Mantra

Drops from: Bloomreaper the Invincible in The Bloom, Carcadia Burn. Drop rate: 15% (+2% per UVH Rank) (community-reported).

Farm route: Use the Bloomreaper raid boss route before starting a long session so you have the unlock, route and phase notes open.

Plan a 30-60 minute farm session at this drop rate. The most efficient route is to run the boss back-to-back with a fast-clear build; loot pile rolls every 6 kills on average.

Pick your element for the target

This drop can roll with different elements (or none) depending on the instance, so confirm the element on your copy in-game. Match it to the target: shock for shields, corrosive for armor, fire for flesh.

Vault Hunter pairing

The natural fit for Mantra is Amon for crit ramp; Vex for backstab burst. Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.

Build the rest of your loadout

A legendary shotgun like Mantra earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Pair it with a longer-range crit weapon for ranged engagements. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
