#gg mantis lords 1

before both phase 1 and phase 2 in the mantis lords fight, the mantis lord(s) that are about to start fighting are in the ceiling and vulnerable to attacks. This means that you can consistently basically skip phase 2 in cats with shaman+shriek(this is the first video), you don't get control early enough to attack the phase 1 mantis lord in the ceiling. Also idk how 1221 shriek being bad affects this, it's pretty lenient on lp so should still work I think?

this also works in godhome, as you can see in the second video. you can do some damage in phase 1 but it's probably only worth in phase 2 and pretty strong there. In sisters it also works. Also, at least in godhome they sometimes camp the ceiling in between attacks but you can't damage them during this, only before a phase starts

The lords in the ceiling in overworld can be damaged by shriek or wraiths. I have not found anything else that works, but maybe someone else can have success finding another method. In godhome, the ceiling is lower so I don't think wraiths works
