A Mantacord is never encountered alone, and often have a fairly diverse entourage at their beck and call. They will stay out of melee as much as possible, relying on their tougher bodyguards to engage in close combat. From the safety of the rear, they skirt the battlefield, looking for opportunities to flank an enemy before delivering ranged attacks. They usually don't hesitate to use catch an ally in blast attacks, but are conscious enough to use a damage type that their ally resists when they do so.
