Widow Techniques

Widow Training

Arachnos Blood Widows are trained to be vicious assassins, using poisoned darts and claws to dispatch their foes quickly.

 

 

WidowTraining Swipe.png Swipe

Swipe is a fast slash that can cut the target, then poison them with a nerve agent that slows their recovery and movement speed.

WidowTraining Strike.png Strike

Strike is a quick two-stroke slash attack that can deeply wound the target, then poison them with a nerve agent that slows their recovery rate and movement speed.

 

 

 

 

WidowTraining Spin.png Spin

Spin is a 360 degree multiple slash attack that can hit all targets within melee range. The inflicted wounds are poisoned with a nerve agent that slows their recovery rate and movement speed.

WidowTraining Lunge.png Lunge

Lunge is a forward stabbing attack with a long wrist-mounted spike, that inflicts a nasty puncture wound and injects poison into the target.

 

 



Night Widow Training

Arachnos Night Widows are trained in lethal ambush techniques, as well as some psychic abilities. Many of their attacks will deal extra damage if the target is unaware of their presence.

 

 

NightWidowTraining BuildUp.png Build Up

Take a moment to focus one's power, and the next few attacks will hurt more, and be a bit more accurate.

NightWidowTraining SmokeGrenade.png Smoke Grenade

Pull the pin on this little number, then lob it into a group of targets. The resulting thick smoke will reduce their visibility dramatically.

NightWidowTraining Slash.png Slash

This quick claw attack gashes the target, and leaves behind a poison that dramatically slows reflexes.

NightWidowTraining Eviscerate.png Eviscerate

A high backflip, then a double slash with both claws on the way down, and any targets in front of the Night Widow are laid open and poisoned.

 

 



Widow Teamwork

Widow Teamwork

Arachnos Blood Widows are trained to work as part of diverse hit teams, using their tactical abilities to improve the entire team's attack and defense.

Teamwork CombatTrainingDefensive.png Combat Training:Defensive

Kinesthetics and gymnast training allow the Widow to avoid incoming attacks more easily.

Teamwork CombatTrainingOffensive.png Combat Training:Offensive

Tactical training allows the Widow to anticipate target evasive maneuvers or other factors, making attacks more accurate.

Teamwork TacticalTrainingManeuvers.png Tactical Training:Maneuvers

Having trained extensively as a member of a strike team, the Widow can direct teammates into defensive positions or movements, and thus increase overall team defense.

Teamwork IndomitableWill.png Indomitable Will

Extensive training in pain tolerance and mental concentration allow the Widow to shrug off any debilitating effects or psionic attacks, and keep fighting.

Teamwork TacticalTrainingAssault.png Tactical Training: Assault

The Widow is highly trained in team-based tactics, and able to direct the team's attacks to enemy weak points. In addition, this leadership ability can keep the team from being distracted into changing targets.

Teamwork TacticalTrainingLeadership.png Tactical Training: Leadership

The Widow is trained to direct the team to anticipate evasive maneuvers or covering movements. In addition, the increased team awareness allows for Stealth detection, as well as a resistance to visibility reducing countermeasures such as smoke bombs or tear gas. Finally, the Widow's leadership and confidence can offset attempts to frighten or confuse the team members.

Teamwork Foresight.png Foresight

Widows who possess Foresight are resistant to Psionic attacks, as well as Sleep, Hold, Immobilization, Disorient, Confuse and Fear effects. Their precognition becomes clearer in times of duress, providing resistance to all damage types based on their current health, as well. They also have improved Defense, due to being able to see attacks slightly before they actually occur.



Night Widow Teamwork

Night Widow Teamwork

Arachnos Night Widows use their powers of stealth and misdirection to protect the entire team and cause discord among their targets.

FortunataTeamwork MaskPresence.png Mask Presence

This cloaking field allows the Night Widow to fade from view, and be almost impossible to detect until attacking. Even when revealed, the Night Widow has increased defense due to being so hard to see.

WidowTeamwork MentalTraining.png Mental Training

The Night Widow's mental discipline allows the body to move faster, to the point of being highly resistant to Slow effects as well as having faster movement rates.

FortunataTeamwork MindLink.png Mind Link

The Night Widow can link the minds of the entire team for a short time, increasing accuracy of the team, and also defense against incoming attacks and resistance to psionic threats.

 

 

 

 

WidowTeamwork Elude.png Elude

The Night Widow focuses their reflexes and perceptions to the point where they are always 'one step ahead' of nearly any attack, becoming almost impossible to hit, as well as increasing their movement and attack rate. This ability can only be maintained for a short time, and will result in complete exhaustion.


Pool Powers

Fitness Health.png Health Lots of cardio exercise means Deadly Elegance now heals faster and is more alert.
Fitness Stamina.png Stamina

All that exertion has improved Deadly Elegance's muscle circulation and lung capacity. So much for getting tired.
