Invisible Woman: A Unique Support Role
As a Strategist class character, she’s categorized into a more complex category of support which gives more variety of gameplay.

Versatile Abilities
Invisible Woman can heal, inflict damage, push or pull enemies, slow and also make shields while having the power of invisibility. With these varied forms of skill sets her flexibility on the battlefield is a strong one which requires planning and strategy. She’s set to stand out from other forms of typical support players. She’s a high skill floor making her very difficult to play initially due to the complex mechanics of what she brings.
Mastering the Gameplay with Invisible Woman
Playing Invisible Woman effectively requires mastering the specific details about each of her abilities. It also creates opportunity for planning and strategy to work to her benefit.
Primary Fire: Projectile Mastery
She uses a projectile that passes through allies and enemies then loops back dealing two instances of damage with where you aim impacting speed. You can ricochet your shots off surfaces to deal a higher burst rate while trying to line up enemies or heal allies and cause them to gain both at the same time. Aiming is more strategic here than anything because a character standing in the middle of you and a desired target might make things more difficult but if planned out then can make the situation go to your benefit.
Using Other Abilities
Her other abilities help pin enemies and alter their path by using her "Psionic Vortex" a stalling orb. With "Force Physics" she can manipulate how enemies travel as well which is like Jeff the Land Shark’s ultimate attack. Using a shield for allies to protect from all kinds of damage will help in team situations as well as invisibility where allies can be covered from all attacks.
