The SIMPLE Way to Carry on Black Panther

[@Awkward2]

The combo with the ult is Spear - Dash - Spear - Dash - Dash - Ult (As you get a Dash reset with your ult). You can also Spear - Dash - Dash - Ult and then continue with another Spear to have more flexibility.

[@KenT-lb9or]

I’ve been doing spear dash *kick* dash spear dash as the combo. This way you are maximizing abilities cooling down. You’ll have your kick back sooner when compared to your combo order. Does this make sense?

[@freshness2569]

​@@KenT-lb9ori leave out kick in most combos, due to it just being a slight slower and use it for escape. Its good if the enemy doesnt ysrget you. Which at low elow it works. But plat and higher most have the game sense to attack you. Make sense ?

[@meltingmello3654]

@@freshness2569 I used to leave out kick sometimes but why only do a double spear dash when you could do a kick and get one more dash out of it, and even an escape dash if you get the dash after the kick? Better not to leave out kick IMO

[@hitalick5999]

@@KenT-lb9orthat combo is fine too but the thing is the kick has a slightly long start up to it so u are very vulnerable to stun abilities during that moment so to maximise speed its better to spear dash spear dash dash then kick to disengage or u can do kick dash then dash to disengage

Great guide as always Awkward! One thing to add to the combo section @2:13. After your kick and dash, before youre using your ultimate you can use your second dash, because the cd will be resetted. So it should be: Spear, Dash, Spear, Dash, Kick, Dash, Dash, Ultimate, Dash. Have a good one!

[@Awkward2]

True.

[@JimtheRacoon]

I’ve been watching your overwatch videos and unranked to gm for a while now, I’m glad you’re teaching people how to play heroes from this game

[@Force2reckonVods]

The best advice here "practice slowly. Fundamentals first, speed will come with time." Basic training advice you get in any sport or martial art, but something people don't think about

[@Hangishta]

7:23 Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Take your time with it at first and it’ll be quicker over time.

[@ScareyBusey]

I struggle with characters where "you are engaging too early" because 3/5 times my team is just obliterated in the 5v6 fight while I'm waiting for an opening.

[@hawk2222]

best move here is for you to watch replays and analyze fight, then you'll see when you engage too early, when too soon and when in time. Do it and you'll start seeing those situations in games and you'll know what to do

[@beholda1258]

An "advanced guide", or even any guide that attempts to advertise itself as useful (every single guide on youtube) CANNOT be constrained entirely to the practice range. If it is, it's little more than an ability breakdown (which is a perfectly fine video) and should be titled as such. This is a great example of a real guide. It spends less than a fifth of its runtime in the practice range and even that time is far more useful and relevant those most other guides because instead of just reading what abilities do it's conveying the principles that will be put into practice in the rest of the video.

[@AutismusPrime246]

Increasing uptime is important on every hero, regardless of your pick. Uptime increases your ability to play with the team, increases damage dealt, blocked or healed, increases INFORMATION (you cannot gain information on enemy team position if you are dead), increases pressure put on enemy team, and it increases your elo gained or lost based on how well you played and whether you won or lost the game. Uptime is one of the most important things in the game.... those with low deaths will always be more valuable than those with high deaths in my opinion; with afk players being the exception, obviously.

[@ElmersBoil]

This should be higher up. Played Overwatch for years hard stuck in plat/diamond but once I realized that your life is the most important thing, I finally managed to escape elo hell and quite quickly. In the context of Rivals, it takes 10 seconds to respawn and an additional 20-30 seconds to make it back to the team fight. If you are low HP or your abilities are on cooldown, it is more valuable to sit behind cover and do nothing for several seconds than it is to go in and die stupidly bc dying is the ultimate form of downtime in this game

[@E-SNSM]

I am required (by myself) to thank you for actually going in depth about bp's playstyle, from the combo bvreakdowns to the natural cover usage as being a melee hero, and even when to engage being the most important thing probably. So a thousand thanks

[@Daupz]

A tip how to make the dashes faster with less reaction time, I see no one mentioning this and you yourself are not doing it. Once your dash is already going you can turn the camera 180 as the dash doesn't curve like the spin, it will go straight no matter the direction you looking, so instead of turning 180 after the dash, you are already looking the opposite direction when the dash is over. Lets call it Daupz dash as it seems this is not a thing yet! 👀

[@Peetskeet]

thx my man! I thought it was similiar to the kick where if u turn u change the trajectory. Good to know

[@CosmicRandom2122]

[@garrendagostino3596]

[@Spades20XX]

What do we gain from saying this?

[@GibsonGaming]

I do this in bronze and the entire enemy team always auto locks on to me soon as I show myself and 1tap me. They play like pro players in my games and it’s impossible to win. The matches are so one sided. This game just feels like OW matchmaking all over again.

[@CosmicRandom2122]

Imo it's cos in lower ranks and casual, most of the time our teamates just aren't applying enough pressure on the enemies which allows them to focus you the moment you show up. This isn't a problem if you're already good and can solo carry but if you're starting out, it's an uphill battle. This applies to basically any hero in the game and even other games like Overwatch. We can still get good but it's just hard. Only other advice I can offer as a fairly new player is just focus on positioning the most and try your best to surprise them so you can get in decent damage before they can focus you and stay moving.

[@Дмитрий-с8е5ы]

​@CosmicRandom2122nah you both just suck currently 70% winrate with panther playing vs grandmasters in plat early in the season. Most people in mobas and hero shooters will be hardstuck low elo crybabies and their ego just cant accept it

[@gues.t]

@@Дмитрий-с8е5ы what are you on about, low elo is actually braindead, and that's why it's hard to rank up. it took me 30 games to go from silver 3 to gold 3, and it took me 10 games to go from gold 3 to plat 3. although it's still low elo, people are much more competent, and so the matches are easier. also, i've been fighting grandmasters in plat since it's a new season, and i still win against them many times. grandmaster means nothing lol

[@ORCXray]

Dont worry dude im in gold, and ill jump the back line mid team fight, and still manage to not get a kill due to other healer turning around/dps/missing a dash😢😅, then you get yelled at for being a terrible dps and tell you to swap off even tho your distracting the healers and a dps for your team to take advantage off of, low key annoying

[@4208342]

Such an informative guide. The most clear and precise out of everyone I’ve seen try to explain Black Panther. Well done

[@SUPERIMIAINI]

Mann as a COD player who started playing rivals something you said resinated with me. Dont trade your life for a kill..I need to de program my mind. Currently using Punisher but I want more going to try Panther using your tips. Thank you 🤙🏽

[@Peetskeet]

Great guide, this is an actual guide. Not lazy read off what the abilities do, you took it a step farther and showed how you implement. Well done as an almost lord bp player. I agree with the not being so fast and rushing combos, taking your time to hit your dash's leads to better results.

[@Hitzel]

@8:30 This concept of performing the combo and disengaging is something that tends to be important in other games. I think it's often very important for ranged characters to stop "going for kills" and start going for "attempts." If that attempt leads to a kill, great! If not, your attempt should be accounting for the safe follow-up that covers your butt when things don't go perfectly. Seems like Black Panther's the kind of character that doesn't let you get away with not having this skill down.

[@SavagePrisonerSP]

You can speed up your dash accuracy/speed practice by going into the practice range, turning off cooldowns, and then practice dashing through, 180, dash, 180 dash, over and over till you get it down.

[@CosmicRandom2122]

Finally a guide that actually explains concepts and gameplay and spends more time out of the practice range tysm

I wanted to learn Black Panther after the nerfs and this is wonderful - still working on my gamesense but getting better

[@joerichard9649]

what do you do if ur playing black panther and they have a peni parker and nobody is taking care of the nest and every target u would pick off is sitting in the nest? or if they a flying target and they are playing as the guardian angel for their supports and nobody is pressuring the flying character to give u an opportunity to go in? Do u just all focus the tank fight the tanks, hopefully burst them, and slowing push up with ur tanks (if u have them). Im plat and im tryna see what i can do in these situations?

[@Bagooosh]

Biggest advice I can give is to get off panther, I say the exact thing about penny or iron man. Best thing to do if the team isn’t taking care of the nest is switching to someone else. Just from what I’ve learned running panther is hopping back to Psylocke when they have a penny.

[@whambulance8607]

Switch to Magik and use the demon to quickly and safely destroy the Peni nest. She's not Panther but she is still a melee hero. I enjoy playing both of them.

[@DjNaste]

If you struggle to 180, increase your sens until you can comfortably 180.

[@jakethewoz]

I think it's better to kick after the first dash (spear-dash-kick-dash), because having a spear in pocket is really helpful for finishing people off. Throwing double spear-dash seems needlessly risky, and you have to wait a long time for your spear cooldowns. Edit- also, you should try to throw in some primary between dash combos, especially if you only have a single target and you're not in much danger. No need to rush and burn the cooldowns as fast as possible
