Brawl Stars Starr Nova Guide – Attacks & Stats Per Level

Starr Nova’s primary attack, called Nova Hair, Go!, is a long-range attack where she shoots two projectiles that can pierce through enemies. These projectiles travel a good distance, and because the attack reloads quickly and has a wide area of effect, it’s usually easy to land at least one hit.

Starr Nova’s Super, ‘Nova Crystal, Transform!’, allows her to dash and briefly change into a more powerful form. Players control the distance of the dash, which also damages opponents. While transformed, Nova’s primary attack becomes a powerful, wide-reaching sword swipe that also heals her for 30% of the damage it deals. Charging the Super while in this form resets the transformation timer. However, enemies can interrupt the transformation by stunning, knocking back, or pulling Nova during the process.

Additionally, let’s take a look at Starr Nova’s stats at launch:

Brawl Stars Starr Nova Guide – Which Star Powers & Gadgets are the best?

Overall, Starr Nova has two gadgets:

  • Floaty Time – “Starr Nova deploys an anti-gravity device, allowing teammates to float inside of the area!”
  • Shining Starr of Friendship & Justice – “Starr Nova fires an energy ball that damages enemies and heals teammates. This energy ball can also be teleported to before it hits a target!”

Additionally, Starr Nova has two Star Powers:

  • Power Level: Maximum! – “Landing attacks in Sword Form increases its damage with each hit (from 5% to 30%)”
  • Mystical Starr Technique – “Starr Nova’s main attack heals teammates equal to a percentage of her damage)

Furthermore, Starr Nova can use the following gears in battle:

  • Speed
  • Vision
  • Health
  • Shield
  • Damage
  • Gadget Cooldown

Brawl Stars Starr Nova Guide – Recommended Star Power, Gadget, & Gear Setup

We suggest using Floaty Time in fast-paced modes like Heist and Brawl Ball. For modes like Bounty, Knockout, or Wipeout, Shining Starr of Friendship & Justice is a better choice. Floaty Time helps players quickly reach their goals, while Shining Starr excels at keeping teammates alive in objective-based modes, which is key to winning.

When choosing a Star Power, we recommend Mystical Starr Technique for team modes and Power Level: Maximum! for playing solo. Mystical Starr can help keep your allies alive, but it uses up ammo that could otherwise damage opponents. Power Level: Maximum! is effective, though achieving the full 30% damage boost can be challenging. Both Star Powers are viable options, but each has its drawbacks.

When building Gears, we recommend a Damage and Shield setup. While Nova isn’t fragile, the added health will be valuable when she transforms. Plus, even if her health gets low, she can still deal significant damage, which can be useful in tough situations.

Brawl Stars – Which Modes Should You Use Starr Nova In (And Which Modes You Shouldn’t)

Gem Grab

Starr Nova is a strong pick for Gem Grab thanks to her speed and powerful dash ability. She can both keep enemies at a distance with her regular attacks and quickly close in to steal gems from opponents using her Super. She’s a great choice for carrying gems, but players should be mindful of her relatively low health (7400 at Power Level 11).

Brawl Ball

Starr Nova’s special ability lets teammates float over obstacles and quickly get to enemies. She’s a great partner for Frank, who can use this to quickly attack the goal. She also works well with any brawler who likes to get up close and personal. Plus, Starr Nova is a strong character in this game mode because she’s fast and has a powerful attack style.

Solo/Duo/Trio Showdown

Starr Nova is great at quickly destroying obstacles and opponents. Her speed helps her collect power cubes rapidly. When the arena fills with poison gas at the end of a match, use her special ability to maximize her damage and finish strong.

Brawl Stars Starr Nova Guide – What Mode(s) Should I NOT Use Starr Nova In?

Hot Zone

Starr Nova struggles to effectively attack or defend the central area because her basic attack is too short-ranged. Enemies with electromagnetic zones (EMZs) can easily damage her before she reaches that area, leaving her vulnerable. Fortunately, her Super ability allows her to quickly hit all enemies within a single zone.

Overall, that wraps up our Brawl Stars Starr Nova Guide!
