Tips and tactics

 * While its damage is low, it is enough to instantly kill certain low-health targets.
 * While its damage is minimal, Holy Nova is one of the Holy priest's only instant damage spells. In certain situations this spell can be useful in finishing an opponent that is very close to death.
 * Holy Nova can also be useful when dealing with stealthed opponents, as an instant, movable AoE that can bring damaged targets out of stealth.
 * Holy Nova is the Holy priest's only spammable instant damage ability.

Trivia

 * Holy Nova is a basic Priest spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "If the Holy Light forsakes you, good luck casting this spell. Also, you're probably a jerk."
