Specialist Nova

Dominion Ghost

This Specialist Nova feels more like the Ghost unit from Brood War.

Combat Trait

1
Permanent Cloak, Sniper
Unchanged from the original. Cloaks when out of combat, increases range and vision.

Primary Abilities

1
Snipe
A combination of Nova's old Snipe and Pinning Shot, this is a skillshot that does moderate damage and slows by 60%. Since she's a Specialist now, her skillshot is more about this intense slow than the damage.
2
EMP Shockwave
Borrowed from the Science Vessel. A circular skillshot. It eliminates all shields (except for the Core), and decreases the cooldown reduction rate of all enemy heroes it hits. A talent called Irradiate makes it do DOT to MMMs.
3
Holo Decoy
Nova can now fire Snipe from the Holo Decoy with her first talent button. It doesn't do any damage, but it still slows.

Heroic Abilities

1
Lockdown
Strait-up stuns target enemy hero for 4 seconds. 80 second cooldown.
2
Nuke
Same deal as Brood War: After a 14-second delay, drops a Nuke that deals huge damage in a wide area. If you find the little blinking red dot, you can hopefully find Nova. If you do, she probably dies. But if you don't, you lose a huge chunk of your building's health. (This coming from a specialist that ere now has lacked significant waveclear.) The sound effect and the finding-Nova minigame should make it quite distinguishable from the Warhead Junction objective. 120 second cooldown.
