How to Play Black Panther in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips
- Play Hit-and-Run: As a duelist, Black Panther thrives on agile, fast-paced combat. Avoid prolonged engagements—strike quickly, use your mobility to disengage, and then look for the next opportunity.
- Master His Mobility: Use Subtle Step to run on walls and reposition quickly. This helps you dodge enemy fire and set up flanking attacks.
- Capitalize on Vibranium Marks: Many of Black Panther's abilities (like Spear Toss and Spinning Kick) attach Vibranium Marks to enemies. Use these marks to trigger bonus health or refresh abilities—timing your attacks around these effects is essential.
- Use Sprint Rend Effectively: Lunge forward with Sprint Rend to quickly engage marked enemies. This ability not only deals burst damage but can also reset its cooldown when hitting a target with a Vibranium Mark.
- Engage with Bast's Descent: His ultimate, Bast's Descent, allows you to pounce forward and hit multiple targets. Use it both to initiate fights and to follow up on grouped enemies for high-impact plays.
