The Mantis can equip tools such as a pick, hatchet, or sickle, allowing it to harvest resources effectively without specialized mounts. It can also hold a torch to serve as a mobile light source. Prioritize leveling Weight and Melee Damage. 

 A transferred Mantis is the best creature for harvesting Element after an Element Node event. Equipped with a high-quality Metal Pick and invested in Melee Damage and Weight, it gathers Element much faster than on foot while conserving player stamina. The Mantis is the only creature capable of performing this task. 

 For maximum Element yield, use an Autumn Drakeling, ride a Mantis with an opposite-gender Mantis nearby for mate boost, and apply a Yuty melee buff on the main vein before harvesting.
