Black Panther
The Black Panther suit is made of vibranium weave. It makes you faster and springier, and it soaks up damage and stores it as kinetic energy. Press R to let the energy go as a shockwave.
Wearing the suit
The powers only work while you wear all four pieces: Black Panther Mask, Suit, Pants and Boots. The pieces are rare and very durable: their durability multiplier is 114, against 33 for diamond. Together the pieces give 20 armour points (3 helmet, 8 suit, 6 pants, 3 boots) and 2 toughness.
| Effect | Amount |
|---|---|
| Walking speed | +35% |
| Jump strength | +25% |
| Step height | +0.4 blocks, so you climb slabs and stairs without jumping |
| Attack speed | +1.0 |
| Bare-handed hits | +5 damage, with sparks, when your main hand is empty |
Kinetic energy
The suit takes in part of every hit. When you take damage, half of it is stopped. For falls, 80% is stopped. Each point of damage the suit stops adds 3 points to your stored energy, up to a maximum of 100. A purple glow of sparks shows above 40 energy, and anyone near you can see it.
- The charge slowly leaks away if you go 10 seconds without taking a hit.
- Taking the suit off drains it to zero straight away.
- Damage that ignores invulnerability, such as the void, is not absorbed.
- At full charge the game tells you: Kinetic energy at its limit - release it!
- You can also fill the energy by standing on a Charging Pad while you wear the suit. Wakandan merchants in Birnin Zana sell them.
Releasing the energy
Press R to release all stored energy in one burst. You need at least 8 energy, otherwise the game tells you Not enough kinetic energy stored. After a release you wait 1 second before you can use it again.
The burst throws every living thing near you away from you and hurts them. The more energy you stored, the harder and wider it hits.
| Stored energy | Radius | Damage at the centre | Push |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 3.9 blocks | 5.8 | 1.03 |
| 25 | 4.9 blocks | 9.5 | 1.32 |
| 50 | 6.2 blocks | 15.0 | 1.73 |
| 75 | 7.6 blocks | 20.5 | 2.15 |
| 100 | 9.0 blocks | 26.0 | 2.57 |
- Damage drops to half at the edge of the radius.
- Arrows and other projectiles that you did not fire are knocked away too.
- Your own pets are not harmed.
The necklace
Press G to fold the whole suit into a necklace. The Mask, Pants and Boots go inside the Suit, which becomes the Panther Necklace. It can sit in a necklace slot from Curios and works as jewellery until you need it. Press G again to unfold it. You need the helmet, leg and boot slots empty first, or the game says Take off your helmet, leggings and boots first.
