Project Hero

Project Hero v0.15.14 -- NEW HERO-TIER POWER: NOVA (Richard Rider). Nova Force, 40 b/s flight, 12 moves and the Nova Overload ultimate

🌟 NEW HERO: NOVA Richard Rider, Centurion of the Nova Corps. A gold-and-teal cosmic flier who bends gravity and fires the Nova Force.

🚀 HOW TO GET IT

• Find a Crashed Nova Corps Pod: a rare scorched crater with a downed gold-and-blue Nova Corps fighter, nose buried in the ground, with a long skid furrow behind it. It spawns in the same biomes as the Mjolnir crater and is about as rare as the Kryptonite crater.
• A dying Nova Corps Centurion sits slumped by the torn-open hatch. Walk up and he'll talk to you.
• Right-click him and he hands you the Nova Corps Helmet, then fades away in golden light.
• Use the helmet to become Nova. Like every hero, it replaces your current Primary power.
• Creative/admin: the helmet and a Centurion spawn egg are in the creative tab, plus /projecthero power grant nova, /projecthero nova force <0-100> and /projecthero nova site (builds a crash site in front of you).

🛡️ THE SUIT (H)

• Press H to suit up: golden energy wraps you from the feet up in 1.2 seconds. Press H again and it unravels.
• The uniform is drawn over your own skin, and your face shows in the helmet opening. Works with wide and slim skins.
• The cyan star and eye lenses glow in the dark.
• Your moves, flight and passives only work while suited. Shift+H still opens the power wheel.

⚡ NOVA FORCE

• A 100-point bar that refills 4 a second. Moves spend it, and sprint-flying drains 2 a second.

🕊️ FLIGHT

• Double-tap jump in the air to fly: 20 blocks/s, 40 blocks/s sprinting, with a golden trail.

🧠 PASSIVES (while suited)

• 60% damage reduction.
• No fall damage.
• Worldmind: every mob within a 32-block sphere gets a gold outline, even through walls. Only you can see it.

👊 MOVES (hold Shift for the second move on each key)

• R: Nova Blast. Hold to channel a golden beam: 8 damage a second, 32 blocks, up to 8 s. Costs 6 Force a second, 1.5 s cooldown.
• Shift+R: Nova Bolt Volley. 5 homing golden bolts, 6 damage each. 20 Force, 6 s.
• G: Gravimetric Pulse. A 6-block shockwave that knocks enemies into the air for 10 damage. 20 Force, 8 s.
• Shift+G: Gravity Slam. From at least 2 blocks up, dive into an 8-block crater shockwave: 6 damage + 0.6 per block you fell, up to 18. 25 Force, 12 s.
• Z: Force Shield. A 4 second bubble that absorbs every projectile and melee hit. 25 Force, 15 s.
• Shift+Z: NOVA OVERLOAD (ULTIMATE). Needs a full bar and uses all of it. For 10 seconds every move is free, hits 50% harder and has half the cooldown, and it ends in a 30-damage nova burst over 10 blocks. 90 s cooldown.
• X: Comet Dash. Ram 20 blocks forward, 14 damage to everything in your path. 15 Force, 6 s.
• Shift+X: Orbital Launch. Grab the nearest hostile within 8 blocks, rocket 30 blocks up and spike it into the ground: 20 damage plus the fall, and 6 splash damage around the impact. 30 Force, 20 s.
• C: Gravity Well. Open a singularity where you aim (up to 24 blocks). It pulls in mobs within 8 blocks for 3 seconds, then collapses for 20 damage. 30 Force, 14 s.
• Shift+C: Gravity Lock. Every mob within 10 blocks is lifted 3 blocks and frozen in the air for 4 seconds. 35 Force, 20 s.
• V: Worldmind Scan. A 48-block pulse that outlines everything for 10 seconds and marks the strongest enemy, which takes +25% damage from everyone. 15 Force, 20 s.
• Shift+V: Nova Force Transfer. Heals you and squadmates within 8 blocks for 6 hearts. 40 Force, 20 s.

🤝 FAIR PLAY

• Nova never hits your squadmates, their pets or your own pets, and only hits players when PvP is on.
• Grabs, pulls and lifts only affect mobs, never players.
• Bosses can't be grabbed or pulled, and take at most 8% of their max health from any one hit.

📊 HUD

• A Nova Force bar plus R G Z X C V move boxes. Hold Shift to see the Shift moves.
• On small screens the HUD moves up above your hotbar, health and food so it never covers them.

📖 New guidebook chapter: Nova. Nova can also be rolled from the random Heroic serum.

🔧 Also: fixed two game tests that occasionally failed the release build.

(v0.15.13 was never published, so this is the Nova release.)
