Invisible Woman is the only Strategist whose primary fire damages and heals at the same time, and the only one who can make her entire team undetectable. Her boomerang orbs punish anyone standing between her and the fight, Guardian Shield is a movable wall that heals, and Invisible Boundary turns an objective push into a guaranteed win. She rewards players who treat positioning as a weapon.

Role and difficulty

Strategist. Invisible Woman has 275 health. Difficulty Very hard (4/5). She plays at mid-range behind her team, repositioning Guardian Shield between allies, and uses Veiled Step to disengage when divers commit.

Abilities and what they actually do

  • Orb Projection (Normal Attack): Launch a force field that can pierce heroes, flying to maximum distance before returning to Invisible Woman; damaging enemies and healing teammates. Key numbers: DAMAGE — Launch: 30, Return: 15; HEALING — Launch: 50, Return: 40; AMMO — 10; PROJECTILE SPEED — 150m/s.
  • Invisible Boundary (Abilities): Manifest an unseen force field within a chosen area, rendering allies inside undetectable by enemies and providing and enemies inside suffer a persistent effect. Enemies that pass through the field are also. Key numbers: HEALING — 200/s; DURATION — 8s; RANGE — Cylindrical spell field with a 10m radius and 40m height.
  • Guardian Shield (Abilities): Key numbers: HEALING — Ally: 50/s, Self: 20/s; COOLDOWN — 6s (destroyed); SHIELD HEALTH — 200.
  • Psionic Vortex (Abilities): Gather psionic energy and then cast it, upon hitting a target, scene or pressing the Shift key again, it erupts into a psionic vortex, continuously drawing in enemies and causing damage. Key numbers: DAMAGE — 35/s; COOLDOWN — 12s; PROJECTILE SPEED — 80m/s.
  • Force Physics (Abilities): Manipulate psionic energy to push or pull enemies in front of you. Key numbers: DAMAGE — 50; COOLDOWN — 10s.
  • Agile Strike (Abilities): Release a three-hit combo, the third attack strikes enemies in front.
  • Veiled Step (Abilities): Generate a force field at your feet, stepping on it propels you into state. Key numbers: COOLDOWN — 6s.
  • Covert Advance (Abilities): Enter state some time after disengaging from combat and grant yourself. Key numbers: HEALING — 30/s.

Boomerang orbs and the moving shield

Orb Projection throws a psionic orb that flies out and returns, dealing 30 damage on the way out and 15 on the way back while healing 50 and 40 — throw through your own frontline to heal them and damage whoever stands behind. Guardian Shield places a 200-health barrier at any ally’s position, blocks projectiles, heals allies inside at 50 per second and Susan at 20, and can be repositioned freely until it is destroyed. Force Physics pushes or pulls for 50 damage on a 10-second cooldown — the pull is your answer to a diving Duelist. Psionic Vortex deals 35 per second and drags enemies toward its center. Covert Advance turns you invisible after 7 seconds out of combat and regenerates 30 health per second while hidden. Invisible Boundary heals allies inside at 200 per second for 8 seconds, slows enemies, and renders allies undetectable — but enemies inside can still be damaged, so it is a healing and stealth tool, not a shield.

How to play Invisible Woman

  1. Throw orbs through your own team to heal them and damage the enemy behind them in one cast.
  2. Place Guardian Shield on the ally taking fire, and reposition it between fights — it is not a one-and-drop wall.
  3. Save Force Physics pull for the diver who commits to your backline.
  4. Break line of sight for 7 seconds to trigger Covert Advance and regenerate when the fight is lost.
  5. Use Veiled Step’s invisibility double jump to escape when your shield is destroyed.
  6. Cast Invisible Boundary on the objective during a push — 200 healing per second plus undetectability wins the standing contest.

Matchups

Invisible Woman sustains long objective fights and punishes teams that poke from behind their own tanks. Divers who force her shield early and then re-engage win against her, because she has limited self-sustain outside invisibility. Her orbs cannot crit and have limited range, so she loses pure long-range poke duels.

Strengths (per the wiki):

  • Elusive mid-range support capable of turning invisible while healing and shielding her team, and disrupting the enemies.
  • Has slightly higher max health compared to other Strategists.
  • Her passive, Covert Advance, automatically turns her invisible if she hasn’t attacked or damaged for 5.5 seconds.
    • While invisible she also gains a heal-over-time effect.
    • While invisible she becomes immune to auto-target abilities, such as Star-Lord’s Galactic Barrage.
  • Can double jump, which automatically turns her invisible unless she’s taking sustained damage.
  • Her primary fire, Orb Projection, quickly shoots small energy spheres that deal damage to enemies and heals allies.
    • This ability has piercing properties and will affect all heroes within range.
    • The orbs will return to Invisible Woman once reaching maximum distance, dealing damage and healing on the way back.
    • This attack is not affected by damage falloff.
    • She can reload primary fire without breaking her invisibility.
  • Her secondary fire, Guardian Shield, creates a medium-sized energy barrier directly in front of the selected ally. Healing the ally and slowing enemies in the range in ~25%.
    • Guardian Shield has 250 health and has infinite duration until destroyed or reclaimed.
  • ** If reclaimed, the shield’s health will quickly replenish if previously damaged.
  • *** This ability can be reclaimed without breaking her invisibility.
  • ** Pressing the reclaim button while no shield is on the field will place it in front of Invisible Woman.
    • Allies near the shield also gain a healing-over-time effect.
    • Allies standing behind the shield count as if they’re out of the opponent line of sight, meaning that tracking abilities will not target them, such as Scarlet Witch’s Chaos Control and Cloak’s Darkforce Cloak. This also includes Ultimate abilities, most notably Star-Lord’s Galactic Barrage.
    • Enemies that pass through the shield are slowed by 30%.
  • Psionic Vortex is a projectile that creates an energy field that pulls enemies in while dealing continuous damage and slowing them by 50%.
    • The vortex will form if it hits an enemy or the scenario, but the player can press the button again after firing the projectile to erupt the vortex earlier.
    • The slow is only applied if enemies are near the center of the vortex.
    • If this ability hits a flying enemy, they’ll fall down to the ground and can’t fly upwards until they leave the vortex’s radius.
  • Force Physics allows Invisible Woman to push or pull opponents through psionic energy while dealing damage.
    • Once activated, the player can press different inputs to push or pull.
  • Her Ultimate, Invisible Boundary, creates a large force field that renders all allies inside invisible to enemies.
    • While inside the force field allies gain a large healing-over-time effect.
    • Enemies that pass through the field will be slowed by 55%, and become invisible to their own teammates that are outside of the force field.
  • ** Afterimages of the enemies can be briefly seen by their own team outside the force field.
    • This ability is a great counter to certain Ultimates, such as Star-Lord’s Galactic Barrage (as he won’t be able to auto-target if outside the force field) and Hawkeye’s Hunter’s Sight (as the afterimages of his targets won’t appear inside the force field).
  • Limited self-sustain, as outside of her Ultimate, she can only heal herself while invisible or through Guardian Shield.
    • In addition, any damage taken will break the invisibility.
  • Very reliant on positioning to maximize damage and healing, as her primary fire has relatively low range.
    • In addition, her primary fire cannot deal critical hits.
  • Allies inside the Invisible Boundary can still be damaged by the enemy team.

Weaknesses (per the wiki):

  • Limited self-sustain, as outside of her Ultimate, she can only heal herself while invisible or through Guardian Shield.
    • In addition, any damage taken will break the invisibility.
  • Very reliant on positioning to maximize damage and healing, as her primary fire has relatively low range.
    • In addition, her primary fire cannot deal critical hits.

Team-ups

  • United Siblings (with Human Torch, Season 9.0: The Mystery of Thebes): Generate a Flame Shield for a targeted ally that blocks incoming damage while providing a Continuous Healing aura to everyone nearby. Projectiles from teammates shot through the Flame Shield receive a Damage Boost. Enemies that pass through the shield are Slowed Enhanced: When teaming up with Human Torch, the Flame Shield boasts a larger radius and heavily increased shield value.
  • First Family (with Mister Fantastic, Season 9.0: The Mystery of Thebes): Invisible Woman and surrounding allies enter Invisible state, gaining healing and a Speed Boost. The effect ends if they take damage or the duration expires. Disengaging from combat for a duration will reenter the Invisible state. Enhanced: When teaming up with Mister Fantastic, the healing and Speed Boost effects are enhanced, and the Invisible state duration is increased.

Common mistakes

  • Placing Guardian Shield once and leaving it — its value is the repositioning
  • Throwing orbs at enemies when a clustered ally would spread more healing
  • Using Invisible Boundary as a defensive shield — allies inside still take damage
  • Fighting at max range, where the boomerang orbs lose value
  • Standing in the open after Guardian Shield breaks instead of using Veiled Step
