Mantis Traitor

Behaviour and Tactics

 * Slash: if The Knight is in front of them, they perform a lunge and slash with a long range.
 * Lunge: If the Knight is airborne, they will jump a short height, then perform a diagonal slash downwards, followed by a forward lunge.
 * Upward Swipe: if the Knight is directly above it, it will sometimes perform a quick upward swipe.

The best tactic is to bait out its long forward lunge, jump over it, and get a hit or two in before dashing away and repeating. Mantis Traitors have a much faster recovery time on their attacks than most enemies, so it is wise not to stay close too long after they attack.

Location
They are very commonly found within Queen's Gardens, usually defeating them is necessary to unlock a door or proceed in the game, like in the Traitor Lord fight. Also found within the Colosseum of Fools, at the 9th and 17th wave of the Trial of the Fool.

Trivia

 * Due to a possible bug in one of the patches, Mantis Traitors no longer drop any Geo.
