Is Black Widow (Deadly Origin) meant to be able to counter attack after her evade?

Is it meant to function like Elsa Bloodstones/Count Nefaria’s counter attack, where you can go in for a combo after evading?

I find that with BWDO, the opponent always recovers quick enough to block my attack when I rush in after an evade.

I'm interested in the answer to this too. I noticed the same, BWDO seems to create the opening like Elsa, but then most of the time I rush in my attack just gets blocked. Can anyone from Kabam support us?

Same here

Hers is just an evade. You can't counter attack. In fact I use it occasionally to get a little bit of willpower healing while fighting her

Mordo can do this aswell, he can hit you with a light attack right after his evade. Which is a bit absurd 😁

Although Player Mordo can do this too, which is useful.

That's true, but what is unclear if this is her intended way of working. Which seems weird, personally: i mean, the whole BWDO playstile seems to be structured on intercepting, punishing, creating openings. So having a mechanism which seems to create an opener, but then doesn't, it's a bit confusing.

What is worse is that you get access to that evade mechanic through a sp1, so it also feels like the reward for the sp1 it's not worth it (on top of the already really short duration of sabotage, that i think could use some rework, but that's another story).

Try using heavy attack after you evade

Mmm doesn't seem to work unfortunately

when she evades she jumps back creating some space between her and the opponent, so going for a heavy won't connect

It does connect for me, the second hit of the heavy attack
Although that cannot count as a combo

The enemy must be cornered which is usually the case when I'm attacking to finish the fight asap

Up. Still confused and wondering if someone from Kabam can provide and official answer, is the one described above an intended behaviour?

captain_rogers

Yeah I Have the same doubt as well. It just shuts her damage loop, and unwanted evade and you have to now parry Or intercept for an opening.

I believe special 1 is meant to benefit Black Widow as a defender

As an attacker, I would choose special 2 for more damage, never special 1

@KabamPinwheel any chance for a look into this?
