He could be referring to vanguard heavy melee coming out of charge. Maybe causes enemies to explode also w/ inferno ammo

But Vanguards need another power don't they? I mean every class so far has 2 unique powers.

Maybe it's what they're calling carnage when fully leveled.

Could just be a Vangard enhancement perk for special ammo.

It could be a power that triggers when the player is using Charge to create a larger explosion.

So far the most likely discriptions have been:
new class specific skill for vanguard
heavy melee for vanguard
new biotic skill that pushes enemies in 360°
the new carnage ability, fully evolved
Now i'm not so good with nomenclature, but here is my deduction:
The name nova most likely refers to 2 possible things, one is a fiery explosion, the other is an expanding ability that has the user at the epicenter. Or possibly both, meaning the user sends out an explosive pulse and burns everyone around him, and pushes them back.
However, since the vanguard is a biotic/combat hybrid class, fire is unlikely to be true, since that fits into a tech class. Ofcourse i exclude ammo powers, since they aren't actuals "powers", they are more like weapon upgrades.
Now, we know the dev mentioned incendiary ammo, so lets call it relevant. This could mean that the active ammo power on a weapon, has effect on the nature of a charge; with incendiary ammo you get nova, with cryo you get f.e. frostbite. now this does sound very far fetched, but we don't know what the new vanguard skill is, so we can't be so quick to dismiss it.

I'm still inclined to think Nova is a result of combining Charge and Warp.
But Charge+Warp+Inferno Ammo combo would sound just crazy awesome.

No doubt the Vanguard's heavy melee attack, probably some sort of biotic palm blast.

Thank you. Nova is a common enough term in video games. It's an area attack, specifically a point-blank AOE centering around the caster.

Yeah, and that could make the combo pretty devastating. Remove armor with Shotgun blast>Get in close + send enemy flying with Charge>While in the air, further propel the enemy forward with Nova> Raining batarians

They did say they were trying to make Vanguard a little "better" for insanity. Maybe the Nova combo is one of the ways. They also said that Vanguard would be the same, but better.
There is also this. The Vanguard will be getting a new combo with Warp that works with Charge or Shockwave. Should help on Insanity.

Just recently played SW force unleashed 2 and there was an abilty where you sent a blast wave out on all sides and stunned/knocked back all enemies around you. When evolved it would disintegrate them. Nova could be the biotic version of this "force" power

it could be super.
It will have to be if it's going to compete with Charge for that precious cooldown. I'm wondering if it won't feature some sort of defensive properties too. When I'm Charging like crazy on Insanity, I need to use almost every cooldown to save my life. It's hard to imagine how Nova will fit into such a playstyle without some barrier restoration.
And yeah, I get the joke. Super nova. Ell oh ell.

I'm guessing that it's a 360 degree biotic burst that knocks enemies back. That should allow vanguards time to get into cover.

But if that's all it is, wouldn't it be redundant with Area Charge?

Hum, or maybe Nova is just the evolution of Area Charge. Inflicting damage.

Huzzah! This is just what the Vanguard needs!
An "OUTTA MY WAY" style close range AOE power with good CC and cooldown.

Wiki - A nova is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion in a star caused by the accretion of hydrogen on to the surface of a white dwarf star, which ignites and starts nuclear fusion in a runaway manner.
I guess some kinda Biotic Power.
