Novaria – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Novaria is countered by Assassins with strong targeted burst damage, such as Saber and Hayabusa, because they can easily close in on Novaria and burst her down.
Strong against
Novaria counters Mages with shorter range and low mobility, such as Eudora and Odette, because these heroes can't reach Novaria while Novaria can hit them with her 2nd Skill.

Upon hitting an enemy hero, it deals 260 (+95% Total Magic Power) (+ 5% target's HP) Magic Damage to them and nearby heroes. The damage will increase based on the Astral Sphere's travel distance (draw + launch), up to 2.2 times the original damage.
Astral Echo
