Was feeling overwhelmed learning a new boss after learning bosses for two weeks. Once I saw the real Nova (phase 4?) for the first time I was like uhhhhhh lol, hey this is neat.

Got comfortable with the first part, tripped on myself a whole lot in phase 4, then found myself at least completing the fight with over three and a half minutes long of mission time. I think I got as close as three minutes and thirty-four seconds and it was still a 1.0x time multiplier. I was too slow. So I went more aggressive with getting extra hits in. Also, one interesting thing I saw while I had Anthem on was that I was hovering at the bottom left corner and anything that touches Gunvolt's field takes damage, so while studying the patterns I noticed that the black dragon that spawns at either bottom corner was destroyed, lol. I was trying to figure out how to dodge the chains move and when that happened I was like I'll give it a try.

I snuck in one or two extra hits when Nova is at the top center and the dragon is blowing wind from the side, one or two extra hits when Nova is doing his first special while landing straight down at the beginning of that pattern, and loaded hits during phase 4 when he's doing the voltaic chains from the center as well as the sword move from the left or right sides. It was enough extra hits to significantly shorten the fight and then it was a matter of optimizing how safe I can be.

One more boss.
