability to run across half the map quicker than grunty with a speedcreep. Basically just sit in the back and wait for some spells to go down in a teamfight.

 

hunters--> machette-->culling--> lethal--> cont shard--->axe-->stun knife-->khali/pyre/shadowmourne/timesplitter.

 

I don't see any reason to waste money on half the other items that's been mentioned in this topic.
