"Protect Nova" is an objective in The Saboteur in Battleborn
Walkthrough[edit]
The first wave has you start against a good number of Varelsi from the sides of the area. Be sure that one or two of the team members are staying nearby the Computer Terminal while Nova is uploading the worm. This will help the team keep the damage fairly minimal to the control terminal while giving you a great chance to get through the forces all around you. Most of the initial wave will appear in the front of the room but after that, they will start appearing all over the room and heading for the terminal Nova is in. There will be be Varelsi Skulks, Varelsi Scaven, Varelsi Hunters Varelsi Beastmasters, and Varelsi Scaven Alpha. The second half of the wave will have Thralls coming into the fray.
The second wave will be much of the same. This time, there will be more portals close to the terminal immediately. There is no delay on them being aggressive against it. You will also start to see more strong foes like the Varelsi Marksmen and Brutes. There will be the odd Channeler as well. Expect to start encountering more Thralls in the last part of the wave as well. When the wave thins, have the people guarding the core move away from it. They need to move and hunt down the remaining Vaerlsi.
The core guards need to return to the core before the countdown finishes. The rest of the team needs to spread throughout the room to be in position to deal with the incoming threats. The third wave starts with Varelsi Scaven Alpha, Defiler and Channeler coming in from the sides and start very close to the core. Most of them will be appearing fairly close to the terminal. The outer people should work their way in toward the terminal to manage everything. These are very difficult to manage. Just keep the bullets/attacks going after your foes.
