Nova (Rework Concept) by luxebo

Snipe Master (moved from level 7): Quest: Hit an enemy hero with Snipe to permanently increase Snipe's damage by 2. Reward: Hitting 25 heroes will increase the radii of the Area of Effect in targets affected by 100% damage and 50% damage.

Advanced Cloaking: Increase your movement speed to 30% while cloaked. Regenerate mana and health by 2% per second in cloak.

Longshot: Increase the cast range of Pinning Shot by 30%. Pinning Shot also increases the range of your next basic attack by 30%.

Covert Ops: Pinning Shot slows and damages all targets in a small radius from the target designated.

Removed Tactical Espionage, as it was underwhelming as a whole.

Remote Delivery: Increase Holo Decoy's sight range by 50% and cast range by 100%.

Rapid Projection: Reduces Cooldown of Holo Decoy by 40%. (That's every 9 seconds.)

Holo Stability: Increases the duration of the Holo Decoy by 50%. (That's 15 seconds.)

One in the Chamber: After using an ability, your next basic attack in 3 seconds deals 80% more damage.

Anti-Armor Shells: Your basic attacks deal 250% more attack damage, but attack speed is proportionally slower.

Ghost Training: Tactical Retreat's cooldown is reduced by 40%.

EMP Shot: Pinning Shot removes any shields and blocks from the targeted enemy.

Snipe Master was changed as it made Nova a very greedy hero with a lack of team purpose.

Precision Strike

Advanced Decoy Techniques

(Refer to heroic abilities. Getting rid of Triple Tap, because let's face it, it's a bad talent.)

Double Tap: Pinning Shot now has 2 charges.

Psionic Efficiency: Snipe now has no mana cost and is 10% increased in range and damage.

Tactical Sprint: Nova is no longer silenced during Tactical Retreat and can auto attack during the duration.

Backsnipe: Nova deals an increased 30% on her first autoattack out of stealth.

Removed Explosion Round, as made better baseline.

Perfect Shot: Hitting an enemy hero with Snipe decreases the cooldown by 3 seconds.

Crippling Shot: Enemies hit by Pinning Shot become vulnerable, taking 25% more damage than normal for the duration of the slow.

Escape Artist: Nova automatically stealths when activating Tactical Retreat, cleansing herself of any status effects.

Psionic Blast: Cooldown: 30 seconds. Activate to deal 10% damage of the target's health and heal for that amount.

Precision Barrage: Hold 2 charges of Precision Strike.

Decoy Master: The Decoy does 60% of all damage you deal. There is no cooldown on switching between the decoy and your real self.

Rewind: Cooldown: 60 seconds. Activate to rewind all cooldowns of abilities. (Includes Holo Decoy).

Ghost Protocol: Cloaking does not reveal any shimmer on the battlefield or map. However, if you are hit by damage sources or revealed with revealing abilities, you will still be revealed.

Snipe Build: Snipe Master --> Anything --> Anti-Armor Shells --> Precision Strike --> Backsnipe/Psionic Efficiency --> Perfect Shot/Psionic Blast --> Precision Barrage/Rewind

This build's purpose is to do the maximum amount of single target damage possible, while still providing area of effect damage and laning ability. It is less safe than any other build however, and provides the least utility. Some talents can be changed for certain uses, such as EMP shot against johanna or tassadar, and Psionic Blast against Cho'gall.

Pinning Shot build: Longshot/Covert Ops --> Anything --> One in the Chamber/EMP Shot --> Advanced Decoy Strike --> Double Tap --> Crippling Shot --> Rewind

This build's purpose is to provide utility with pinning shot and constantly harass the enemy with a combo of ability and basic attacks. However, the damage is mostly baseline and sustained through multiple pinning shots. The damage can be inflicted in an area of effect.

Safe Build: Advanced Cloaking --> Anything --> Ghost Training --> Advanced Decoy Strike --> Tactical Sprint --> Escape Artist --> Decoy Master/Ghost Protocol.

This build's purpose is to play safely and defensively, allowing you to constantly safely provide a threat against the enemy no matter how bad the situation may be. However, this build lacks the damage potential that the sustained or burst build contains. The escapes can allow Nova to survive through the worst situations possible with minimal damage.
