- Genius Bruiser: Three star Black Widow is a hell of a bruiser. Her moves are completely changed, but in this form she's an exceptional powerhouse. Her purple will now convert chosen tiles to green, witch, in addition to some controlled board clearing by placing them in the right spots, converts purple to green AP to power her sniper rifle, an exceptionally powerful and expensive ability that deals an absurd amount of damage and clears a high number of tiles on the board, and at max damage deals damage to the full enemy team with each shot. Her red ability to pull out a pistol and clear small parts of the board is very useful, even if it's overshadowed by her sniper rifle ability, as it can take out key targets, such as dangerous enemy owned countdown or defense tiles, without using a turn as the hood's twin pistols would.
