Tracked numbers for Black Panther
FIX
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Recoverable shield damage bug fixed
Fixed an issue where Black Panther would incorrectly accumulate a damage boost when his recoverable shield was restoring.
Removes unintended damage stacking that occurred while your shield regenerated.
REWORK
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Health redesigned as regenerative shield
Reduce base health from 275 to 150, add 125 regenerative shield.
Your survivability shifts from raw health to shield regeneration - tougher during sustained fights, but riskier when caught by burst.
BUFF
Season 7 - Mar 2026
Subtle StepSpace second jump cooldown removed
Subtle Step's second jump no longer has a cooldown.
You can now chain jumps much faster for more aggressive wall plays and repositioning.
BUFF
Season 7 - Mar 2026
Spinning KickE omnidirectional and improved recovery
Spinning Kick now moves omnidirectionally instead of flat-plane, damage increased from 70 to 75, and Spear TossRMB recovery time reduced from 6 to 5 seconds.
You can now dash-escape in every direction for much better positioning. Faster Spear Toss recovery means better ability flow in fights.
BUFF
Season 6 - Jan 2026
Offense and defense improved
Spear TossRMB damage up from 45 to 50, and Bast's DescentQ now grants 50% damage reduction during startup animation.
Your ultimate is now much safer to cast - the startup armor lets you commit to the ability without getting blasted out.
NERF
Season 4 - Sep 2025
Health and healing reduced
Bonus health from Spirit RendSHIFT cut from 30 to 25, and base health reduced from 300 to 275.
You're now squishier than ever - rely even more heavily on cooldown management and smart retreats.
NERF
Season 3.5 - Aug 2025
Spirit RendSHIFT cooldown increased
Spirit Rend cooldown increased from 8s to 10s after hit-detection fixes.
You'll need to space out your Spirit Rend usage more - the longer cooldown means fewer ability refreshes per fight.
NERF
Season 1 - Jan 2025
Spirit RendSHIFT healing nerfed
Spirit Rend self-healing reduced from 40 to 30 per refresh, and maximum from 120 to 75.
You need more careful positioning since your healing sustain is significantly weaker.
