Fantastic figure. Wish she had the Heroes for Hire keyword and one more bolt but most figures aren't perfect. Actually like the opening 2 damage with Precision Strike so I can use it on her attack value or range (or speed, 6 square swing). Traited Stealth and Shape Change that if successful, she can't be targeted at all for the rest of the turn? Done and done! Oddly enough I think if you use Energy Explosion and the splash targets her but she succeeds on the Shape Change roll, opposing characters wouldn't be able to make her prob her rolls if she attacks that same turn. Ahh, goofy interactions.

EE splash damage doesn't actually target figures, so Shapechange doesn't activate against it. It's one of the best ways around the Stealth + Shapechange combo (besides the always-overpowered Pulse Wave). Also, as her protection only lasts "this turn" and not "until your next turn", I believe it only persists through the attacker's current turn, not during Widow's.

I agree with the rest of your comments! And that fancy Poison is fun if you can pull it off.

She plays very well in Sealed.
Should be almost the same in Constructed with the right team.

Played her in a sealed a few days ago. Carried more weight than Sandman and gave Nova everything he needed to smash a Steve "Nova" Rogers. Excellent dial. At first I was griping about her cost, but you know what? She's worth it. Just play her the right way on the right team.

I played her in a sealed game last night as my tent pole alongside of Rage and Spider-Woman. I've got to say I was really impressed with her and she performed well. Her traited Stealth and Shape Change, coupled with Super Senses and Perplex kept her untouched for the entire first round. In the second match she took damage, but her outwit kept Hazamat from inflicting devastating damage with her penetrating poison.

Yea man, I think she deserves to be an uncommon, but hey I'm not complaining about having multiples of her lol.

I know Feats are old hat nowadays, but dang those are a lot of keywords for Brilliant Tactician!

Decent sculpt, great keywords, Indom, able to ignore hindering for movement and shape change/stealth for a trait is awesome. Having played her several times she is very capable of surviving until late game. Widow's Bite hasn't worked very well for me but it is a neat idea. A good common.

What an amazing piece!
Never lets me down.
In a recent match she was my sole survivor against The Hand (Daredevil, Elektra, 2 Hand Ninjas and Colleen Wing + ATA) and she was the only survivor of the game ;)

I'm feeling full up on Romanoffs in the 75-125 point range- if that's what I'm looking for, I'll probably reach for my AAOU or CATWS boxes. I'd love this figure to death if she had a Rookie or Experienced starting line on click four, costing around 50 points... The 35pt SHIELD-TA Black Widow from the first Avengers movie set remains my "gold standard" for Black Widow clix.

I like this fig, but...she's somehow 1 point more than a flying Black Widow with Asgardian swords, a stop click, and a longer dial?

traited stealth and shape change plus poison you can activate at any time?

switch up a couple things and she would be my ideal catwoman

Hmm, I was just thinking that her latter dial Poison lost its potential with the changes to Poison announced today. Oh well, a few other pieces probably took a hit but it's nice to be able to activate Poison at any point in your turn now.
