Sue Storm, also known as Invisible Woman, is a powerful strategist with an incredible healing kit and unparalleled utility. Her ability to project force fields, control enemies, and turn invisible makes her one of the most versatile characters in the game. This guide covers Sue’s combos, playstyles, advanced techniques, and tips to help both new and experienced players maximize her potential.

Understanding Sue Storm’s Abilities

Primary Fire: Healing and Damage in One Shot

Sue’s primary fire is a medium-range piercing shot that passes through allies and enemies before returning like a boomerang. It heals teammates while damaging opponents. Positioning is key—standing behind teammates ensures that every shot benefits both allies and foes. Since the shots cannot headshot, focus on maximizing the number of heroes hit rather than precise aiming.

A trick to her primary fire is using it in one-on-one situations. Instead of aiming at the enemy’s body, fire at their feet. The ricochet effect ensures both damage instances hit simultaneously, dealing more consistent burst damage.

Right Click: Force Field Shield

Sue’s right-click deploys a 300 HP shield that continuously heals allies within it. This shield can be repositioned infinitely by spamming right-click and serves as a powerful defensive tool against enemy ultimates. However, recalling the shield puts it on cooldown, and the longer it has taken damage, the longer the cooldown will be.

This shield is excellent for supporting high-mobility teammates like flyers or DPS heroes who need protection. It functions similarly to Doctor Strange’s shield, offering safe positioning for sustained damage. Additionally, placing it strategically can act as a miniature health pack for Sue when she stands near it.

E Ability: Push and Pull Mechanics

Sue’s E ability allows her to either push enemies away or pull them in, dealing light damage. This versatile tool is essential for both offensive and defensive plays. It can interrupt jumping enemies like Hulk and Venom, disrupt melee divers such as Black Panther and Spider-Man, and even reposition enemies to secure eliminations.

This ability also pairs well with Sue’s stealth. Sneaking behind enemy lines and using E to push or pull opponents into choke points creates significant advantages. For instance, disrupting Doctor Strange’s flight can put his abilities on cooldown, saving teammates from devastating ultimates.

Shift Ability: Psionic Vortex

Sue’s Shift ability launches a vortex that damages, slows, and pulls enemies toward its center. This ability persists until it collides with an enemy or terrain.

Throwing it into choke points or objective zones ensures maximum effectiveness. Additionally, it serves as an anti-air tool, knocking down airborne enemies caught within it. The sustained damage over several seconds makes it a crucial zoning tool during fights.

Stealth Mechanic: Tactical Invisibility (Invisible Woman Guide)

Sue can turn invisible in two ways: by double jumping or by staying out of combat for a few seconds. While invisible, she passively heals over time, making it an excellent survival tool when a teammate strategist is down.

Breaking stealth occurs upon taking damage, using abilities, or being affected by crowd control. Since enemy players can still hear footsteps, standing still while invisible can be useful for setting up surprise plays or avoiding detection.

Ultimate: Area-Wide Healing and Team Invisibility

Sue’s ultimate is a massive healing circle that turns all teammates inside it invisible to opponents outside. Enemies attempting to enter the circle are slowed, making them easy targets. This ultimate can single-handedly turn the tide of battle, especially against precision-based heroes like Hawkeye and Hela, who struggle without visible targets.

Proper placement is critical. Unlike some ultimates that allow mobility, Sue’s stays fixed in place. Using it reactively to counter enemy ultimates like Doctor Strange’s or Star-Lord’s ensures team survival. Additionally, activating it after an enemy support ultimate allows her team to sustain healing longer.

Maximizing Sue’s Strengths (Invisible Woman Guide) 

  • Crowd Control Expertise: Sue’s ability to reposition enemies gives her a strategic edge. Unlike other strategists who react to divers, she proactively disrupts opponents before they engage.
  • Stealth and Mobility: Her invisibility allows her to reposition freely, making her difficult to track and eliminating threats before returning to safety.
  • Ultimate Counterplay: Her ultimate is a direct counter to many enemy abilities, effectively neutralizing dangerous situations when timed correctly.

Overcoming Sue’s Weaknesses

  • Healing Management: While her healing is valuable, it relies on her shield and primary fire. If the fight moves away from her shield, healing output diminishes. Effective shield placement and retrieval are crucial for sustained healing.
  • Medium-Range Limitation: Unlike strategists such as Loki or Rocket, who can heal from a distance, Sue must be close to her teammates, increasing her vulnerability.
  • Self-Sustain Challenges: Outside of stealth healing and the shield’s passive effect, Sue has limited self-sustain options. This requires careful positioning and defensive awareness.
