How to run it in ranked
- When to run it
- Take this when Black Panther is your win condition and the enemy backline is squishy. Marked-target hits doubling shield gain plus a Dash reset is the difference between a one-pick dive and a full backline wipe.
- How to trigger it
- Mantis marks the target, Black Panther hits it — that connection triggers the shield gain and resets his Dash. The loop only works if you both commit to the same kill target, so call the mark or follow hers.
- What gets you killed
- The 15% speed aura tempts Mantis to shadow the dive. Do not. She holds mid-range where heals still reach the frontline, and Black Panther dives the marked target — if he needs the mark refreshed, he can swing back to her, not the other way around.
