Very informative guide, lots of tips that I'm sure will increase my ability to play Nova well.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up, it surely must have taken a considerable chunk of time. Makes it much easier to pick up a hero and do well from the get go.

@CynicCorvus thanks for your answer dude.
So my question is how to get the illusions to attack, often i place them right next to the Enemy and they just do nothig or just one attack, after that they just keep running around so i think they are not as usefull as they might seem.
Yea that can be chalked up to the randomness of the Ai. I have found that the best way is (assuming you are focusing of doing max damage for the moment) is to put the decoys as close as possible to your intended target. This will give the holos more time to attack. As long as you yourself are still landing your own attacks you should still do enough damage to pull your weight. The main selling point of the holo build is the possible chaos it can cause which is also its negative.
Hope this helps and to finish just keep trying different builds until you find one that suits you the most,which may possibly not be the "best" build but suits your play style, then you should start to shine as nova
keep it up and have fun

This is a very long guide, I leave you a +1 so far.
But i wuld like to ask you a question about your "Holo Build", i recently tried out the same build, but for my selfe i did´nt get it to work as well as i hoped. How did you do this ?
In what way did it not work?
FOr some basic points I can give you is to keep in mind that the AI for the HOLO can be a bit random when choosing its targets so you need to practise in putting it in the right position to shot the target you want. If you mean by damage numbers, that may not be as high as the burst build but that is unimportant as nova's playstyle is more about burst to finish heroes off, which means assassins like Valla will often out damage you over the long run.
IF its something in particular let me know and i will try to answer
Also thanks for the +1

Great guide! I wanted to make a guide similar to this, though just never had the time.
I'd suggest this guide to any new or even current Nova players.
Nice work!
