Role, availability & values
It has 160 hit points, moves at 7.0 speed and deals 9 hand damage. Its movement lets it close on a hero who approaches the Treasure. Other guardians or enemy units near the reward can raise the risk beyond the Panther’s own profile.
Matchup & timing
Defeat it before collecting the Treasure and check whether additional guardians remain. Use support if the Explorer is already damaged, then claim the reward when the area is safe. Avoid leaving the hero within attack range while waiting for reinforcements.
Approach the guardian with a capable hero
The Black Panther has 160 hit points, 7.0 speed, and a nine-damage hand attack. Its mobility lets it close quickly on a hero approaching a Treasure, so avoid sending a weakened Explorer alone. Check for other guardians or enemy troops nearby before engaging; the total danger may exceed the Panther’s own statistics.
Draw the guardian away from nearby threats
The Panther’s seven speed makes it quick to reach an Explorer at a Treasure. Pull it toward a safe area if other guardians are nearby, then finish the fight with a hero that can withstand its attack. Since it is a guardian rather than a normal unit, do not plan to train or upgrade it through ordinary production.
