Arachnos Widows who go the Night Widow route gain the ability to do automatic critical damage with any of their primary melee attacks when attacking from Hidden status. These criticals do one and two-thirds times normal damage. Night Widows become Hidden the same way Stalkers do, by using their primary Mask Presence or Placate power. However, the stealth granted by Mask presence is much less than that granted by Hide, and Night Widows must also use their Smoke Grenade power to reliably approach their target. Fortunatas are also able to perform this type of attack using Mask Presence, however, lacking Placate or Smoke Grenade, they are unable to do so as often.
