MANTIS TIP
So I always do this but I realised I didn't mention it in the video. When you ult with mantis. Look around you. Spin like a bayblade and damage boost everyone you see. Don't bother healing them. Your ultimate would anyway
@@Xeptha great tip
That's what I do! It's fun.
Mantis is so fun to play, she's such a versatile character. Main healer, secondary healer, pseudo dps, she does it all. Since swapping to her this last weekend, I have been MVP of literally every single game I've won, and SVP of the majority of games I've lost.
When you play her are you getting many kills or are you mainly doing healing?
@@baconbefore1am It's pretty balanced, but it can vary depending on the team comp. If I'm stuck with say 4 dps and 1 tank then I am primarily focused on healing. I'll still do damage as any headshots let me heal even more teammates, but I won't focus as much on getting my own kills or damage boosting teammates because I need those resources for heals. If I have a 2nd healer but only 1 tank and 3 dps I like to use more damage boosts on teammates to help them frag out. If the team is an even 2-2-2 then I will still heal and boost teammates, but I will also play more aggressive and take more opportunities to secure kills as they're presented.
She may be a 1 star difficulty, but to play her optimally you need to be constantly multi-tasking and adapting to situations as they arise. Teamates are low health? Fall back to cover and spam heals. Teamates are full and ahead of you? Give them damage boost and maybe a heal to sustain them through a fight, then damage boost yourself and push with them. See a low health enemy isolated or a tank diving deep into your team? Deal damage and try to land a sleep at a critical moment to finish them off before they can use abilities to escape.
@@zacbranch2083 i need ppl like u on my team 😭 i think most of the ppl who play this game have no game sense or hero shooter knowledge lol solo queuing sucks
@@xy9n It can definitely be pretty brutal, and unfortuately sometimes you just get skill diff-ed even in low ranks. When I'm playing solo, I try to keep a casual mindset with this game, since at the end of the day there's only so much you can do. There's other games you can solo queue and carry on easier, hero shooters are not one of them.
@@zacbranch2083 lol yeah but it’s also apart of the fun for me because u never know what your getting into and it makes your good games even better
She has no damage fall off. Also, enemies can shoot the stun illusion to free their ally early.
@@thestratilosopher42 do you know if this is the same for luna freezing someone?
@@curbysworld1764 nah it's not
I did not know this. Thank you for telling me 👊🏿
@KennyJordana Yes it is... They can shoot the frozen enemy, and if the enemy's HP bar hits 0, the frozen condition ends early. ... ...
Great vid, and it's good to see that it's not just me getting stuck with seemingly mentally disabled people on my team in solo queue
Definitely not just you. Did you see that iron man like wdf bro 😂
@@Xeptha its insane how many gold players ive run into who are either learning their character in comp or just dont comprehend concepts they really should before ever hopping into ranked.
Sleep -> 2 auto attacks -> sleep will take effect -> line up a headshot -> anything other than tank is dead
I've used Mantis Sleep ability to usually put asleep a melee that is going after me to make a quick escape. LOL Mantis is a pretty fast, you can lose them easy as long as someone doesn't wake them up.
Oh nice! i did this in the gameplay footage to a wolverine that was on me ! :D funny as hell
IF lmao, so many teammates think theyre peeling for me before getting us both killed because they dont understand the sleep is interrupted by damage(inversely it seems many enemies dont understand they can break their allies out early by destroying a very fragile mantis illusion near the slept target)
@clarencewalters338 It's true, usually works when your alone with the melee. If it's in a chaotic brawl usually someone hits them awake. Besides it doesn't last that long.
Stun the Iron Fist, book it to my tanks for help 😅👍
Hey i appreciate the quick talking and straight to the info
Thanks I'm trying to improve on it more. Keep the rambling and talking to the end of the video and if people want to sit and watch it they can :)
Something also not mentioned is if you hit your boost and spore slumber @ the same time, it will cancel your boost animation. Then you can get two headies in before they awake, and a third one as soon as they wake up. Then they wake up again in their spawn. Luna’s freeze might be better because you cant cancel hers out by shooting the astral projection of Mantis. Luna also can get 2 headies in while they’re frozen, and the third one once they thaw.
A basic guide followed by gameplay is actually a brilliant format. Saves me having to search for another video!
As a mantis you should always have the damage boost applied to you. I steadily have it applied for continuous heals and dps boost. If you hit headshots there’s no shortage of orbs and even if that’s just an occasional headshot here and there. Staying alive is super important for max value so it’s worth the orb on yourself
Save your stun for when enemy DPS goes for your backline. Give yourself a damage boost, stun, and go for headshots. You can melt most DPS enemies
Whenever you sleep someone you can do damage before the purple mantis takes full form and it wont wake them. This way you can do damage and then only need a head shot. Also damage boosting yourself will give you a self heal the same length as it is on your bar for teamates
Mantis on strategist and thor/magneto for Vanguard has got me to gold 1 thus far with trajectory for platinum. Mantis is by far my favorite character mechanically to play because despite being simple her skill ceiling is insanely high, but on the other hand the constant damage and heal boost she can dish out ESPECIALLY if she's accurate make her insanely deadly. Also her sleep is so impeccable, if you dont get killed so fast you cant react(Psylocke) you can sleep any diver, pop a damage boost, ping them to your team mates and line up headshots on the poor sod before lighting them up like a christmas tree. She's also great for BEING carried if you appropriately pocket good teammates
agree w all you said, just add namor to your arsenal too. trust me hes sooo underrated atm
@Xeptha namor is a pocket pick for me if Moonknight is banned or chosen. Besides I prefer Vanguard and support which is usually in higher demand and shorter in supply.
She is such a great pick for solo queue! Especially if ur team decides to go dps only…
feel the same about luna too tbh, but mantis does more dmg and luna more healing.
I mean if ya can’t beat em join em, and make it a dps party
Yeah..... But then I, the only healer gets jumped by venom, iron fist and peni parker
Main tip: You should have your damage boost on at all times
whilst id say yes. theres been times where the monkeys in my team are trying their best to die xD
The number 1 mantis player doesn’t boost himself
It's because it's always best to dmg boost someone who's built to do dmg then yourself. However if you don't need to heal anyone and you've boosted people. Youre not in danger and U got leafs at your disposal then sure 🤷♂️ I mainly use the self boost to start my speed boost and health regeneration
@@mooodybluez you dont really need it. just hit your shots
@mooodybluez Not really, your focus should be your teammates, but when you get forced into a 1v1, yes absolutely use the personal damage boost
Stun is quite a broken mechanic in a lot of games. As soon as I found out she got a stun ability, i knew it would be easy to play her. Just got the game 2 days ago and only been playing Mantis. I gotta start learning about the other characters though. Great guide!
definitely give namor a go. im going to edit a viedo and upload another one soon. ones already out on my channel. i promise you youll climb amazingly w namor for dps. oh and btw ... THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTSSS !!! !:D I APPRECIATE IT
1:55 How do you get the healing and damage boost meters on the right of the screen?
i see you play on controller and you have pretty good aim. my struggle with mantis is that my aim is all over the place, what are your controller settings? i’d love to know!
haha well lets start with the basics.
firstly my controller isnt a normal controller i have one with extended analogue and buttons on the back. the extended analogue supposedly helps with the aiming too.
do not turn off your aim assist and check if theres a setting for aim acceleration. if so. turn it off. apart from that whats ur issue when u try to aim at someone. do you aim a bit before u lock onto them or do you overshoot it?
@@Xepthai feel like my biggest issue is overshooting for sure, i feel like i tilt my stick even a tiny bit (especially during close combat when im trying to dodge projectiles while actively shooting them at my opponent) my reticle overshoots by a mile. it’s very hard to juggle when trying to jump, shoot, move and aim 😅
I had good players in my team in compi, i am always happy to play for the team and i went for healer, gheeez, i got 40 assist, i had hella, thor and hawkeye, absolute carnage on front line , kept the boost on them !
good mindset to have, issue is in low elo. everyone want to dps without doing damage per second but doing dying per second. its sad but in higher elo. youll love supporting even more
great tips!!!
btw when u put someone to sleep, if you immediately hit them they can be stunned for a bit longer I believe
ima be honest. never heard of this one before. will need to test it out
@@Xeptha i think it is ive just been noticing something like this after playing with her for a while
I did it multiple times tonight, youre right
Truly love her kit she’s a great healer in my opinion her damage boost is amazing I can take down hulk or doctor strange in seconds if you aim properly and her damage mixed with your teammates is insane
The moment I figured out she has no damage fall-off was when she became my main healer❤ and the fact that the moment she damaged boost herself she immediately receives health? Oh yeah baby give me mantis 🤗
Please explain how jeff got MVP that first game.....
you can get off 2 headshots before the enemies wakes up
Mantis is my main. In low rank you will be mvp every game. You have high kills, high assist potential and I'd say medium healing. I treat her more like a off healer. Here's the thing... mantis sleep is key. She's the only healer that can destroy a duelist or healer within seconds. Tanks you literally use as mana batteries. Her ult is also the best healer ult. You want to always use it as a counter to other ults like groot, psylock, magik, MAINLY HELA AND STAR LORD, etc OR offensively with Scarlet Witch. If you have a scarlet just coordinate with her to ult together. If she can't die she will kill at least half of the other team. Low rank you can snipe healers. My favorite fight are mantis v mantis because it usually comes down to who has better aim. Another tip. In 1v1 fish for a headshot once it lands do a bodyshot then immediately sleep as this video shows. Any healer or duelist is guaranteed dead with another headshot.
absolutely fucking adore mantis. here's a step by step tldr guide by someone who has 4 hours on mantis in casual:
>aim in general direction of enemies
>spam left click
>see teammate is critical
>spam right click
>don't forget to move a lot
>see u have ult
>press ult, hold strafe in any direction, follow step 1 and 2
>end up with the highest dmg and heals, ezpz mvp
edit: bonus tip, beg someone to pick adam warlock, die in the middle of 5 people, cocoon behind them, profit
Another Tip: If you don’t have ur ultimate half way or you just want to heal STAY HIGH GROUND, she’s a bit like hela (but she’s better lol)
Nope. Don't do this. Do not isolate yourself from your team. They'll dive and kill you😂 in higher ranks
1) you can view exact numbers for all abilities on the official marvel rivals site, so you're not guessing at stuff like damage falloff (she has none) and sleep duration (it's 3.5s)
2) when talking about skills you should use the actual skill names, saying 'use b then rb" doesn't mean much if the viewer is a PC or Playstation player
3) dunno what's up with your background music but it's ranodmly stopping / staying off for sometimes quite long lengths of time lol
other than that, good stuff, Mantis is insanely good
1. Thank you will look into it 👍
2. I'm trying, believe me 😂😅 before pressing req I said I'm going to refer to them as names but dam I keep messing up
3. It's to make the viewer focus on what I'm saying. It's intentional. If there's a joke or something important.
I notice my team almost always wins if we have more than one healer. But usually it's only me and no one protects me or helps me. I'm not fully blaming them as I know I could be more accurate, but I do try and heal and I stay with my team to heal them and help. But it feels like they dont wanna help me and the second I die I notice they all instantly die too cause they don't get that heal boost.
But in the rare instance I do have people protect me we work so well together.
try using coms and asking for it. it sounds like youre in low elo where everyone is just super selfish and just wants to dps non stop. say 2 2 2 or no heals
It’s counter productive to get them back orbs with headshots. Atleast the body.
thank you for the great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know what else you want brother 😉
Mantis can soft counter flying charactets with her basic attack, makes you feel like an aa gun xD
yeah the fact its a hitscan is amazing, especially for them slow flying iron mans haha theyre just slowly flying whilst u dmg boost and insta kill em
@Xeptha it's not hitscan though, they probably did that because it would be easier to land headshots and it would make her basics too close to Hela's, which she can out dps at long range due to no damage fall off like on Hela.
dude goes shadow priest on his team
i fidn the sleep is a great get away tool. if mantis gets cornered by a tank theres not much you can do to get out
or if you get dived by panth spidy or wolverine. remmeber to self boost to get movespeed and heal up too
If you arch her sleep up it go farther
Can't she just one combo dps? Shoot sleep buff cancel shoot melee headshot
Thx
Glad I could help :)
tfw you play mantis and you heal the most while dealing 2nd/3rd most dmg on your team
its a perfect solution to those monkeys in your team who never want to play support. and then they end up getting carried by the mantis support lol :D
How do you do the melee attack on keyboard? The one you did up close
I'm on console bro
v
Does anyone know why on Xbox I can’t use her ‘B’ button move??
You have a broken b button ? 😂
@ no I found out a bunch of characters had moves that buttons weren’t assigned to I had to go in manually and assign the button for that move
Any controller setting suggestions?
dont turn off your aim assist. push to have as fast of a sens as u can where u can still control it too
why put combos in the title..
There was a single combo at around 5:35
Do her heals and damage buff stack? Does her self buff stack?
heals yes, damage no. Heals will stack, but the damage buff is 25% for 5 sec, each additional cast only extends duration by 5sec with a 15sec maximum.
hahah noooooooooooooooo they dont. u can keep spamming heals on the same target. in the gameplay i showed me stacking heals for wanda whos ulting. but the dmg? definitely not. thatll be broken bro think of it :D normal attacks will doo 4x dmg
heals don't stack it increases the duration of the heal.
@gorediva ok technically we are both wrong. The heal is an immediate burst of I think 50hp then a heal over time. Stacking heals WILL apply another 50hp heal, but only extend the heal over time, not double it.
Thannks
yw :)
Anyone have some good controller settings for mantis
@@user-exuytv max sens. You're welcome
