Kanohi Nuva

"The Mask of Shielding protected all of us! It could never do that before!"

- Tahu Nuva, Comic 8: The End of the Toa?

The Kanohi Nuva were more advanced forms of Kanohi.

History
The Kanohi Nuva were worn by the Toa Nuva after they were immersed in Energized Protodermis. Most of the Kanohi Nuva were created in Artakha and teleported to the island of Mata Nui for the Toa Nuva to use. Each Toa collected one of each type of mask, however, upon entering the Universe Core, they lost the ability to access the masks they had stored on Metru Nui due to Karda Nui's shielding. The Toa Nuva got Adaptive Kanohi Nuva when they received their Adaptive Armor. However, these new masks still had the same powers.

Unique Powers

 * Kanohi Nuva gave their user(s) an enhanced version of the original mask's power.
 * Kanohi Nuva let their user(s) share their mask power with nearby beings (including Turaga and Rahi), although its range was limited.
 * Only Toa Nuva could activate Kanohi Nuva.

Trivia

 * Setwise, Trinuma wore a Hau Nuva. It was not a Kanohi Nuva in the story, however.
 * Hypothetically, one could create a Kanohi Nuva version of almost any standard Kanohi (e.g. Huna Nuva, Iden Nuva, etc.).
