Weaknesses

  1. Reliance on Combos

    • Her damage and utility are heavily dependent on maintaining high combo counts, making her vulnerable to opponents with evade or block mechanics.
  2. Limited Immunities

    • Black Cat lacks key resistances like Bleed or Poison immunity, requiring careful node and matchup selection.
  3. Skill-Intensive Playstyle

    • Her debuff management and combo juggling require practice to maximize her potential effectively.
  4. Vulnerability to Purify

  4. Pair with Debuff Synergies

    • Champions like Nick Fury, Domino, or Elsa Bloodstone can amplify her effectiveness through synergistic interactions.
  5. Ideal Matchups
