Black Widow

A snowballing spy: stack Ability Upgrades, plant Time Bombs – the longer the game, the harder every hit.

If after roll 1 5× Widow for Widow's Bite! are reachable. Keep 5× Widow and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Widow's Bite! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Grapple. Widow's Bite! deals a documented 10 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

• At 5+ upgrades in play: +1 on ALL attacks; Grapple/Gauntlets scale per upgrade
• Covert Ops (start: 3): every turn put an upgrade into play from hand or dig for one
• Agility halves hits on 1–3 – two tokens can cancel everything

• Starts soft: early on upgrades are missing and Baton Strike 5–7 is everything
• Sabotage prevents only ~1 on average

Requirement: 3× ⚡ Batons · Chance: 98.4%

Damage: 5 damage

Sabotage: 3 dice – prevent 1 per espionage (~1), counter 1 per baton, a widow pair plants a Time Bomb. With 4+ upgrades you may reroll these dice. The real protection is Agility.
