Whelp, there goes the reasonable pattern you guys had established. Tossed it out the window because people had some grasp on what was coming.

Brigby said:Enfilade - 10 APThe Black Widow emerges from the shadows and strikes out with her batons, surprising her enemy with a tactical strike. Black Widow destroys her Invisibility tile(s) and destroys 4 enemy special tiles, dealing damage and gaining AP. If there are no Invisibility tiles on the board, this power becomes Defilade.

Can this power fire if there are no enemy special tiles on the board? If so should it be worded "destroys up to 4 enemy special tiles"?

Sad Strange Sights is the release event though. It’s the one PVE I usually score outside T10 for. Stupid doors! Am I going crazy? She seems borderline terrible. Black is decent, but up stuns are meh. Would much rather have a nap stun like ice, gamora, or (sort of) nova. Her purple is bad 17 ap to do a bit of damage and destroy some enemy specials? Ick. And map for invis is fine, but hardly anything to get excited about. And her yellow is awful. This is basically st4r-lord's old yellow with a higher cost and a big burst heal added on. It was a bad power before, and burst healing won't change my opinion. Especially not at a higher ap cost. She seems lower-middle tier. What am I missing with her?

Straycat said: In her shield training loaner node, boy is she underwhelming. Even with a team that spawn enemy tiles, 17 purple is too much. Her 2 stage purple needs some kind of passive. Give her a reason to stay invisible, or a counter if her tile gets matched. 5/3/5, purple is bad enough to ignore.
mega ghost said: -snip-Brigby How does the the destroying of the 3 AP work? Does it randomly select a color that has AP, guaranteeing AP destruction, or does it select a color and then if there's no AP in it then too bad, the power fires anyway and does nothing? -snip-
A good character only if paired with certain characters. Alone is just a medium to low tier 4*. Just take a look at the Shield Training example. BW/Yondu/Venow VS MaxPunisher/Beast/Daken
You can be invisible but it´s not enough. In my opinion she looks like the new invisible woman...

Based on that history, I would presume that Black Widow's ability will instead only randomly select one of the enemy pools that contains AP, and ignore any that don't.

Thanks Brigby I actually didn't realize that was unintended design in the past! Also, RE: her yellow, do you know if "ally powers cost 3 less AP to fire" include her powers, or only her teammate's powers?
