The mantis' hit box is difficult to find. Even if it has 4k HP, and someone is armed with the Heartburner, it takes 5-8 shots to take it down due to the fact that wings and legs do not seem to be covered by the 'hit box'

Their flight animation is broken, and if hit from long distance with a powerful sniper rifle, they will drop to the ground as if killed, but not die- be careful when approaching. Their pathing is terrible, and they tend to get stuck on fences, tall vehicles, some lamp posts, buildings, and under bridges. I recommend strafing or running around tall cover to avoid it or get it 'caught' before taking careful aim at its chest. Its AoE attack grounds it for a brief moment, and it seems to be easier to hit(Gives enough time for reloads). It breathes fire which hurts, even if you're behind an object. So keep that in mind.
