How To Counter Kate Bishop In Marvel Snap
Since all of her Arrows are 1-Cost cards, you can counter Kate Bishop with Killmonger. He could easily get rid of her drops and clear up the board for further attacks. You could also nullify Kate’s effect using Cosmo since they're an On Reveal card.
Is Kate Bishop Worth It In Marvel Snap?
Kate Bishop is not vital in any archetypes. She’s a replicable card that most players can skip unless they seek fun and new ways to play Marvel Snap. Her RNG-based Arrows make her an entertaining drop that touches up the gameplay. However, that’s all for Kate Bishop, and she offers little to no value.
