Both levels involve waves of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] infantry and as such multiple Mantises are available in case the player's original Mantis should be heavily damaged or destroyed. The player should always be weary of enemies wielding [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s and overcharging their [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s. | ||

The Mantis' machine guns and stomp ability are more than capable of dealing with the Covenant and [[Promethean]] infantry even on [[Legendary]]. The player should also be weary of the occasional [[Type-26 Banshee]]. A combination of the Mantis' machine guns and missiles will make quick work of all aircraft. | ||

However, unlike Infinity, the Phantoms will drop both [[Type-26 Wraith]]s and [[Type-32 Ghost]]s. The player should always keep a distance between their Mantis and enemy Wraiths as a boosting Wraith is capable of destroying a Mantis regardless of difficulty. Also, unlike Infinity, there are many more Banshees present in this level and are a threat when they are sent in waves. It's best for the player to find cover where they can hide until their shields are up before they engage another Banshee squadron. | ||

**In Shootout in Valhalla the four Mantises will always spawn back if destroyed. The only real threat is the occasional Wraith and the massive amount of Banshees in this chapter.

*In multiplayer the player should always have a designated vehicle-based [[loadout]]. For their [[Tactical packages|tactical package]] they should always use Wheelman. A disabled Mantis takes the longest to recover out all the vehicles in ''Halo 4'' making Wheelman an absolute must. For their [[Support upgrades|support upgrade]] they should use either Gunner, so the Mantis' machine guns can fire longer before overheating, or Survivor, so that they may survive the Mantis' destruction. | *In multiplayer the player should always have a designated vehicle-based [[loadout]].

The [[M12 Warthog LRV]]'s [[M46 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M46 machine gun]] is rather ineffective against a Mantis and the [[M12R Warthog]]'s [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System|missiles]] can easily be sidestepped by a Mantis at various ranges. The only Warthog a Mantis pilot should be weary of is the [[M12G1 Warthog|M12G1 Gauss Warthog]]. The Gauss Hog's [[M68 Gauss cannon]] can kill a fully shielded Mantis in three shots. The best way to deal with any Warthog is to use the Mantis' missiles, which can lead to flipping the Warthog and may even splatter the former occupants, or if the Warthog is close use the stomp ability. | ||
*The Mantis should also be used to help the player's team against enemy Banshees.

*While engaging an enemy [[M808C Scorpion]] the player should always stick to cover and launch all five of their missiles after the Scorpion has fired its [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|90mm cannon]].
