Marksmen

Black Widow functions as a precision poke Duelist built around long-range pick pressure, sightline control, and anti-flanker self-peel. Her value comes from punishing exposed targets, forcing cautious rotations, and using Electro-Plasma Explosion to slow and mark enemies for cleanup. She fits poke comps that want sniper pressure.
