Duelist

Flanker

Black Cat functions as a high-mobility dive Duelist built around Fortune management, stealth routes, burst combos, and backline assassination. Her value comes from isolating supports, buying the right relic for the fight, and snowballing Calling Card resets. She fits dive and tempo comps that want flexible pick pressure.

Strengths

Extremely flexible dive toolkit through Fortune purchases and relic selection
Strong backline assassination when Fortune is prepared before engaging
Cat’s Cradle, wall climb, double jump, invisibility, and portal options give excellent route variety
Phantom Pursuit can finish targets while returning her to safety
Claw Whip adds AoE burst and bonus health when enemies are grouped
Turn of Fortune lets her build resource before committing
Calling Card gives strong snowball pressure through target chaining and reset potential
Can adapt into cleanse, reveal, mobility, or anti-mobility utility depending on matchup

Weaknesses

High skill floor because Fortune economy, relic timing, and combo routing must be managed constantly
Low health makes failed dives very punishable
Damage is much weaker when she enters fights without enough Fortune
Relic purchasing can be awkward under pressure
Cat’s Cradle charges are critical and slow to recover if wasted
Calling Card needs line of sight and can be denied by cover, grouping, peel, or defensive ultimates
Struggles into mines, turrets, traps, reveal tools, and anti-dive CC
Less effective when enemies play tightly together and refuse isolated duels
