Defense Type: AoE Ground + Air
Faction: Sylari Ascendancy
Lore
Forged in the hidden vaults beneath the Astral Court, the Nova Ring draws power from the ley lines that pulse beneath the surface. When charged, it releases a blinding ring of arcane force that erupts outward, damaging all enemies caught in its radiant shockwave. The longer it charges, the stronger the blast—making it deadly against clustered units.
