The Mantis strike scroll enables the use of the Mantis strike special move for a Praying mantis. Using a Praying mantis pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates ten Mantis strike scrolls.
Mantis strike
Mantis strike is the special move of the Praying mantis, activated by a Mantis strike scroll. When activated against an opponent, it uses a magic based attack (max hit 170) which always drains the opponent's prayer and binds if it deals any damage. Each use of a Mantis strike scroll requires 6 special move points.
Trivia
- The examine text is a reference to the movie, Karate Kid.
- The secondary ingredient for the praying mantis used to be a red mithril flower. This was changed to any flower in a later update.
