Marvel Rivals: How To Play as Black Widow

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Black Widow is one of the most intriguing characters to play in Marvel Super War. Her unique blend of ranged and melee abilities makes her a formidable force on the battlefield.

In the Marvel Rivals game, Black Widow stands out as a versatile hero, masterfully combining deadly accuracy with swift maneuvers in both long-range marksmanship and up-close fighting.

You don’t want to mess with her, whether sniping enemies from a distance or using her batons in close combat.

If you want to up your game and make the most of her skills, this article has you covered.

How To Play as Black Widow

If you need a character who is excellent at both long-distance shooting and close-up fights, Black Widow from the Marvel Rivals series could be an excellent choice for you.

She’s adept at eliminating foes from afar using her Red Room Rifle, yet equally agile and capable of holding her own in close combat with her Widow’s Bite Batons.

Mastering Black Widow might take some time, but she’s unstoppable once you’ve got her down.

Here’s how you can play as Black Widow and get the best out of her sniping and quick attacks:

1. Make Every Long Shot Count with the Red Room Rifle

Her ability to dish out serious damage from afar makes Black Widow so strong.

The Red Room Rifle is your go-to for long-distance combat.

Thanks to her Straight Shooter ability, it shoots high-energy rounds that deal major damage.

To really utilize this skill effectively, aim for accurate shots, particularly headshots, as they inflict the greatest amount of damage.

Black Widow thrives in situations where she’s up high, such as rooftops, allowing her to stealthily survey the scene and eliminate foes effectively. It’s essential that she identifies the optimal elevated position for maximum advantage.

Utilizing the Fleet Foot skill, Black Widow can swiftly move across and leap to higher locations, allowing you to navigate to raised areas and keep a handle on the battlefield’s situation.

Once you’re in place, target enemy Duelists and Strategists susceptible to sniper shots.

Whenever I pull the trigger on the Red Room Rifle, it leaves a trail of red light, making my position evident to any adversaries.

Reposition often to avoid being locked in as a target.

2. When They Get Close, Give It Your All

Black Widow excels at fighting from a distance, but she truly demonstrates her adaptability during close-quarter encounters.

She uses her Widow’s Bite Batons to send fast electric jolts that keep enemies at bay.

These sticks prove quite handy in situations where adversaries get too close, or when you find yourself confined in narrow environments.

Besides the batons, Edge Dancer works well for offense and defense.

This ability allows Black Widow to execute a spinning kick that sends enemies flying.

Upon landing, another grappling hook is activated, propelling her swiftly towards the target for an additional attack.

Even up close, Black Widow doesn’t back down, thanks to her close-range skills.

With the Edge Dancer kick, you can push opponents back or flee, but if that tactic fails, Fleet Foot will aid in your swift escape and reloading.

3. How to Make the Plasma Blast Work for You

If you play it smart, Black Widow’s Electro-Plasma Explosion ultimate can flip the game.

This ability turns her Red Room Rifle into a potent electro-plasma cannon. It blasts enemies nearby and leaves a plasma field that slows them down by 80%.

To maximize the potential of this ultimate, aim to use it when enemies are grouped together or when they’re engaged in battle.

The explosion causes significant harm, while the plasma makes foes easier to hit by slowing them down, essentially turning them into stationary targets. Be mindful of when to activate this skill for optimal results.

A fully-charged shot deals maximum damage and releases plasma particles, however, taking too long to charge puts Black Widow at risk.

In high-pressure situations, taking a swift, lighter shot could help reduce the intensity of the pressure.

In team battles, the Electro-Plasma Explosion can disrupt enemy formations, providing a chance for your team to push forward or eliminate already weakened adversaries.

4. Make It a Team with Hawkeye

Black Widow synergizes superbly with Hawkeye, particularly when employing their Super Sensitive Tracking skill.

This collaborative ability empowers Black Widow to spot and attack the echoes of her enemies, further enhancing her lethal marksmanship.

This synergy makes sure you can take down targets sneaking around or trying to flank.

Boosting her shots by 20% through Supersensory Hunt significantly amplifies their deadly potency, particularly when combined with her additional skills.

When you’re controlling Hawkeye, ensure you strategically place yourself to fully utilize his sniping abilities.

With this combination, you can attack enemies from a distance while remaining concealed, consistently annoying the enemy team by subjecting them to persistent long-range assaults.

5. Use the Batons to Handle Close Calls

When Black Widow’s sniper skills aren’t enough, or if you find yourself in hand-to-hand fighting at close range, the Widow’s Bite Batons prove to be extremely useful.

This skill performs effectively in tight quarters against adversaries, enabling you to protect yourself as you maneuver or hold out until reinforcements arrive.

In situations where Black Widow can’t absorb much punishment, it’s essential to use your batons for swift attacks or final blows against feeble adversaries.

As an Edge Dancer wielder, I can masterfully manipulate the ebb and flow of battle, be it dishing out damage or maintaining a safe distance to dodge attacks and survive.
