"Even as he gloats over his triumph, I am summoning every last bit of moisture from the air for hundreds of kios around. I am merging it together, bending it to my will, preparing to unleash all my elemental power in one single explosion of force. And I do ... and I hope to the Great Beings I never will again. "

Expression Exertion of all the Toa's elemental energy at once


A Nova Blast is an explosive release of all of a Toa's Elemental Energy. Although the effects will vary, the blast radius of a Nova Blast released by an average Toa will encompass an area larger than the city of Metru Nui. Once a Toa has performed one, they cannot access their Elemental Powers until their Elemental Energy has recharged. A maskless Toa can perform a Nova Blast, although the blast would be significantly weakened.

Toa rarely use this ability, and only then as a last resort, as it is incredibly dangerous and is likely to kill anyone in the blast radius and destroy any nearby structures.

Trivia

  • The Nova Blast was first acknowledged in the non-canon BIONICLE: The Game as a "Nuva Blast," but was later included by Greg Farshtey as a part of the BIONICLE canon.
  • Toa Hordika cannot perform Nova Blasts as they lack the focus and willpower necessary for it, although they can charge their Rhotuka to near-Nova Blast levels. However, they would risk losing control at that point.
  • "Toa" Ignika could perform a Life Nova Blast, which would either bring everything to life in a certain range, including objects, or make everything die in a certain range.
  • Makuta cannot perform Shadow Nova Blasts, although they possess an ability that is similar in nature.
  • The Glatorian imbued with Elemental Power by Mata Nui can also perform the equivalent of a Nova Blast, though it would kill the Glatorian in the process; this is because their bodies, being primarily organic, are not made to withstand that amount of energy.
