Dark Mantis

Dark Mantis, known as Darkneid Kamakil (ダークネイド・カマキール) in Japan, is a Maverick from Mega Man X8. He leads the weapons production in Pitch Black stage. He is very ninja-like in his attacks. He sends homing missiles, and, in overdrive, he'll send out large scythe blades, perhaps as a nod to Rasetsusen. But as his name implies, he's not fond of light, so let him have it with the light weapons from Optic Sunflower. You will have to be careful with Tenshouha, however, as like with other Giga Attacks on Zero, it has limited shots.
