Probably exclusively GSBW tournament.

Does anyone know what a hollowpoint kiss is?

That sting of an opposing gsbw downing your entire team with sniper rifle... so no

Exciting! A new tourney type featuring GSBW for the first time ever (I think?). I am definitely looking forward to this one - I haven't played with my GSBW in weeks!

Unknown

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope all the Black Widows are boosted, but doubt this is the case

Unknown

GSBW... Mmmmmmm...

Could be some serious carnage, I'm telling you.

Yeah, they'd just rerun widowmaker which did that if this is the case. You don't see mBW or oBW carryin guns either.

Kind of curious how long it would take Patch and Hulk to turn 9 green ap in to 19, my guess is 1 or 2 anger countdowns

That will be nice too, Thunder Strike and Deceptive Tactics fueling Sniper while Thor tanks Green, throw in the Hood for good measure, she'll be able to tank black for him (for whatever that's worth).

It's hard not to use Spidey with GSBW because of their purple synergy.

That's another good one, her buffed health +web bandages would make up for her tanking blue and purple too.

Assuming it is GSBW I think I will finally move her from level 115. She does some pretty serious damage already, but more is always better.

So this could just be an extended GSBW LR. Fast ISO for everyone with the right covers.

I just do not see the point of her now that BP is around with all of that nice health of his.

All three of her abilities can smash tiles, create cascades and/or change the board. The user gets to select exactly where. There isn't any other character that can do that.

I think people underrate her damage output also, because at high levels, she's hitting for 10-11k on her sniper rifle (not counting cascade damage) and 1100-1200 on her red damage (not counting cascades). Plus she can make 2 crits (easily) with her purple, which can be merged with enviro tiles.


But, you're right, she doesn't have the scare factor that BP does in PVP, because BP's powerset is pretty dummy-proof for the AI to capitalize on.

This event almost makes me want to compete in the Steve Rodgers event going currently for my first GSBW covers, but I just don't think I can muster all that PvP effort (and it being the weekend too) after top 10ing the last 2 big ones. Could use the ares cover more anyway. Really wishing they still had the old 3-2-1 rewards for 2* covers right about now. Oh well.

Seriously, it's like Panther came along, took the canon and aimed it up at the glass ceiling, lit the fuse and jumped in to a box protected by vibranium and popped back out to collect the environmental ap and laugh at Widow picking out the shards of glass.

An extra 'no prize' to anyone that catches the House of M reference.

I want to apologize for hitting you in TBTI over and over. I kept seeing the same 5 or 6 teams for a little bit yesterday and was tired of skipping to see another repeat. I think you got me back a few times at least.

Unknown

I just hope the rewards for this aren't anything new or good. Even with the green from this captain America tourney I will only have 4 in green She is around level 60 from forever ago though.. So maybe I should get to tanking now!
