How the N.O.V.A. page is built

Where the data comes from

This N.O.V.A. page is built from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches pulled from the Riot Games API. Ladder games are sampled across regions and ranks, read, and filtered to the current set and patch. The champions that carry N.O.V.A., the comps that run it, and the pick rates shown here all come from those games.

What this page shows

The breakpoints list how many units are needed for each level of N.O.V.A.. The champions are the units that hold the trait, ordered by how often they are played, and the comps are the boards that run N.O.V.A., sorted by their own tier so the strongest builds appear first.

This N.O.V.A. data is a snapshot of the current meta and shifts with patches and balance changes. How far you push the trait still depends on your units, items, and lobby.
