Tips & Strategies
Once tamed basically fancy looking combat icthys but can't let you hold weapons on them but they can leap out of water and they work a kind of as a "fear tame" you need to go deep down and risk the dangers to get the gel mantas want to tame so that means if you have loads of mantas enemy players might think twice about attacking you fearing you might have powerful weapons either from simply being high enough level to get the gel or from deep sea loot crates
More Manta Utility Tips
Do not listen to the person who said that they only eat angler gel, they can only be tamed with angler gel, they will eat meat after tamed. They won't agro on you if your riding an ichty too. Upβvote
DO NOT BRING IT ON LAND!!!!
(it dies)
Masstame 150's til you got 50 of them, use them together with a swarm of 25 eels backed up by mateboosted basils, mosas and tusos.
Absolutely insane, ofc have them covered by some tek and heavies set on players only.
Have them all following a passive tame on low distance (could be an angler), and have them set on attack-my-target, and aggro range high.
Have a trapped tame as scout on aggressive and aggro range high, when it aggro towards any dinos or players, it will send the whole force to kill and stun the target, when target is out of range or dead, they will come back to base.
Tame like 20 of them, put them all in a single area, agressive on, wandering on, kill everyone
This is like a prehistoric jetski
Bug spray work while swimming near them to tame.
Do not dismount while in midair over sea! Dismounting while in the air will kill it!
Search for one that is on land or close to land almost free kills
Mantas are very quick ocean transport mounts, which also double as a powerful PVP asset. The manta's attack ignore the armour stat, which makes a high melee damage manta incredibly powerful to players and small tames. It's quick speed also allows it to move very fast. It can jump out of the water, but on contact with land, it will begin dying very fast. Very good for travel on the center map, as it can jump over the many islands if it gets a good run up
