Nova is a lightning ring spell that was not available in [[spellbook]] form, but in only [[scroll]]s and [[stave]]s. Sometimes, a trapped treasure chest could attack a spell of Nova on you as soon as you opened it. Depending on your armor and resistances, you could get very injured, or just a little shock. The only way to avoid the dangerous Nova chest traps was if you were a [[Rogue]], and saw that it was trapped. Therefore, you could cast [[Telekinesis]] from a good distance and more easily avoid the lightning ring.

Nova is a Sorceress Skill in Diablo II.

Lore

With this attack the Sorceress creates a wave of electrical energy radiating from her fingertips, bathing all nearby enemies with its destructive force. This spell is ideal for defeating melee opponents who swarm too closely.

General Information

Synergies

  • Gives synergy to :
Lightning: +8% Lightning damage per level
Chain Lightning: +4% Lightning damage per level
  • Receives synergy from : None

Although its minimum damage is far higher than many Lightning Spells, Nova has limited potential due to its lack of synergies. Nova is also inhibited by its very high mana cost, which in many cases prevents it from being cast many times in quick succession. It would take quite a bit of time into the game, as well as good mana regeneration and leeching for Nova to be an effective, mana cost efficient ability.

Still, Nova can be valuable as a crowd control spell in the early game, and can easily deal with legions of swarming enemies, or quick hard-to-hit opponents.
