Playing without sound enabled makes these quite annoying; no warning unless you're using enemy radar and notice an erratic dot on your minimap.

Bringing a weapon that can deal their entire health pool in one hit is very helpful, though.

Unfortunately they have quite a bit of health at higher levels; fully formatted Marelok stops working past 40.

The Hek with a Shattered Justice works quite well, as should anything that can deal more than 15k damage in one shot. Mesa's first ability is quite helpful in this.

Also, contrary to what the wiki suggests, Warframe abilities that deal sustained damge can indeed kill them.

Peacemaker, World on Fire, and Prism each successfully killed the Manic on Ludi, Ceres.

It should also be mentioned that, despite reliable spawns and having killed 40-50 of these so far, I have yet to receive a single mod from them - let alone Four Riders.

I can only assume that drops are either bugged or very very low.
