Force Armor can make her very hard to kill, Aether Walker can allow her to bait out snipes or suddenly turn on the aggression.
At 4, in a 1v1 situation, Charged Blast is the obvious choice, especially with Nova clones interfering with Orb damage.
Personally I love Seeker, and it’d be trouble for the slow moving and squishy Nova.
Wave of Force, naturally.
Illusionist can work, but I prefer Cannoneer.
Fireflies, Mirrorball, Iron Skin all have applications. Mirror Ball will make one-shotting Nova so much easier though.
With Nova, probably just go W build.
Ionic Force Field is under rated, and will probably help greatly in a 1v1.
I think with these, Li-Ming can easily take it.
But Nova can easily take it also.
It’s a battle of glass cannons, it’s going to come down to which is played better.
In a 1v1 scenario, where Nova took Tripple Tap, there’s never a reason to use Wave of Force except to cancel Tripple Tap, or if it is going to deal the killing blow.
The only way you’re using TT is by taking advantage of it’s massive range.
