Easier Mantis Rotation Marvel Contest of Champions

[@jamesg4164]

I like this Valk/Masacre hybrid approach. Very practical. Great job and thanks for sharing!

[@jericho426mcoc4]

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@Harmzeedj1]

I can intercept fine, but not in the way needed for her special rotation, so this was just what I was looking for, thanks! 👍🏽

[@JDCJR01]

I actually just devised this rotation after getting mantis as a 7 star. I love the commentary and everything btw😁 subscribed✨

[@JohnnyEssex]

Great simple vid, I've been using her for a few weeks now, in BGs she's great if you nail the intercepts too, I've had a few 30 sec fights with her.. This is perfect for safely playing her in eq or story content where you're not in too mu H of a hurry

[@airfish8216]

Thank you for this, I'm horrible at intercepts, and just pulled her as a 6* today. I needed this lol

[@Nonyabizz1234]

I'm great at intercepting but just wanna watch some mantis videos cos I got her 6* yesterday and have been toying with her. But this rotation is very smart I'm impressed You're also the one who taught me the Valkyrie rotation I'm using

[@jericho426mcoc4]

Awesome man! Glad I can help some. I hate overly complicated rotations.

[@araoyegbadebo3569]

Intercepting is not my thing, I'm so poor about it, that's why I can't rank up champions like this

[@danillious2622]

Omg thank you so much. Now I can play her probably and she rocks

[@birdjoy5974]

I am horrible at intercepting so thank you very much 👍🏽

[@sonalsingh21]

Bro if I am not good at intercepting, I am just practicing, is there any other way to maximize damage output of 5* unawakened Hercules. Or any simple way to use him. Please tell would be great. Thanks in advance.

[@jericho426mcoc4]

Hercules doesn’t need awakened ability for damage. You will have to learn to special intercept. Make sure that your taunt ability is not on cooldown and that you have your sp2. Hit the opponent with 1-2 attacks then dash back. This will place a taunt on them. As they dash towards you hit your special, it will intercept them with the sp2. This is easier than a regular intercept. If you want to know more I have a guide on how to use Hercules on my channel.

[@UrGodIsDead]

1:47 Nice. Just pulled a 6* and 7* Mantis today. This will come in handy :)

[@C000DY]

I'll be honest.. I wish they would have just gave us a good power drain chanp with furys. And big sp2 that let her keep her furys. Or give her a precision.. the intercepts. And the build to hitting into the block.. and Yada Yada yada.. I despise trying to build somthing onto a champ.. just to manage a large sp.. it isn't practical.. and doesn't help people enjoy using her.. Noone is using mantis in content beside bg or defence in aw.. and that sucks.. she could have been really cool to.. but right now.. I despise her kit..

[@Skatemonster]

How do you make the opponent go to sleep to be able to hold the heavy for the crazy damage? I know how to intercepted all of that, but I don’t seem to be able to put them to sleep.

[@jericho426mcoc4]

Once you have the emotion charges on the opponent, as soon as you start to charge the heavy they will sleep. With 20 charges it maxes out at 10 furies. The holding of the heavy attack with charges makes them sleep

[@Skatemonster]

@@jericho426mcoc4 okay thank you so much. I pulled her as 6 star and couldn’t figure it out I was just dancing with the opponents waiting for them to sleep lol.

[@sonalsingh21]

Bro I have odin, knull, venom and venompool as 5*. But recently got 6* cgr and 5* Hercules. All unawakened except venompool. Whom to prioritise for act 6 and beyond and variant content. Also is BWDO good?

[@jericho426mcoc4]

Ok all are good, but if it were me I’d go CGR, then Hercules, then Knull. If Hercules were awakened I’d put him first. CGR and Knull really don’t need the awakening. As for BWDO I used to not like her, but she least takes some ranking up, at higher ranks she can really put out a lot of damage, if you only have her as a 5 star I personally wouldn’t rank her, but a 6 star is well worth the rank

[@antonioscott6131]

Do you think she is good on defense for bgs?

[@jericho426mcoc4]

She can be a decent defender, her tranquillize makes it difficult to parry her do the opponent has to rely more on intercepts

[@antonioscott6131]

Ok plus her sleep mechanics can cause trouble if not played carefully…thnx for the feedback and nice video.

[@ColinWhitworth]

Cool

[@thomaschiu1979]

I just got so bumped out pulling a 7 star Mantis up until I saw this video….it totally change the way I play her….massive improvement ! Thanks for the tips!!

[@thomaschiu1979]

Best Mantis tutorial!!

[@Carahloporra]

you explained mantis very easily, something many videos haven't done tbh. thanks

[@JosephHaubert]

She maybe as complicated to play as Viv Vision. I am bummed I just got her as a 7* and wont use her. My best advice would be don’t build to 20 charges. Just 5 hit combo upon start to get infuriate, hit 10 times into defenders block and then do a heavy-sp2. On the heavy-sp2, hold heavy to activate sleep and then before the sleep timer ends drop the sp2. On Intercepting to get more charges past 10 is a waste of time and the ai never wants to work with you. She still does amazing damage with 10 charges and its less frustrating. If she didnt have to intercept to gain more charges she’d be perfect. Thx for the video!!

[@jericho426mcoc4]

I actually like her as a champion as long as I use the easy rotation I described but only for simple questing. I don’t find her tranquillize powerful enough to really help with debuffs. On another note Viv Vision is one of my favorite champs in the game. The problem is you really need her max sig. but I’ve she is you simply build to just below sp3 and then use your sp2. After that just spam sp1. With a max sig viv, you should be able to get off 3 sp1s back to back. The only tricky part is timing the taps on her sp2, which took me about a week to get the hang of that. I’m not sure if they silently buffed her to make the taps easier but it seems way easier to me now

[@adityavora007]

brilliant

[@nandowash4628]

Great video it’s guys like yourself that make KZbin so valuable. Saved me many hours and units on future fights!

[@alanchichino]

Thank you!
