Hi Everyone,
"Natasha Romanoff is one of the world's best spies, first serving as a Russian operative and then as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D, but she finds herself on the run once more after the Avengers disband. Will her years of training be enough to protect the world from a cosmic threat?"
Check out the brand new 4-Star Black Widow (Infinity War), and find out how you can recruit her onto your team!
4-Star Rarity (Legendary)
Heroes, Avengers, Team Cap
(Abilities listed at level 270, Power Level 5)

(PASSIVE) At the start of the turn, if the enemy is Stunned, Black Widow destroys 3 enemy AP in a random color.
Defilade - 7 AP
When things start to look dicey, Black Widow hacks the enemy's surveillance system to keep herself out of sight and the line of fire. Black Widow creates 4 Invisibility tile(s). While Black Widow's Invisibility tile(s) are on the board, this power becomes Enfilade.
Enfilade - 10 AP
The Black Widow emerges from the shadows and strikes out with her batons, surprising her enemy with a tactical strike.

Also nice to have a new release PvE and a PVP end within 1 hour of each other. Glad we are back to that.
When things start to look dicey, Black Widow hacks the enemy's surveillance system to keep herself out of sight and the line of fire. Black Widow creates 4 Invisibility tile(s). While Black Widow's Invisibility tile(s) are on the board, this power becomes Enfilade.
And obviously, since we're in a bit of a Gambit centered world right now, it's nice that her stun is cheap and effective for freezing the Cajun, since her other two powers rely on CD tiles. Now if only we could've gotten a stun like THAT in 5* land! I'm looking at you, Warren Worthington III...
Keeping the newer pattern for Shield Training, two old 4*s (Eddie and Spider-Gwen, the oldest four were Miles, Eddie, Nova, and Spider-Gwen), and the oldest Latest 4* (Yondu, means Mockingbird is next). Grateful for that. Making things accessible to the playerbase so more people have a chance of earning a cover from Shield Training is nice. (you know, the exact opposite of the Infinity Stone situation; it's baffling how this lesson is learned in some areas of the game, and then ignored the next time something is rolled out to the playerbase...)
I like the art, always down for Strange Sights, should be a fun time.
Except that there are no Support tokens of any type in the Black Widow & Friends Store. Not even one. No Red-ISO either. It's like you've set up your own t-ball equipment but still can't knock one out of the park because you won't swing the bat.
Ultimately there's more good than bad here, but there's not enough good stockpiled to let the piddly goofs slip through unnoticed.
I mean, I ignore a lot of standard PVE stores myself - at most spending 100HP a day. But I will chase the new character vaults more (usually a 10 pack or two).
Gonna have to clean my desk so there's somewhere to bash my forehead in frustration.
Sad Strange Sights is the release event though. It’s the one PVE I usually score outside T10 for. Stupid doors!
And speaking of lowering AP thresholds, Nat looks really cool as an accelerator for basically any color with her yellow. Compared with Shuri, she's got a similar ability with a high cost vs a passive with some setup, which I think compares well. I want to see her with someone like Thing (suddenly 7 AP for red/9 for green), or Iceman (2(!!) AP for Blue/9 AP green). I would even try a three-color stun team with Gamora,Sandman/Black Widow for tons of stun passives.
Would need to see final Power descriptions for all levels, but for now I am thinking a 5/3/5 build. Makes sense to have the two Powers that deal damage maxed out. But you never know, maybe Purple gains a lot in the last two covers...
Could be fun to pair up with 5* Daredevil and 4* Gamora to really go nuts with "if the enemy is stunned" passives and stun Powers in Three different colors.
Some color overlap unfortunately but I Think I would rather use Daredevil's Purple and Widow's black most of the time.
Another good thing about her is that we just need one Purple cover for her 4* DDQ crash
I assumed it would be straight tile damage since it doesn't say otherwise. I could be wrong though.
That could actually be among the upgrades to level 5 - it may not deal damage and/or gather AP at lower levels.
I guess we will see for ourselves as soon as the Strange Sights preview pops up in-game...
