Coming on the back of that holiday special, the Guardian of the Galaxy's own empath extraordinaire Mantis is getting ready to enter the Contest in Marvel Contest of Champions. Sabotage At The Mantis House sees the Guardians drawn into a mystery, enlisting the help of Jessica Jones to find the culprit.

Galactus’ reach continues to stretch across the Battlerealm, finally reaching the Mantis Household. During a holiday party held by the Guardians of the Galaxy, a mysterious force caused calamity, prompting Mantis to call in Private Investigator Jessica Jones to investigate the crime scene, finding only spiked punch, destroyed presents and the power shutdown, leading the prime suspect being someone who attended the party.

Best known as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, both in the comic books and of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mantis is a very powerful martial artist, backed up by her expert emotional influence. She was trained to become a grand mistress of martial arts by the Priests of Pama, in the process becoming the Celestial Madonna. She was granted a new body from the Cotati, and gained complete control over her spirit and emotions to become the protector we all know.

During combat, Mantis uses both her empath skills and martial arts prowess to great effect, being able to expertly control her opponents to gain an advantage. Her Induced Hypersomnia skill causes her opponent to fall asleep, leaving them open to a devastating combo, such as the Emotional Outburst skill in which Mantis performs powerful palm strikes guaranteed to be critical hits. Her ultimate skill will tranquillize the opponent and causes them to engage Mantis in a dance-off, ending with a climatic strike to end the battle.

Mantis will be joining the contest on December 15th, so make sure you download Marvel Contest of Champions now from the App Store and Google Play to make sure you are prepared.
