White mags prefight helps. I did ok with doom until I learned the fight. Then I was able to solo her with 7* gamora. Just have to keep pushing her to her SP2. Relic striker can help a lot with that. If she gets aggressive and just starts launching sp1s as soon as her bar is full you’re in trouble though.
My question is why does my Ebony Maw no longer work against Mantis? He used to just degenerate the heck out of her without batting an eyelash. What changed? I’m totally stuck on threat 5 episode 3 right now because I brought him for that counter.
The more I do this fight, the more I hate it. The special lock debuff is too long, she doesn’t like to be pushed to sp2 and if she just spams sp1 you either take dmg from trying to time specials before you are special locked and or out to sleep, or you’re out to sleep and just demolished.
Why do the debuffs refresh every 5s but last for 10s each. I swear I'm special locked like half the time. Try to time special for sleep, nope get special locked instead. Also the fact that timing the sp3 for sleep does nothing.
Like the dude above me said, the more I do it, the more I hate this fight. Doesn't help that u need to do it 5 times on each difficulty for exploration.
Maybe I'm used to just blitzing this kind of quest but man, I did not enjoy it at all.
Rewards for all 4 weeks make up for a bit of pain and I haven't really used much in the way of revives so far but being special locked while needing to throw a special to avoid being put to sleep and comboed to death is a nasty combination.
I just made run took left side(mojo) with r4 6* Claire and og Guill 5*void(used for sinister) 6*torch and 6*white mag. I applied prefight on mantis with mags and White mag killed it. Rotate sp1 and 2(sp2 high dmg) she will shrug the armor break but it’s to bipass the node(can’t use same special b2b) His helmet may help but I havnt looked into it. This was first post I have tried to find another counter myself
Push her to special 2 (sp2).. its easier to dex.. each time week 3 Mantis boss use her special1 (sp1), she inflict sleep timer.. also if im power lock I try to back off and use heavy attack (even if am hitting air) the lock seems to disappear (am not sure if this is the correct way to remove the lock.. can someone please confirm or disprove), afterwich I try to time using sp1 or sp2; if and when the sleep timer is about to expire.. what I don't like is getting rooted.. and easily combo if I'm trying to dex her while sleep timer expires.. now I'm rooted and stunned.. Week 3 Mantis boss, charges her heavy for fury stacks and she uses her sp2.. I wish my 7* Mantis had some of the node abilities in her kit.. as she is now, great against science and ok vs other class (not vs mutant)..
If you time your striker correctly you can avoid getting hit when sleep Use striker just when the sleep timer is about to end and the stun from striker lasts long enough to let the sleep stun expire I think Doom and Hyperion would be great option
The powerlock length seems too long, almost half the sleep timer, is that right? Also, how comes the sleep timer doesn't dissappear like it supposed to when firing an sp, that on top of sp3 doing no damage at all is a joke but thats happening in all content not just this fight.
Professor X does well in this fight too. I have willpower maxed and with the debuffs applied during the fight, I managed to heal the majority of the time. So that was a plus. Also, if you can get his prowess to stack off the special 3, the special 2 becomes very potent. His falter is clutch when that sleep stun kicks in as well..
A question for all that are saying that its an ez kill with bish, both storms etc etc, are u still able to parry when needed and does the sleep timer go when u fire an sp, or do u still get rooted when not even in striking distance? Its not an attack on anyone its just questions I have as controls are so off in almost all content 😕

Idk if it goes or not but you don't get stunned if the timer expires during special You get rooted only when you are close to her Don't parry Just don't parry

Kitty with Wolverine and Tigra synergies made this fight humorously easy. 20 prowess SP3, then 20 prowess SP2 with 300+ prowess potency. Even with the 0 dmg SP3 bug, a single SP2 kills her off.

I used Nimrod, Apoc, shang chi and Kang.
With Kang it's the most fun.
And like the other guys said. Strikers are key to have a smooth fight.
Use striker just when the sleep timer is about to end and the stun from striker lasts long enough to let the sleep stun expire
I think Doom and Hyperion would be great option
Bishop also does well but Storm finishes it quicker
And America Chavez also works but the fights gets pretty long
Then she heavies
Hopefully it helps you all
You get rooted only when you are close to her
Don't parry
Just don't parry
