Night Widow Training

Overview

The Night Widow Training powerset is a career track primary powerset for the Arachnos Widow archetype. It becomes available to the character once they reach Threat Level 24, at which time they can respec to take the powers at their minimum level requirements. Before level 24, the character only has access to the Widow Training powerset. The other career track primary powerset is Fortunata Training. The Night Widow powerset has fewer power choices than the other Soldiers of Arachnos Primary Powersets, placing a greater emphasis on the Widow Training set.
