Mantis strike[edit | edit source]
Mantis strike is the special move of the Praying mantis, activated by a Praying Mantis scroll (Mantis Strike). When activated against an opponent, it attacks with magic for up to 979 damage and drains the opponent's prayer, and binds them for 1.8 seconds (3 ticks) if it deals any damage. Each use of a Praying Mantis scroll (Mantis Strike) requires 6 special move points.
