Right that's it! I must be playing a different game!

Super Nova - Can kill, but many does deadly status ailments.

At least you agree it can kill, everyone else I spoke to (online) treat it like it's a "demi" type attack - i.e. it just lowers you HP if that makes sense. (bull?)

I thought that it did something like 15/16 of your max hp.

15/16...what do you mean? It killed one of my characters, cause it does like 3500-6000 HP damage, killed off Cloud, the others had status ailments or one of them had Ribbon equipped.

what i mean is that it does a very high percentage damage of your max hp of your characters. so basically, if they're not at max hp when he does the attack, they die.
