Mantis Blades is an Arms Cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077. Mantis Blades are arm blades designed with lethality and concealment in mind. The Mantis Blades are a distinctive cybernetic implant manufactured by Arasaka, designed for those who thrive in close-quarters combat. These blades allow users to inflict substantial physical damage during melee encounters, enhancing the lethality of their attacks. One of their standout features is the ability to apply a Bleed effect, which has a 10-20% chance of triggering with each strike. This effect not only inflicts immediate damage but also continues to harm the target over time, making it particularly effective against tougher enemies. Cyberwares are implants that players can install, exchange, and upgrade into V's body to obtain passive buffs and various active effects. Cyberware acts as the game's means to obtain armor from Patch 2.0 and onwards. Each cyberware is categorized in different rarities from Common up to Legendary+ and will contribute to your maximum cyberware capacity score.

    • IMO, if you're going reflex/blades, you're generally better off using a katana. The coolness factor of the mantis blades only lasts until you realize how limited the moveset is. the power attack animation takes forever, and the forward leap just doesn't have enough range to make up for the limited moveset. a good legenary, iconic katana can have pretty much all the same benefits, plus extra features.

        Sure would be nice if someone would update this to show that the free legendaries are no longer available.

          Use the target analysis kiroshi optic mod to disable the stupid kill animation. You can dart through whole crowds of enemies with the leaping attack. And finish them off after the fight for double xp and street cred.

            these dont level scale and are much weaker than a katana, if you see the damage go up when leveling that's probably from improving body or reflex. so you have to spend 100,000 every couple of levels if you want them semi relevant. they are massively worse than even a generic katana and the iconic ones are much, much better. like 4x the damage. you also cant remove upgrades from them.

              If you plan on using these with a Sandevistan, avoid the leaping attack. The kill animation will cancel Sandevistan and put on cooldown.

                You can get the legendary version from the Assault in Progress right from the start of Act 2. Takes a bit of easy sneaking since the enemies will oneshot you if you get into combat.
