Marvel Rivals Black Panther Guide (Season 3)
Written by Alec Blackwood
Black Panther is a high-mobility assassin in Marvel Rivals Season 3 who punishes backline supports with relentless combos. If you land your marks and reset correctly, he can wipe healers in seconds. If you miss, he offers almost nothing.
This Black Panther guide (Season 3) explains how to use his kit, when to engage, and how to play smart without feeding.
Black Panther Strengths
Fast combo kills
His dash resets and bonus health make him strong in 1v1s against supports. If you loop correctly, he chains hits non-stop.
Strong mobility
Wall runs and double jumps help him reach high ground or reposition quickly. He can jump into fights or escape with ease.
Backline disruption
He forces healers and supports to reposition. When played right, he controls the fight without needing support.
Black Panther Weaknesses
Completely combo-reliant
Missing your spear or mark ruins everything. If you fail to reset your dash, you have no escape or follow-up.
Bad into tanks
He cannot fight high health targets. Trying to duel tanks wastes your cooldowns and gets you killed.
Easily shut down
Namor, Peni Parker, and Emma all stall or trap him. If you cannot dive cleanly, you must swap heroes.
How His Abilities Work
Spear Throw
Marks on contact or from splash. Used to start your combo.
Spirit Rend
Your main dash. Hitting a marked enemy resets the cooldown and gives you 30 health. Core of the loop.
Panther Pounce
Short melee strike that applies a mark. Works well mid-combo.
Vibranium Mark
Every marked enemy enables resets. You can mark again after removing it with a dash.
Ultimate
Slashes forward, dealing 150 damage and applying marks. Use to start or extend combos.
Passives
Wall running lets you flank from odd angles. When below 100 HP, you gain 20 percent more damage.
How To Play Black Panther (Season 3)
Spear first, then dash through the target.
Turn, spear again, then dash again.
Use Panther Pounce if spear is down... mark again and dash.
You can loop this pattern up to three or four times.
Always end the combo with one dash saved... use it to escape or finish.
Start every dive with a spear. Follow up with Spirit Rend. Once behind them, keep the loop going by marking with spear or pounce again. Save one dash at the end in case you need to leave fast.
Use your ultimate when you want to guarantee a mark or hit multiple targets. It works well after your second or third dash, giving you time to recharge a new spear.
Avoid fighting tanks. Never dive alone if the enemy sees you coming. Look for blind spots, dead angles, or when the healer is distracted.
Advanced Tips
Only commit when the enemy support is out of position.
Save your final dash unless the kill is guaranteed.
Do not rush the combo. Take your time to rotate and re-mark when needed.
Abuse the wall run and double jump to strike from above.
If you get a kill and escape... consider spawn camping their support to delay them.
Final Blurb
Black Panther in Marvel Rivals Season 3 is lethal when looped right and silent when played wrong. You are either deleting healers or feeding cooldowns. This guide shows how to stay on top; loop combos, escape cleanly, and break their backline before they can react.
