Before fighting the Mantis Ant, make sure your party is around level 6 or 7. Equip Careena with the Dancer class and use the Sylphid Boomerang to hit the boss.

Maximize Dancer abilities in the Elemental Plot with available Elemental Points. If you want Val as the main damage dealer, get the Shuriken ability from Aery Passage’s northern section.

To win, focus on the Mantis Ant’s weak spot: its belly. Lock onto it and use wind-based attacks for the most damage. The Dancer’s Cyclone ability, combined with Defenseless, can quickly drain the boss’s health.

Stay alert for the Mantis Ant’s primary attacks:

As the battle goes on, the Mantis Ant’s movement gets faster. Keep dodging its attacks while targeting its weak point.
