…Going toe to toe with a Mythic Warden in a Mantis is really fun.
it is until you die.
It’s that even possible? Video?

ikr
The Mantis is actually surprisingly effective against the Warden given you have proper cover and good movement skills. Tanks are clearly more powerful, but you’re a sitting duck in them…Now if only I can pull more Mantis’ instead of every Scorpion variant. It’s a good problem to have though.
Whenever i’m in a mantis, i get rekt in no time.
Lol I’ll have to try it some time 
Beats all of those people who try to go head to head against the Warden with a Mongoose…
Been in that situation a few times, you have to keep moving and hope your support is good!
You should try that against a Grunt Goblin, he destroys your Mantis with 3 shots.
I have noticed the gungoose does quite well against the bosses. Make good contact and keep out of the line of fire and you are good

If you have good cover an ONI Mantis (any Mantis really, but lock-on capability is always better) can be really effective against Deacon Pipap. The Mantis has greater movement speed so you are able to duck behind a building or large rock to avoid the Needler fire better than a slow moving Scorpion. Plus, unless you have a friendly tank gunner, you can keep more sustained fire on the grunt solo with the chaingun while launching rockets when they are reloaded. There is a good couple second pause between tank rounds where you might as well be giving the grunt mech the finger while your scorpion reloads because you sure aren’t able to damage him otherwise.
I still need to do that. I used the Railgun vs the Phaeton’s the other night. Railgun wins!

Just like on foot, you have to be close to cover you can hop in and out of. As long as you can pop out ling enough shoot and duck back in, you’ll destroy almost any boss.

Me too… Awesome fun knocking those out the sky.
As for a Mantis? Certainly helped take out the big dude with one of those. Had to ensure I had a bit of cover to use between me & him though, and shift my attention to other enemies that try to put some fire down on my position so I can take them out first, or else the Mantis takes their attention and just about every critter wants to blow the cr@p out of you! It doesn’t last too long when they do that I can tell you!
What awesome fun Firefight is though. It’s what Halo 5 was heading for imho.
Wouldn’t it be supreme if they developed something like an epic a full campaign version? Imagine that?
use the oni or sword tank from a distance. Mantis draws too much attention the moment you take it out.
