Nova deals magic damage over the target area and reduces enemies' attack damage. Allies can activate the ​ Supernova synergy to deal additional damage and stun enemies within range. Solar Prison changes the Synergy to ​ Gravity Crush, which increases the damage and stun duration. Or Solar Disturbance will reduce the movement speed of all enemies in the affected area.

• Solar Disturbance is a recommended morph for the Templar Initiate build, while Solar Prison is recommended for Bastion of Light and Beacon of Hope.

Patch NotesEdit

• Fixed several issues where some area of effect abilities weren't prioritizing targets that were far away from the caster, instead of targets closest to the caster.
  • The bonus damage done will apply to the 6 targets closest to the center of the sun for placed area of effect abilities, such as Nova.
• Decreased cost of this ability and its Morphs to 250 Ultimate from 300 Ultimate.
