  1. 1 · PositionStand at A Tree, on the side the site cannot see.
  2. 2 · TargetThe landing zone is A Site — the deny plant only works if it covers it.
  3. 3 · ReleasePlace Stars in Astral Form (Ultimate Key). ACTIVATE a Star to detonate a Nova Pulse. The Nova Pulse charges briefly then strikes, Concussing all players in its area.

What it buys

The default plant is the one the attack has already committed to; damage on it turns a lost site into a stalled one.

Do not use it when Damage spent before the plant is damage the retake no longer has.

Recall test

Without looking: from A Tree, where does this deny plant land?

Answer first, then reveal — recalling is the part that transfers to a round.
