About Black Widow (Deadly Origin)
Recruited into the KGB at an early age and trained in the Red Room, Natasha Alianovna Romanoff developed into one of the world's greatest and most ruthless assassins. After drawing the attention of Nick Fury, she was recruited to join S.H.I.E.L.D. at Clint Barton's recommendation, even going on to become a founding member of The Avengers. Following the events of The Avengers Civil War, Romanoff is forced to confront the darkness of her past in the Red Room and the possibility of future generations of Black Widow assassins.
Black Widow (Deadly Origin)’s Mechanics
Black Widow is an assassin Champion who excels in Critical Hits, Shocks, Defensive Ability Accuracy reduction, and Evasion. Her Widow’s Insight ability triggers whenever her opponent leaves themselves open to an attack and allows her Basic and Special Attacks to strike with enhanced effectiveness. Her ability to Shock and reduce Defensive Ability Accuracy increase dramatically while Widow’s Insight is active, and also allow her to enhance her critical rating with each combo. Opponents also have to be aware of her subtle Sabotage Debuff, which deals bonus damage each time Black Widow (Deadly Origin) causes a Defensive Ability to fail.

- High Sustained Damage
- By utilizing Widow’s Insight and Black Widow’s Shock Debuffs, players can consistently sustain high amounts of damage. This is possible only if the player consistently strikes the opponent while Widow’s Insight is active.
- Evading Misses
- Black Widow’s Evade ability is unique in that it is activated after she Misses an attack. This is a useful countermeasure against champions such as Invisible Woman and Guillotine 2099 as it allows her to Evade away from danger immediately after Missing a strike.
- Defensive Ability Counter - Sabotage
- This ability dramatically increases the damage Black Widow can dish out versus champions with Defensive Abilities such as Thing’s Rock Stacks and Hulk’s Fury Buff.
- Shock Immune Champions
- A large portion of Black Widow’s damage comes from Shock Damage, and any champions that are Immune to Shock will shut down a large portion of her damage.
- True Strike and True Accuracy
- Black Widow is not able to rely on her Evade if her Opponent has a reliable True Strike or True Accuracy ability.
- Damage Over Time Effects
- Black Widow does not have an immediate ability to Purify debuffs, nor regenerate health. This makes her very susceptible to Damage Over Time effects such as a Bleed and Incinerate.

RECOMMENDED MASTERIES
Liquid Courage / Double Edge
- The Shock damage that Black Widow can output is very strong, but can still be boosted with these Masteries. If players bring the Remembering Budapest Synergy, Black Widow will take significantly less damage from the Bleed portion of Double Edge.
Willpower
- Since Black Widow is susceptible to Damage over Time Effects, Willpower offers players a method to offset the damage she would take from these sources.
Cruelty / Precision
- Black Widow is capable of high levels of Critical Hit Damage once she is able to get consistent combos in a fight. Adding Cruelty and Precision Masteries on top of Black Widow’s Critical Hit boosts will only boost her damage further.

knocked out or dead
Dr. Zola
Here she is vs winter soldier at r5.
Shock - are good enough but when fighting vs electro, thing, torch, havoc, ext it is not playable at all. Ok - mutans are ok to be bad opponents, but science? Really? Make the shock passive for science for example!
Ok fine... next
Shock immunity - emmm she has no damage without. NO DAMAGE.
Ok make her main point damage dealing - sabotage
Just need to redo 2 mechanics: shock dealing tactics or sabotage tactics if the opponent is immune. For the mutants - reduce the damage from sabotage or the amount Widow’s Insight.
Widow’s Insight - has no correlation with damage in fact.
Her counter not working either. Timing is bad. It should work like Elza
I think she must be rebalanced. 2 way of dealing damage: shock and sabotage (now it’s only shock actually)
There are to many op champs so why reduce all abilities to her? Make her more universal... playable!
