If you know another to be added comment below the word and meaning!

This is Nova's passive, this will automatically cloak you when out of combat for 2 seconds. Minion attacks, dots, channeling, attacking and so on; will prevent Nova from re cloaking.

This is Nova's bread and butter. Most of your front loaded damage and poke will come from your Snipe and or Q.

This is Nova's escape. As silly as it sounds this is pretty much your only escape that you have to try to escape. This also does a decent amount of damage.

This is Nova's damage, escape, trickster tool thing. This in short is the skill nova has for about every useful possible, got a fleeing enemy out of range of your snipe? Holo Decoy snipe. Need to scout ahead? Holo Decoy. Need to escape? Holo Decoy as you run into a bush to trick your enemy. This list goes on.

This is Nova's highest single target damage skill, this is the best choice when it comes to the requirement of removing one specific target quickly and decisively. However in coordinated play with coordinated teams this can be easily shut down.

This is Nova's aoe damage monster thing, basically this is the recommended option for Nova most of the time, for the simple flexibility of the skill. Use it to prevent captures on Black Heart's Bay and Cursed Hollow for example. Use it to take out fleeing enemies, or to turn the tide of a team fight.
