Gods of Battle are Kind of Crazy...

This probably isn't their final form... at least, once the Mantis Gods mod gets some improvements for this fight.
So I got a bit lucky and won this nail only sooner than expected. This mod was much fun and I'm glad to have been able to play it. Technically the win came from using Unbreakable Heart and the mod's inconsistent contact damage with one of the mantis gods. But, a win is a win and I'm significantly happier it didn't involve descending dark.
Unless Gods of Battle receives a mod update or I go back to do this radiant and nail only I will move on to other mod bosses as I've posted quite a bit on this particular mod. I think part of that was not being sure whether I counted a win as satisfactory for the boss (regardless of the methods) or to keep shooting for hitless. If you are quite sick of these bosses, my apologies!
Mantis Gods was made by 56. If you're wanting to try this mod, it can be installed through the mod installer on the HK Discord modding channel in pinned messages.

[@sorensouthard927]

This is stupid gameplay, they attack in mostly random almost undodgeable patterns with greater speed then you can comprehend. They're going faster than reaction time can merit which is unfair bad gameplay. There is a reason why the first mantis battle was as fast as it was. And it's lazy to copy paste it simply speed it up. Then call it a hard boss.
