How to play Starr Nova
- Squishier and more skill-dependent than recent Mythic releases, but has genuine carry potential in Gem Grab, Bounty, and Brawl Ball once mastered.
- Hardest countered by crowd-control brawlers that can interrupt her Super dash — a stun, knockback, or pull during the transformation cancels it entirely.
- Re-cast the Super before the 7-second sword-form timer runs out to stay in her stronger form indefinitely.
