This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Black Panther's Kinetic Armor should be activated before a close quarters fight, as it will help you survive by reducing your damage taken.
- Be careful using Black Panther's Kinetic Armor near your own and squad member's structures, at will destroy them too, potentially leaving you vulnerable or hurt.
- Black Panther's Kinetic Armor is a good opener to a fight, especially in Zero Build playlists where opponents can't place structures to prevent being damaged.
- Since Black Panther's Kinetic Armor prevents any other items from being used while applied, it's best to run into an opponent right before it goes off to minimize how much damage you take.
- If you lack a long-ranged weapon and are facing a Sniper Rifle, it may be worth it to use Black Panther's Kinetic Armor while trying to find cover. Since it reduces how much damage you take, it could turn a 110-damage sniper shot into an 88 damage shot, possibly preventing you from being eliminated.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- It is based on the ability that Black Panther has with his Vibranium Suit, causing incoming damage to be negated and transferred to kinetic energy. However, in-game, the amount of damage taken, if any, does not cause a bigger shock-wave.
