How to play Black Panther
Overview & game plan
A counter-puncher: incoming damage charges Kinetic Energy – hitting him makes him stronger.
If after roll 1 5× Panther for Wakanda Forever! are reachable. Keep 5× Panther and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Wakanda Forever! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Meteoric Punch. Wakanda Forever! deals a documented 11 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.
Strengths
- Energy Absorption (passive): EVERY damage taken (except ultimates) grants 1 Kinetic Energy
- Vibranium Suit blocks 3 damage – reliable, any time
- At 8 Kinetic Energy: 5 undefendable + 2 CP + 2 cards for free
Weaknesses
- Small base damage (Vibranium Claws 4–6) – he needs the charge
- Against opponents who do NOT attack (setup heroes) he charges slowly

How you defend
Bashenga's Honor: 3 dice – 0 prevention, but 1 counter per slash (~1.5). Real protection comes from the Vibranium Suit (3) – and small damage feeds the charge anyway.
