Stay with Doom and play whatever anchor you like. Plasma Beam is probably Nova’s best assist. Nova’s biggest problem is he can get zoned out in certain matchups. With Plasma Beam he has superior control of the neutral.
Sure, your Doom is terrible NOW, but give it a few months and with the right amount of training and experience you’ll have a good Doom. He’s fairly easy in comparison to other characters. As far as an anchor goes, I’d recommend Strider, Dante, Ammy, or Vergil.
Nova Frank Doom is cool…Apologyman’s team but better lol
Nova Iron Man Doom (assists would be Repulsor/Beam or Beam/Missiles) could work too…Iron Man DHC is OD
I play Nova Task so I’d be an advocate for Team DragonGod (Nova Task Doom)
To be honest, the best options IMO are any combinations of:
Task/Doom/IronMan for 1st assist (horizontal projectiles) and Doom/Sentinel/Ammy/Frank for lockdown
I think I can safely say any of the first 3 work with one of the lockdown assists (of course you can’t have 2 Dooms but you know what I mean)
In other news though…
Nova Taskmaster Magneto…I know I’m not suppose to…but GODDAMN this shit is so fun lmaoo…Disrupter is like “SHUT UP BITCH” assist XD…Task w/ that assist is pretty cool too…one of the best Taskmaster teams is Task Dante Magneto…I love sniping with disrupter XD…but yeah…doubt I’ll be playing too much with it.
What about something like Nova/Mags(disruptor)/Sentinel? You’d
have a quick horizontal projectile assist to deal with keep-away and get momentum on your side (put grav pulse H on screen and/or chuck energy javelins), which would then hopefully enable drones assists calls so you can go in and go for mix-ups. If Nova dies, you get the proven Mags/Sent shell.
Yup! Even though I kind of still feel like Nova Magneto is redundant, I regret putting it down…Exactly what you said can work…I been doing it with Nova Task Magneto XD…read the post right above you =D
so…I think I can get used to this lmaooo
The hell? I just started trying Nova/Vergil/Hawkeye… great minds, I guess. Combo downloaded!
lmaooo…errone got the Vergil fever XD…I’m just learning him because I plan on trying to make my x-23 team better and that’s gunna mean needing a strong DHC so I’m gunna learn x23 Vergil Taskmaster and from there I’m going to have Spencer Vergil Taskmaster. Then I plan on learning like 2 or 3 more assist characters…long story short, I’m tryna be like Yipes lol.
But in all seriousness, Nova Vergil is CHEAP in terms of damage…waayy worse than Nova Spencer. If you throw in a few extra hits to basically all of Nova’s BnB’s, you’re guaranteed to build a meter and at the beginning of a round that means someone is dead. Oh and sword loops are free.
Haha, it’s not so much about the TOD for me (though I guess it’s pretty nice to have that), I just want a shell behind Nova that isn’t going to die to Dorm/Hawkeye/Strange/other zoning if Nova dies. Doom/Ammy just gets busted up too easily in some matchups. I feel weird without hard tag throw combos, but I refuse to run Nova/Vergil/Doom.
hey guys I’m wondering what is the most optimal order for nova/spencer/doom and what assists. Currently I run that team with Doom beam because it helps both of them out and covers horizontally. Not sure if I should switch it up to have spencer anchor or if I should run this team with missiles because the more damaging combos involves it.
Youre playing it perfect. Nova, Spencer, beam…youtube Insaynne…he plays that team and he plays it very well…everything you will ever need can be found watching him.
I would go for
Nova/doom/Spencer
doom is much better on incoming. but Spencer lacks a strong assist
Doom 2nd also preserves your order better when you go for hard tag combos. Insaynne’s biggest problem is that he’ll tag in Doom and then DHC into Spencer, leaving him with a really wonky order, forcing him to actually hard tag twice sometimes to fix it. You generally don’t have to worry about that with Doom 2nd. Even if you DHC all the way after the hard tag combo (Doom -> Nova -> Spencer), all you have to do is switch Spencer for Nova and you have your old order back.
Also here’s something dumb.
I don’t think any of that is a good enough reason to put your worst assist in the anchor slot though. You’re making it so only your point has a neutral assist.
That video reminds me of what I been doing with my current team…hardtag to Task, and then TAC back to Nova XD.
Back to this Nova Doom thing though…I can’t really talk down on the assist order thing because I play Nova TASK Spencer and when Nova dies I either hardtag or DHC Spencer in so he can have the assist but that’s because Nova Task has better DHC’s because I can DHC from literally any situation…Nova Doom on the other hand…the DHC’s SUCK…Nova Spencer isn’t MUCH better but it’s still better than Nova Doom…w/ Nova Doom, you will be struggling to kill…Nova Spencer on the other hand…gets in the high millions…free…EVERY time. I COULD argue just do what I do (get the assist in the back after Nova dies) but tbh this team doeant get anything outside of TAC infinites having Doom 2nd.
It’s a tradeoff. Either no assist for Spencer or no tac infinite. Either way you’re stuck with a bad anchor
You can still TAC infinite though, just use up the Spencer assist.
Most of the time, Insaynne uses the hard tag combo from what I saw
Nova Doom DHC or Nova Spencer DHC doesn’t matter
Doom to Nova is a decent DHC
I meant in terms of either order. You’re either having Spencer second which denies nova tacs for doon, or doom is second giving nova infinites but Spencer is Left all alone in the back. Still do get infinites as an option for Spencer though if Doom is in the back though if that’s what you were getting at
No i mean you can still get the TAC infinite from Nova to Doom in the order Nova/Spencer/Doom by using the Spencer assist and then TACing soon after to force Doom to come out.
Is there any synergy with Nova and Super-Skrull’s Tenderizer assist? I usually see people run Stone Smite instead.
