Gear


Slot 1 – Ebony Blade (Black Panther Unique) or Knives of Zawavari (Black Panther Unique). The Knives are a no brainer here, mainly because we get +Melee damage, Crit, tons of Crit damage, another bleed on crit (chance), +1 Speed (and we love attack speed!), Points to Enervating and Cryo. yay!

Slot 2 – Thrice-Blessed Armor (Black Panther Unique) - A pretty awesome chest slot. Health, dodge, chance on dodge to do damage, and a +to all of our amazing passives and Jungle Snare? Oh and our summons? Heck yes.

Slot 3 – Blessed Belt of the Panther God (Black Panther Unique) - Movement speed, projectile evasion (wow), dodge, health and +to Jungle Snare (potentially quite a bit). Slot 4 – Boots of the Coal Tiger (Black Panther Unique) kind of suck. I would really suggest getting a Hand Assassin Ninja Tabi instead (all hero Unique).

Slot 5 – Komoyo Card Eyepiece (Black Panther Unique) - +2 to all powers (awesome), Crit and crit damage, Spirit, RiF/SiF. My issue with the Eyepiece is that it only gives us Physical damage. The new BP Unique is really for summons, so I wouldn't suggest it either. We're likely stuck with the Eyepiece.

Artifacts


Advanced Super Soldier Serum - tankiness
Advanced Meta Sensory Array - gets our skills a bit higher, which is good
Hand of Doom or Gem of the Kursed
Advanced Kung Fu (tankiness, Dodge, +to melee-but doesn't help our traps) Oculus Oroboros gives you sustain if you need it

Other


Blessings: Helas most likely. We have loads of crit.

Costume: +1 Fighting +1 Energy. Or health and +1 Energy. Speed also helps us a bit if you want more attack speed and don't want a Meta.

Legendary: Cosmic Control Rod - +2 Energy gives us the full benefit of Energy damage from the stat. Health on kill which is awesome and keeps us going, tons of energy damage.

Insignia: O'Gradysaurus Rex, which I'm never going to stop using as a name.

Medallion: Pyro for Energy damage, Doom is really nice with its Duration (Snare/Freeze). Up to you.

Relics: Take Lemurias and you don't need an Oculus, but otherwise take any +damage one.

Leveling Strategy


We acquire our Enervating Slash and Jungle Snare early, which is all we need. Really just keep putting points into his relevant passives and use those abilities. Later on you'll get your summons (at least 1 point them) and Mobile Mine Field. You'll have a ton of AoE, and feel like a boss! You likely won't have to use Cry-Knife until later, honestly.

Playstyle


A. Roll around until you find something worth your Kingly epic time.

B. Make Game of Thrones or other fantasy references as appropriate regarding your kingship to your computer. Black Panther will respond by being the most blandly dressed King since Aragorn:

C. Drop a Jungle Snare for damages/vulernability

D. Toss a Cry-Dagger to freeze and let them sit there helplessly and take damage.

E. As your bleeds and snare tick, laugh in a kingly fashion.

F. After the loot is acquired, consider asking yourself why the most technologically advanced nation in the

world has a King who runs around in a spandex costume with knives (Okay I get its Vibranium or whatever

but it still makes no sense).
