  • Intercepting the Opponent or striking them while they are recovering from a Heavy or Special Attack grants an additional Cruelty Passive.
  • While striking into an Auto-Block, Panther is Immune to Stun.

Dev Notes: Black Panther’s Cruelty is going to be an important part of every fight, so make sure to stay on the aggressive side so you can keep 15 floating the whole fight!

Panther's Might - Inactive Charges

  • Dashing back after a non-combo ending attack will grant 1 Indefinite Inactive Panther’s Might Charge. Max: 5 Charges.
  • Inactive Panthers Might Charges cannot be gained while Panther’s Might is Active.

Dev Notes: Instead of your regular 5-hit combo, try dashing out early after 2-3 hits to gain 1 charge. Then, dash back in for a draft-back and race to 5 charges! More charges = more duration spent in Panther’s Might.

Panther's Might

  • Landing a Heavy Attack while at 3 or more Inactive charges grants Panther’s Might for 3 seconds per charge consumed.
  • Upon Activation: Gain 1 Precision Passive for each Personal Cruelty Passive active, each increasing Critical Rating by +X.

  • Intercepting the Opponent or hitting an Opponent recovering from a Heavy or Special Attack pauses Panther’s Might for 5 seconds.
  • Pause all Personal Cruelty Passives.
  • While active:
    • Bleed Debuffs gain +8% Duration for each Personal Cruelty Active on Black Panther.
    • Attacks reduce opponent Defensive Ability Accuracy by 50%.

Dev Notes: Defenders aren’t going to like Black Panther when he’s angry. Punish the opponent’s Special Attacks, and land Intercepts wherever you can to stay in Panther’s Might for as long as possible!

Signature Ability[]

For Wakanda! - Passive

  • Intercepting the Opponent has 100% Chance to Purify one of each Debuff from Black Panther. Cooldown X seconds.

Dev Notes: Pair the Bleed Defensive Ability Accuracy with Panther’s Might and you’re going to be keeping your opponent’s Abilities in check for the whole fight! On Demand Shrug off for one of each Debuff on him is also a great tool to help with any fight.

Special Attacks[]

  • Intercepting the opponent: Each hit of this Attack is a Guaranteed Critical Hit and apply an additional Bleed Debuff.

Special 1 - Roundhouse
A series of tactical strikes.

  • Gain 3 Inactive Panther’s Might charges. Then consume all charges and enter Panther’s Might for 5 seconds per charge consumed.

Dev Notes: For those fights where you can’t seem to land a Heavy Attack, or the opponent is Stun Immune, you can use the Special 1 as an alternative to extend Panther’s Might!

Special 2 - Panther Strike
The rage of Black Panther is released with calculated prowess.

  • This Attack gains +X Attack Rating for each Personal Cruelty Active on Black Panther.

Dev Notes: Intercept with the SP2 during Panther’s Might and you’re going to be dealing a TON of Bleed damage.

Special 3 - For Wakanda!
Calling upon his sacred powers as chieftain of the Wakandan Panther Clan, T'Challa unleashes a flurry of attacks.

  • Inflicts up to 5 Bleed Debuffs, with each having a 100% Chance to Apply, and dealing X Direct Damage over 15 seconds.

  • Refresh the Duration of Panther’s Might.

Dev Notes: In fights where you want to maintain Panther’s Might the whole fight – throw a Special 3 instead of a Special 1 or 2. Or, if you need to keep your opponent’s Defensive Ability Accuracy down, land a Special 3 and put your mind at ease.

  • Debuff Shrug
    • With his Signature Ability Black Panther can shrug off any Debuffs a defender might throw his way.

  • Liquid Courage and Double Edge
    • Shrugging off Debuffs is a thing of ease with Black Panther’s Signature Ability. Juice out even more damage with Liquid Courage and Double Edge!
