BornWithTeeth Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 w00t! Have all the components of a Mantis cooking in the Orbiter's nanofactory. First got the Orokin rare container component ages and ages ago, sat on it, did nothing. Then, on Earth a few months ago, took a detour and found a big orange crate with another part. Finally, today I heard that tell tale chiming on Jupiter and hunted around until I found it and bam! All three parts, complete! I'm well aware that the Mantis' air support ability isn't actually very good. I just really like having a spare dropship, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) damn, that's some pretty insane luck right there! nice! edit: thinking about it, none of the Air support abilities are really that great. even the Xiphos' Sentry Turret is just a friendly Corpus Turret that has VERY little health and does no decent level of damage against level 30+ mobs.

matto Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Sometimes that's how things happen. I built Ivara when I noticed that I had all components' BP by playing random spy missions (from alerts and syndicates I suppose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try having 4 of em in void defence on top of the objective under snowglobe, Help to keep the pod clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesit1 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Actually, having extra heal opens you many possibilities. For now, I have Life Strike only when I play some tanky warframe with rage. I save many team health restores thx to Mantis, and it's always good feeling to focus gameplay around 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TARINunit9 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Congratulations! I lucked out when they swapped the Corpus and Grineer container rewards, because it meant I got them both from Law of Retribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeerioJim Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Congrats, im hoping to find the last corpus part myself right now. I've had the other 2 parts for a long time now, and the last 3 corpus rare/reinforced containers I've gotten have had zero mantis parts =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrVonTuckIII Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Honestly, Mantis' AS is way better than both Scimitar and Xiphos. Liset's is actually pretty nice in Spy missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaizergidorahXi Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I've been playing for well over a year, and I've never ever seen a heavy crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We layer the turrets, 4 deep, every ten minutes. XD But, congrats OP! That's some good luck right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some good luck right there. exactly, its a tactic that i actually used to use in those tower defense style games. sometimes, just using a crap ton of the basic towers will carry you farther than the strongest tower in a game. the same applies here, 1 turret does jack diddly, 10 turrets on the other hand...
