There was some vascilation weather Shuri's weapons would be claws or blasters. I explored both extensively. Constantine Sekeris design the final awesome power gauntlet you see in the film.
Static power claw exploration.
Black Panther: Early Shuri Design
My first take on Shuri back when it was intended to be much more connected to T'Challa's suit. I had vibranium power lines running through her costume to her blasters. It was eventually decided this was too close to the Black Panther, and I proceeded to soften the look with natural cloth and earth tones.
