*"I am not surprised to see you here, Falcon. Or you, Summoner."*
—Black Panther (Civil War)[src]

**Black Panther (Civil War)** is a Skill Champion. Being a Skill Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Science Champions, but is weak to Mutant Champions.

## Bio

The King of the reclusive but technologically advanced African nation Wakanda, King T'Challa's birthright is not only to rule but to don the mantle of the Black Panther, a powerful warrior and symbol to his people. T'Challa will aggressively defend his country and citizens against any threat, no matter how menacing.

## Mechanics

Black Panther (Civil War) is a dangerous defensive focused Champion. Don’t try to Stun him with a Parry, because the King never freezes, and if he has an Armor Up Buff, it will reflect the Stun back on your opponent! Black Panther also stores Reflective Charges when damaged, and will reflect the stored damage back to the opponent when landing a hit. Black Panther (Civil War) doesn’t make the first move, he instead prefers to turn his opponent’s strength against them!

## Abilities

**When Attacked**

* 60% chance to gain an Armor Up Buff for 7.5 seconds, granting +*X* Armor Rating.

* Each time Black Panther gains an Armor Up effect he has a 6.5% chance to enter a Reflective state for 7 seconds, storing 1.2% of the damage taken. While in the Reflective state, his suit cannot trigger Armor Up.
* For every *X* damage stored, Black Panther gains a Reflect charge. When successfully hitting the opponent, Black Panther consumes all charges to deal the equivalent damage back to the opponent. Charges last for 7 seconds.

*Dev Notes: Most of Black Panther (Civil War)’s dangerous damage comes from the Reflect charges. If you let him store them up, make sure you don’t get hit! A single hit with a lot of reflected charges can deal a ton of damage.*

**When Stunned**

* Black Panther's Vibranium armor consumes an Armor Up effect to reflect physical Stun effects back to his enemies and purify any Debuffs applied with the Stun effect. This has a 100% chance to Stun the opponent for 2.5 seconds and cannot interrupt Special Attacks.

*Dev Notes: Physical Stun effects here refer to those that are placed on contact, such as a Parry. Stuns placed on Special Attacks like Ronan’s Special 1 won’t be reflected.*

## Signature Ability

**Panther Habit** - Passive

* Black Panther begins the fight with his Reflective state active. Additionally, Black Panther’s Armor passively has a *X*% chance to absorb heavy attack impacts by going Unstoppable for 0.75 seconds, and consuming 1 Armor Up effect(s).

*Dev Notes: Black Panther’s Signature Ability makes him more dangerous defensively. If hit by a Heavy Attack, he goes Unstoppable! This can be a quick way for a defender Black Panther to land a hit and deal all of that stored damage, so watch out!*

## Special Attacks

**Special 1 - King’s Strength**

*The King of Wakanda proves his strength to all that might disbelieve his power.*

* 100% chance to inflict Bleed, dealing *X* Direct Damage over 4 seconds.

*Dev Notes: The animation for this Special Attack is incredibly fast, so watch out and don’t get clipped by it!*

**Special 2 - Power of Ancestors**

*Calling upon the spirits of his ancestors grants strength for swift and powerful blows.*

* Attack increases by up to *X* based on lost Health.

**Special 3 - Wakandan Assault**

*Pinpoint strikes weaken his foes, then T’Challa strikes hard to bring down the enemy of Wakanda.*

* 75% chance to Stun for 3.25 seconds.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### Strengths

* **Reflecting Damage**
	+ Black Panther (Civil War) stores up damage every time he is hit, and then deals that damage back to the opponent when he lands a hit!

* **Stun Reflect**
	+ Black Panther (Civil War) is able to reflect a physical Stun (Stuns made through contact) back to the opponent when he has an Armor Up Buff active.

### Weaknesses

* **Nullify**
	+ Nullify is a quick and easy way to remove the Armor Ups that Black Panther (Civil War) gains, and without these he will not reflect Stuns!

* **Armor Break**
	+ Armor Breaks also remove the Armor Ups that allow Black Panther to reflect Stun.

* **Stun Immunity**
	+ One thing that makes Black Panther (Civil War) so dangerous is his Stun Reflect. Champions like Hercules, Emma Frost, and Bishop (with the correct power from a previous fight) will have no worry of being stunned by his reflection!

## Recommended Masteries

* **Stupify**
	+ Stupify can increase the duration of the reflected Stun, making an accidental Parry by the opponent even more deadly!

* **Unfazed**
	+ Having a chance to go Unstoppable when the opponent evades will make Black Panther an even more dangerous defender.
