NOVA 2 - Meet Pyre
Slice and dice
Ready to light things up on the battlefield? This is the first of a series that introduces the Sparks of NOVA 2 to you!
While NOVA 2 is going to have new Sparks, it’s also bringing along the Sparks from the original NOVA.
And I can’t think of a better Spark to start this series with than Pyre, everyone’s favorite robot with a fire sword.
Playstyle
Pyres are your classic DPS class. They can be built to be single-target murderbots, or can whittle away at waves of enemies with one swing after another of their flaming sword.
Check out this video to learn about how Sparks are customized in NOVA 2. I use Pyre as the example and show you a few ways you can build it in your campaign!
Lore
Pyre was the second Spark designed by the scientists of Helios. Voyager (coming soon) was the first, a scouting model that wandered the dangers of the Dusk mapping the world. Well, a lot of those Voyagers didn’t make it back because the Dusk is full of horrors.
As a result, Pyre was designed. They were primarily deployed alongside Voyagers as a protector. Once the lethal potential of the model was realized, the Spark Corps of Helios started sending Pyres out solo to take out high value targets like Corvus officers and Lunar Cult paladins.
In the time of NOVA 2, Pyres are still one of Helios’ most reliable models. It turns out a super fast robot with a sword made from a piece of a dead sun is always something you can count on.
Coming Soon
Pyre and the rest of the Sparks are coming soon. Follow the NOVA 2 page to get notified when it launches later this year.
Next week we’ll meet one of the new Spark models!
