Here's a quick guide for Black Widow in Marvel Rivals.

As a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, Black Widow specializes in taking out priority targets before they can affect a match, and has long-range precision and mobility to boot. She is skilled in the use of constant pressure from safe positions, the control of sightlines, and the punishment of overextended enemies. Black Widow’s positioning is important, but her awareness and skill are even more so. A good player knows when to shoot, when to move and when to help the team from a new angle.

Sniper Placement

Black Widow's playstyle is predicated on positioning. Look for high ground or long sightlines that give you a good view of objectives and protection from enemy fire. You probably don't want to stay in one place for too long as experienced players will eventually try to flank you. Switch your position to keep your next elimination a surprise, or to not draw too much attention to yourself. Good positioning allows you to dish out steady damage while being hard to kill.

Uniform Headshots

Precision is more highly rewarded by Black Widow than by nearly any other hero. Keep calm and concentrate on accuracy, not speeding up your shots. Watch where the enemy is going, guess where he is going to go and only shoot when you are sure, not as fast as you can. Practicing against moving targets will help you to become much more consistent with your aim in actual matches. A single shot well aimed is often worth more than many missed opportunities.

Dealing With Flankers

Enemy Duelists will often try to take you out before you get a chance to impact the fight. You must be constantly aware of your surroundings and listen for any possible enemies. Don't be aggressive with your mobility options, but rather reserve them for escaping dangerous situations. If a flanker arrives at your position, it’s better to fall back on your team-mates rather than trying to win every duel by yourself. Getting one dangerous elimination is often less important than protecting your life.

Ultimate Timing

Her ult is best in objective fights when the enemy team is clumped up or fighting. Don't use it too early as enemies might still have a movement skill to escape. Wait until your Vanguard goes first or your team starts to apply pressure before engaging in combat. Good timing allows you to do more damage and help your team get big kills.

Summary Points

Black Widow is a rewarding hero for players who are precise, patient and positional. Learn how to be a constant menace and take on any Marvel Rivals game from a distance by mastering sniper placement, increasing your accuracy, protecting yourself from flankers, and when to use your ultimate.
