Deals 230 damage to the first enemy hit.

Properties: Clamping, Skillshot
Cast time: 0.1 + 0 seconds
Range: 10.8725

Holo Decoy Icon
E
Holo Decoy
50 Mana Cooldown: 15 seconds

Create a Decoy for 5 seconds with 100% of Nova's current Health that attacks enemies, dealing 10% of Nova's base damage. Whenever a Decoy takes damage it deals that amount to itself, effectively doubling the damage it takes. Using this Ability does not break Stealth.

Cast time: Instant
Range: 8.0
Holo Decoy
Basic Attack damage: 10.5
Snipe damage: 23
Pinning Shot damage: 10
Pinning Shot Slow: 5%

  • Decoy can use Snipe and Pinning Shot with reduced damage and Slow values. Decoys only use their Abilities against Heroes.
  • If Nova is Stealthed while casting Holo Decoy, the decoy will also be Stealthed and vice versa.
  • Stealthed Decoys only attack Heroes. Unstealthed decoys also attack Structures, Summons and aggroed Mercenaries, but not Minions, unless the Lethal Decoy Talent has been picked.
  • Decoys will immediately attack the closest visible enemy Hero when one comes in its range and mimics Nova's Basic Abilities in the following order: Pinning Shot > Snipe > Basic Attack.
  • Killing a Decoy grants no XP or Takedown credit.
  • Decoy benefits from all of Nova's non-active Talents, unless otherwise noted.
  • Decoy has its own base damage values, causing the damage reduction percentage to stack multiplicatively with offensive damage modifiers, but displays the floating damage text as if it were from the real Nova (full damage value).

  • Triple Tap can't be manually cancelled and only ends, if its channeling is interrupted or if the target is killed, becomes untargetable, moves more than 50 units past its maximum range or once all 3 shots have been fired.
  • Interrupting the channel in any way before any shots have been fired puts Triple Tap on a 10 second cooldown, and otherwise on full cooldown.
