Call down a fragment of the sun, dealing 1549 Magic Damage every 1 second for 8 seconds to enemies in the area and applying Major Maim to them for [7 / 8 / 9 / 10] seconds, reducing their damage done by 10%. An ally near the fragment can activate the Supernova synergy, dealing 3480 Magic Damage to all enemies in the area and stunning them for 3 seconds.

Nova deals magic damage over the target area and reduces enemies' attack damage. Allies can activate the ​ Supernova synergy to deal additional damage and stun enemies within range. Solar Prison changes the Synergy to ​ Gravity Crush, which increases the damage and stun duration. Or Solar Disturbance will reduce the movement speed of all enemies in the affected area.

Notes

• Solar Disturbance is a recommended morph for the Templar Initiate build, while Solar Prison is recommended for Bastion of Light and Beacon of Hope.

Patch Notes

1.2.3

• This ability can now deal critical strikes, and the damage-per-tick has been increased by 20%.
• Solar Disturbance: This ability now scales in damage from ranks I-IV, and now snares your targets by 60% at all ranks.

1.6.5

• Fixed several issues where some area of effect abilities weren't prioritizing targets that were far away from the caster, instead of targets closest to the caster.
  • The bonus damage done will apply to the 6 targets closest to the center of the sun for placed area of effect abilities, such as Nova.
• Decreased cost of this ability and its Morphs to 250 Ultimate from 300 Ultimate.
• Supernova: Decreased the synergy activation range to 2.5 meters.
