Left mouse - Agile Strike.
I usually only hit the mouse button when I'm intending to move or pick up an item, so it's good to have a throw-away skill here that costs no spirit. If I intend to move to a certain spot but an enemy is blocking me, I basically punch them, which seems appropriate for getting in my way.

A - Rolling Grenades.
Great area attack, fun to use once you get the hang of aiming (you just have to be facing your target), good damage. This is my primary attack, the first button I press when enemies approach. Helps that it's available for point investments from an early level.

S - Escape Roll.
Avoid charging enemies and dodge all kinds of attacks. Really don't need a ton of points here since I use it to escape from trouble and also for the Elektra Medallion movement ability regen effects. The short-lived stun is just a bonus.

D - Snap Shot.
This is BW's only ranged attack that doesn't cost any spirit, so this is the key I hit while waiting for my spirit to regenerate. In fact, most fights pretty much just involve me throwing grenades, then shooting my gun about 10 times, then rolling to a better position so I can throw more grenades and shoot my gun again. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Practically never run out of spirit with this strategy.

F - Widow's Kiss.
A lot of people swear by this attack and I can see it does significant damage, but you can't max out points in EVERY ability so this is where I choose to slack. Even with one point, though, it has a decent weakening effect; enemy does 10% less damage for 5 seconds.

G - Acrobatic Assault.
Good for jumping in and out of trouble while doing pretty significant damage. This is Black Widow's most powerful single-impact attack so it's great for bosses.

H - Medkit.
Because dying sucks. Note that I gave her a costume core that buffs medkits.

Right mouse - Twilight Initiative.
She turns into a sparkly vampire. Just kidding! :) She goes invisible for 20 seconds and gets some slick attack and defense bonuses. 10-minute cooldown but this is how I stay alive in boss fights.
