Black Manta Speculation Thread

Didn't see anyone else making this so I figured I would. Pretty excited to see what comes of this character. From the trailer it seems like he'll make use of missiles and a harpoon gun of some sort (plus other stuff of course). We'll get to see gameplay on the 27th of August, so not much time to speculate before we have some answers (that May next year date was definitely a mistake).

So what do you guys think?

Oh right I also already made this so yeah: https://discord.gg/2BPnksZ

Expect Optic Beams, Torpedos, Harpoons, and a trident Beat down while flying with a jet pack.

I have zero idea what his trait could be, maybe it involves his Harpoon and you have to manage it with reloads or something.
Beams might be trait again, which would make sense but is getting stale. I think NRS are wise to that, though.

I've been thinking some Predator-esque stuff and a rekka of some sort, maybe as the trait.

Wait we get manta the 27th? Or is that the gameplay reveal? Either way HYPE! I'm ready for this character. Edit: sees the 27th is a Sunday, that is clearly not when we are getting him.

Shoulder rockets was an odd choice but its whatever. He has an arsenal of badass weapons and im hoping NRS fits that theme around his playstyle.

Full ZONER. Has to be. His kit and character is all about it. Staying true to the character his mask, tech, and combat abilities are what make him a threat.

Expect his Trait to be his eye beams, change them like Deadshots wrist cannons.


If not it will be changing weapons...as in the rocket launcher is a stance, harpoon gun is a stance, and eye lasers are a stance.

Expect him to have the largest moveset inn the game as well has several strings that end in lows. His f3 has no range but his b3 is a eye beam that leaves him standing. If whiffed it's death.


Your welcome
