Mantis is a strategist who excels in healing, crowd control, and disruption. Her empathic powers allow her to disable enemies while providing sustain for allies, making her a supportive yet impactful pick. She thrives in team compositions that favor prolonged fights where her healing and control shine. Players should focus on staying safe in the backline while timing disables to interrupt priority targets. Mantis is most valuable when denying enemy duelists from bursting down allies. Her healing also allows vanguards to hold space longer, giving her team time to scale. Her weaknesses include fragility, reliance on positioning, and vulnerability to burst damage. Mobile duelists and AoE strategists who can pressure the backline limit her impact. Still, in the right hands, Mantis can completely swing teamfights by denying enemy momentum.
