Mantis 
It pleases me to be helpful.
Mantis is a strategist in Marvel Rivals, specializing in healing, utility, and damage boosts. Her primary role is to keep her team alive with her powerful healing abilities while enhancing their offensive potential through buffs. Mantis excels at sustaining her team during extended fights with abilities like Healing Flower and Soul Resurgence, and her crowd-control tool, Spore Slumber, allows her to disable key threats. Her unique mechanics, such as consuming Life Orbs to power her abilities, make her a cornerstone of any well-rounded team.
Mantis synergizes well with high-damage duelists like Scarlet Witch or Star-Lord, as her Allied Inspiration ability amplifies their damage output. However, Mantis is fragile and lacks strong mobility, making her vulnerable to flankers like Spider-Man or Magik. Careful positioning and awareness are critical for maximizing her impact.
How to play Mantis in Marvel Rivals
Mantis's primary attack, Life Energy Blast, is a projectile that restores a Life Orb on critical hits. Aim for headshots whenever possible to generate more Life Orbs, as these are essential for using your abilities. Balance your use of Life Orbs between healing with Healing Flower and boosting damage with Allied Inspiration: prioritize healing during defensive engagements and damage buffs when your team is pushing offensively.
Timing your ultimate ability, Soul Resurgence, is critical for turning the tide of battle. Activate it during intense team fights or objective contests to provide healing over time and bonus health to nearby allies while granting them a movement speed boost. This ability allows your team to sustain through heavy damage and push forward aggressively.
Also, be sure to amplify your own damage with Natural Anger as much as possible — at high level Mantis should be played very aggressively, combining her high damage with faster Life Orb regeneration.
