N.O.V.A. also known as Neo-Operational Vanguard Agents.
Each of them comes with Perks which are special boosts with different levels.
The new feature appears on the game backpage on the right of the screen:
There are 3 species of N.O.V.A. available with the launch of this content expansion:
| NORMAL N.O.V.A. | ||
| SKASTA | GLOBOR | VOLGUTH |
 |
 |
 |
| E.O.S. DIVISION | |||
| STRENG NOX | GRAEJAS ENDER | JUDIX LEER | BIM BAM |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| U.P.S. DIVISION | |
| LIVING ARMOR | RAVEN OF THE ABYSS |
 |
 |
- You can obtain N.O.V.A.s from the Shop for 100.000
(under the Extras section), or limited-time payment packages. - When opening the N.O.V.A. window, you can assign a N.O.V.A. by selecting the EQUIP button. The N.O.V.A. is then set as active.
- Each N.O.V.A. comes with 2 perks, each of which affords a certain boost. These perks are randomized at the time of obtaining and can be further upgraded.
- When activating a N.O.V.A., energy is consumed and its perks will be active. Once the N.O.V.A. runs out of energy, the perks will no longer be active. N.O.V.A.s will need to be unequipped in order to regain energy.
- The maximum amount of N.O.V.A.s you can own is 30. If you obtain a N.O.V.A. when your N.O.V.A. inventory is already full, it will be converted into 10.000
- The species of N.O.V.A. that you obtain will be random. However, they only vary aesthetically. The possible perks rolled are the same for the three species.
- You can dismiss unwanted N.O.V.A. and get Evocation Chips in return. The selling price for each N.O.V.A. is 50 Evocation Chips.
All N.O.V.A.s start with 2 random perk

N.O.V.A. ENERGY
Each N.O.V.A. has the same amount of energy but can have different total energy costs (determined by the sum of each perk’s energy cost). As soon as you equip a N.O.V.A., the energy is consumed immediately in real-time. This means that the N.O.V.A. remains active only if the N.O.V.A.‘s current energy is more than the total energy cost.
Example:
- N.O.V.A.s energy = 3500/300000
- Energy cost for Knowledge Seeker = 15 per second
- Energy cost for P.E.T. Ranger = 20 per second
- This means that the N.O.V.A.’s total energy cost is 35 per second and it will last for 100 seconds with the remaining energy
- Equipped N.O.V.A.s will stay equipped even if their energy has depleted. But if so, the perks will no longer be active.
- The only way that N.O.V.A.s can replenish their energy is if they are rested (i.e. unequipped)
- Each N.O.V.A. has an Energy Regen value which determines the rate at which the N.O.V.A.s energy will be replenished.
- With this release, each N.O.V.A. will have an Energy Regen value of 10 per second.
- You can hire N.O.V.A.s from the Shop (under the Extras section), or limited-time payment packages. There is a chance of getting N.O.V.A.s from both Neo and Eos Divisions via the Uridium shop option. During special N.O.V.A. Galaxy Gate weekends, there’s a chance that the new N.E.U. chips are dropping and you can use them to build the N.O.V.A.s from the Neo Division via Assembly.
