55.0% of Starr Nova's star power picks go to Mystical Starr Technique. Star powers ride along with the Super rather than working on their own, so the choice follows how the brawler uses it. Power Level Maximum trails behind at 45.0%. Floaty Time is the gadget of choice at 56.0% pick rate. Unlike a star power, a gadget is triggered on its own rather than with the Super, and it can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Shining Starr Of Friendship And Justice sees the rest of the picks at 44.0%. DAMAGE leads the gear slot at 39.4%, with SHIELD (37.0%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.
