HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' Mantises serve as replacements for Warthogs for players using [[Avery Johnson]] as their leader and can be built at the [[UNSC Garage]], it is also exlcusive to Major [[Vaughan]] on Operation: SPEARBREAKER. Non-upgraded Mantises perform okay against infantry, vehicles, and structures, but poorly against aircraft. Once the Missile/Shield Req. upgrade is purchased the Mantis will perform okay against aircraft. Once the Gauss/Designator Req. upgrade is purchased the Mantis will perform well against vehicles. This makes a fully upgraded Mantis ideal to fight vehicles like Gauss Warthogs, [[Marauder]]s, and [[Type-30 Locust]]s. In [[Blitz]] a Mantis costs 80 energy while a Veteran Mantis costs 110 energy. Commander [[Jerome-092]] can summon his Command Mantis ''Theseus'' into battle with his Y ability, but like himself there can only be one used by the player at a time. ''Theseus'' can be controlled as it's own unit, but will only use its missiles if Jerome is piloting it. If ''Theseus'' is destroyed while Jerome is piloting it Jerome will survive.
