First Cast: Novaria summons an Astral Sphere at a distance and draws it toward her. She gains 80% Movement Speed (decays to 30%) and can pass through obstacles.

Upon hitting an enemy hero, it deals 260 (+95% Total Magic Power) (+ 5% target's ) Magic Damage to them and nearby heroes. The damage will increase based on the Astral Sphere's travel distance (draw + launch), up to 2.2 times the original damage.

Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Novaria counters Mages with shorter range and low mobility, such as Eudora and Odette, because these heroes can't reach Novaria while Novaria can hit them with her 2nd Skill.

Countered by

Novaria is countered by Assassins with strong targeted burst damage, such as Saber and Hayabusa, because they can easily close in on Novaria and burst her down.

Compatibility

Novaria works well with other long-range heroes like Beatrix and Layla because her Ultimate makes any target a sitting duck for her team to pick off.
