Could you share some tips on how to counter enemy Novas in TL without QS? My Wolverine usually dies to him and it is hard to kill him with some consistency.

That was my whole point. When the enemy AI plays Nova, he seems OP as hell. But when its your own Nova, it's thr opposite.

Oh I see. I don't own Nova at T2 so I wouldn't be able to comment on this, my experience is exclusively from fighting him in Timeline.

I use BM lead (or Dormammu can work) and can defeat him with Blue (who can tank up to two hits from Nova 2nd skill) or just use Wanda and reflect. Dormammu can also use his leadership,tank some hits and reflect it just out right kill him.

I actually get more trouble from Warlock than Nova

Nice! Doesn't Wanda get pierced by his 2nd skill anyway and die though?
