Tips that save runs
- Nova's Wormhole: the ability this changes.
- Ability Duration mods: they lengthen the 7 second boost.
- Fast squads, since the boost helps every ally that steps through.
- The speed bonus is not affected by Ability Strength. Ability Duration changes how long it lasts.
- Going through an active Wormhole again refreshes the boost.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Stacking Strength for a bigger speed bonus; it does nothing here.
- Assuming it buffs summons or decoys.
