Mantis is the 8th Omega unit introduced to Empires & Allies. It is an MK2 grade Assault/ Summoner class omega specialized in close quarters fire and maneuver tactics.Mantis is equipped with a double barrel over-under model shotgun firing 2 shells a second. The shotgun has a ‘damage cone’ which deals damage to all units and structures caught in it from the barrel to its maximum range! Get close and line up multiple targets for best results!
The Mantis’ super ability is called the ‘DRONE SWARM’. When the super ability is ready, Mantis deploys a swarm of Battle Drones. These are small fast flying units that move and attack enemy structures and units independently. Battle drones are deployed with a short duration ‘Kinetic Barrier Repulsive Force Field’ rendering them invincible to ballistic and stun weapons for a short duration of time (see Shielded Duration on Mantis Info in the game). Owing to energy consumption issues, Battle Drones lose power and initiate ‘kamikaze’ attacks, damaging any unit or structure they crash into. Not to worry. The pilot can deploy a fresh batch of Battle Drones with the same capabilities every time the ‘Super’ generator recharges.
Mantis upgrades:BONUS COMMAND POWER DAMAGE:From level 5 and above, using Mantis grants 10% more damage to your A-10 Strikes, Hellfire Missiles, Orbital Strikes, and Tactical Nukes. The boost is only available when Mantis is deployed on the battlefield.
MICRO MED DRONES:From Level 12 and above, DRONE SWARMS will deploy MICRO MED DRONES. These are small rotary wing drones that repair friendly structures and units and heal troops. If Mantis’ health falls below 15 percent the Drone Swarm deploys an additional Micro Med Drone that heals Mantis!
