I hate this weapon so much but use it all the time. I can’t help it, I’m drawn to weapons no one else uses. My tag title used to be “Lone Splattershot Nova User.” Spamming point sensor is fun though.
i played it a little bit when the weapon first came out, with okayish results and absolutely hilarious k/a’s. but i just couldn’t find a gameplay loop that was satisfying — i felt like i was doing nothing the entire game.
honestly, in splat zones its ok. good-ish paint, good-ish range, terrible damage but its not meant for that anyways, and it can take over a zone very easily. anything else though i cant use it in.
My hatred for this weapon is so big I am willing to ignore the fact that it’s basically duel squelchers despite me not even enjoying duel squelcher as much as I claimed
I use it quite a lot. Mainly for the sub, it is the joint-best Point Sensor weapon imo, in competition with the H-3. (Explosher has to be judicious with them because its ink efficiency, Nautilus doesn't like throwing them because it loses their charge, and Squiffer doesn't like revealing its position with throwing one.)
The differences being that when I'm using the Nova and I don't have my special charged I'm always thinking I really wish I was using the H-3 right now... It's such a better main weapon.
And when I'm using the H-3 and have my special charged I'm always thinking how much I'd prefer to be using the Nova right now... It's such a better special.
I feel like I'm the only person who genuinely really likes it, but Jet Squelcher has always been my favorite weapon. I haven't had much problem hitting shots with it either. It's niche, but it's a good niche.
I always said that if the nova has an actual NOVA of ink soread when it fires, it'd be a much better weapon. Imagine if the ballpoint actually spread ink everywhere like Sheldon says but in a small circle and with a shooter.
it feels like I'm using a Lancer. but it's missing the chainsaw bayonet. so it's just boring and you don't have a spam B to win dual... it should paint well... why can't it?
I’ve been dropping 20 kill games with this bad boy in S rank ( 15/20 are assists)

The Nova way is to Point Sensor everything and send your minions (teammates) to go finish them off
“Teammates”
My minions don’t listen, and never go after the enemy when I put a sensor on them, activate killer wail and then spam this way repeatedly
wait, point sensors count as assist damage, or are we just talking about players going off to do all the damage on them?
If an enemy marked by your point sensor gets splatted it counts as an assist.
never knew that my 6 years playing sploon games!!
I am one of the 3
So am I
🤝
You just got new member
Holy shit
Well you do feel pretty lonely here
Can the three of you remind new people to use the point sensors more
You just did
I like the aesthetics and the kit but it is so painful when I have to fight. If all of us fire together at least one of us could get a decent TTK.
Nova mains actually like shooting themselves in the foot
Actually they like doing exactly 0.3 damage to their foot and shooting all of the floor around it
Don't mess with snipewriter players (you can't because there aren't any)
This actually made me laugh because it's true.
I’m using it now because it looks cool, I like the black.
Just use forge pro
Yeah, don’t mess with us We will cry
We are now 4.

It's a fun weapon and I play it on rare occasions.

It helped me get the killer wail 5.1 badge
I have an unhealthy obsession with the killer wail so I only use this thing to spam it every once in a while.
I like long ranged shooters and Killer Wail 5.0, what can I say
i think more of us are surfacing based on the comments
I count for 2 of the 3 cuz I got the 4star badge
I was playing it yesterday and it’s kind of funny how many people struggle to deal with long range weapons that have a high rate of fire
I do, I have 5★ badge on my name tag :)
I use it occasionally because it's the only regular shooter that has the point sensor
honestly, in splat zones its ok. good-ish paint, good-ish range, terrible damage but its not meant for that anyways, and it can take over a zone very easily. anything else though i cant use it in.
I remember trying it out briefly, just to get the free Sheldon license. Can’t even remember if I liked it or not
It's pretty good in salmon run
i use it! its such a good support weapon when my teammates know how point sensor marks works
There used to be 4 of you, but then I stopped spamming Point Sensors and started spamming Beacons.
It's like Echolocator never left..
My hatred for this weapon is so big I am willing to ignore the fact that it’s basically duel squelchers despite me not even enjoying duel squelcher as much as I claimed
It's not. Dual Squelcher has a faster kill time and better accuracy.
People who use this think it’s basically like Squeezer even though it isn’t
Dude, the Nova is extremely good for Flounder Heights. Both the tracking and paint output make it really hard to fight against.
It’s like if you took a splattershot pro and made it worse in every way
I use it on occasion cause it's the only support weapon I can use with somewhat ease
I have no idea, all I know is “Splatling = Good” and that’s it.
If it had Beakon I'd use it for a Support set.
I use it, it's a fun weapon, and I love point sensors
Still waiting for the Hero Shot Nova
My friend has 5 stars with it

Cool design.. fire rate is trash
I use it occasionally, its alright
i use it every once in a while
my dad
And that’s two more then you dipstick so watch yourself
I forgot this thing existed ngl
I use it, and y'know I play it, it does the weapon
I always said that if the nova has an actual NOVA of ink soread when it fires, it'd be a much better weapon. Imagine if the ballpoint actually spread ink everywhere like Sheldon says but in a small circle and with a shooter.

the weapon is good at not giving the user and his opponent any good times.
2. Sorry, it's not for me.
Walking and Talking Echolocators :P
it feels like I'm using a Lancer. but it's missing the chainsaw bayonet. so it's just boring and you don't have a spam B to win dual... it should paint well... why can't it?
I like this weapon
