The general consensus is to avoid it as much as you can lol. Mag Nova is cool…Nova Mag isn’t very ideal but it can work if someone wants to be stubborn. The problem is Magneto likes to be able to switch between Plasma Beam and Missiles for Doom’s assist but Nova NEEDS Plasma Beam.
Sorry for the belated response, but if you are willing to commit to a raw Human Rocket Punch h., you might be able to raw tag into Strange after calling Bolts on a grounded opponent. Human Rocket Punch causes a crumple, then you do energy javelin and then raw tag to Strange into Flames of the Faltine loop. I’ve not tried this since I don’t play Strange, but I tried making a raw tag combo with Nova/Frank/Vergil (where I tagged into Frank after calling Shopping Cart) to see if I could get Frank to Level 4. I succeeded, but it only works in the corner.
cr.m + Shopping cart, st.h xx Human Rocket Punch h., energy javelin, raw tag to Frank, st l., st.m, cr.m, st.s, j.m, j.m, j.h, Air Tools of Survival M., j.s, Rapid Slash, Snapshot, st.s, j.s, Knee Drop (whiff), Snapshot. Meterless combo that gets Frank to level 4. You can start with (instant overhead j.l, cr.l, cr.m) if you wanted to.
Edit: Then I saw this. This looks much cooler.
The DHC synergy and damage are good and both characters work with certain assists (Drones and Bolts are the ones that come off the top of my head). The problem is that Magneto and Nova don’t do much for each other.
As for Mags/Nova/Doom, you basically have to play Mags/Nova/Beam. You can’t take advantage of Hidden Missiles with Nova as well as you can with Magneto because the latter’s mobility is better and his zoning tools are better suited to work with missiles. Magneto works well with both assists but you have to rushdown more with Beam (which I personally don’t like to do with Magneto, but to each his own).
I like both characters too, but unless you really love rushdown, there’s not much point playing them together.
Edit: You should watch some matches of Pdice just to get an idea of how Mags and Nova work. He runs Magneto/Nova/Sentinel.
Alright that sounds a lot like me haha. I just dont like having a character that cant get away from mixups on incoming. Its really just a matter of preference for me because I just really like how both Nova and Magneto play in this game
Hey everyone. Messing with some stuff in the lab and I think anyone that is willing to do so should consider trying out Nova Iron Man. Repulsor Blast is a pretty cool assist. Extends combos but the more interesting thing I found with it is the meaty set ups you can do. Stuff like ending a combo with j.S, dash back call Iron Man and they HAVE to respect it and block no matter which way they tech. Idk…I just feel like Nova Iron Man could be messed with a little (aside from Jeopardy of course)…only problem is the assist options for a Nova Iron Man shell more than likely is super limited to like Doom or Sentinel.
I like Ironman with Nova. Like I mentioned before, I actually think Nova/Spencer/Ironman is likely the best team with the Duo. Using Unibeam though.
I actually think I do recall you saying that. sigh…If only Tony wasnt…Tony.
SO I dropped Firebrand, and I still have a really strong shell of vergil/ammy. I messed around with nova all night and discovered nova/vergil is crazy damaging. So glad I dropped firebrand. R.I.P firebrand HELLO NOVA. 
Welcome to the Nova Corps son
Thanks it’s fucking nice to have a tod that isn’t impossible to do. I love this team. Even though I don’t have beam assist, I think this team is solid. Nova/vergil/doom would be better, but ammy is my best character. I also love her dearly lol.
TBH, you’re gunna end up having to drop Ammy or Vergil in the long run. OR, just make 2 teams…Nova Vergil Dom and Nova Doom Ammy
I understand But I dislike doom so much. I hate him with all of my heart.
Doom is the only true villain in this game, because everyone actually hates him. Of course, everyone has bad taste, but at least he’s doing his job right!
Doom is reeeeeeeeally good for Nova though. Nova with Doom is a tier higher than just regular Nova. Being able to hard tag off of air throws and any un-assisted standing hit w/Cold Star is ridiculously useful. TAC’s and the beam are obviously awesome too. He’s the whole package for Nova.
Either way I’d replace one of those characters for a beam or arrows. Some ideas…
For the Nova/Vergil shell:
Taskmaster (Taekua’s team, though he runs Vergil or Task on point and usually Nova anchor :/)
Hawkeye (assist isn’t the best for Nova but suuuuuuuper good for Vergil)
Strange (lots of hard tag combos, good confirms, allows for pickups from Helm Breaker)
Arthur (I’ve seen someone run this before, it’s similar to the Strange version but without the hard tags but a better assist and anchor)
For Nova/Ammy:
Taskmaster (the old Moons team; it has some synergy but is mostly just strong backing for Nova than a full team)
Strange (hard tags, Strange/Ammy is a really good shell with a silly THC, good assist synergy)
MODOK (the new Moons team; Psionic Blaster is not the best assist, but it has TOD combos that are more meter-friendly than Nova/Vergil and lots of swag factor. The biggest problem is that MODOK/Ammy is a really blah shell.)
Nova/Vergil/Ammy could be made to work, but I think Nova’s gimped without a good horizontal assist.
I can’t believe as a Taskmaster player, I forgot to mention Task =((((( I’m a fraud. I feel the same way about Doom though. I hate him but I’m tryna look at him as an “acquired taste”.
I’ve said it a million times. Doom is Derek Fisher. He’s not the most exciting, but he will rack up a ton of assists, get big hits when you need them, and make inexplicable comebacks when he really shouldn’t.
I didn’t play Doom for a year because I had that mentality. Now I play Doom and he’s becoming one of my favorite characters. He’s pretty godlike.
Do yourself a favor and just pick up the ruler of Latveria. You won’t regret it when you start winning.
So a few months on, and lots of tech further down the line. What do we think are the top 5 Nova teams?
I’m gonna revamp the OP, and clear up the spoiler tag bullshit that new SRK broke, and i would also like to add a writeup on pros, cons and basic gameplan for the top 5 Nova teams. I’m thinking Nova/Doom/Ammy is a shoe in, probably Doom/Strider and Spencer/Strange. What else we got? Would like to reach some consensus and then get writeups from people for teams that i’m not familiar with, like team Marv.
Anyone think a Frank team makes the list? Zansam? I would personally say no, so that probably means you think yes 
x/Vergil/doom
If Nova Spencer Strange makes it, I think Nova Spencer Doom should too. IMO, right now I’m thinking:
Doom/Strider
Doom/Ammy
Vergil/Doom
Spencer/Strange
Spencer/Doom
I like Spencer/Strange waaaaaaaaaaay over Spencer/Doom. The former is way more meter positive, plus Bolts is one of the few assists that really serves as both coverage and lockdown in one, the only other team i can see in that shell is Iron Man as Marv has said, because Unibeam does the same sort of job.
Also once Nova goes down, Spencer/Bolts pisses all over Spencer/Plasma or Spencer/Unibeam
