- Endurance: Low

Strategy
Use Firesand Kegs to deal 2500 damage to the Arena Manticore. Avoid its telegraphed claw swipe (winds up an arm), dash (points a shoulder at you), and flame breath AoE (raises arms to its mouth). All of these attacks will also damage the kegs, so kite the enemy around the map to make it damage itself.
The Arena Manticore can be killed with 
Ultravibration.

- Strengths: --
- Weaknesses: --
- Vulnerabilities: Slow, Petrification, Paralysis, Blind
Firesand Keg
- Endurance: Low
- Strengths: --
- Weaknesses: --
- Vulnerabilities: --
Strategy
Use the Arena Manticore's attacks to your advantage - have them damage each other, while also using the Firesand Kegs to deal more, while avoiding AoEs from kegs and the swings from the Manticores.
Arena Manticores can be killed with Ultravibration.
