Mania is one of Shadow Stalker's acolytes, first introduced during Operation: Shadow Debt. He takes the form of 
Loki with an Immortal Skin, wearing Stalker's helmet and a Daedalus Shoulder Plate.
As of Update 29.5 (2020-11-19), Mania can now spawn in The Steel Path missions.
Tactics[]
Mania battles with a 
Lacera, launching its grappling hook at unsuspecting Tenno. He can also stun Tenno using 
Switch Teleport, and cast 
Turbulence to shield himself from gunfire. His melee attacks are capable of ragdolling his targets, leaving them vulnerable as he slices away.
Quotes[]
- "I see you are still their servants."
- "Who do you hunt?"
- "Our fight is not with you Tenno."
- "We will return. We will complete this judgement."
Trivia[]
- Mania's Lacera uses its Acolyte Skin, while Mania himself uses Loki's Immortal Skin.
- If Mania is using Turbulence but gunfire is forced to hit Mania through extraneous circumstances, Turbulence will manifest as an invisible wall, complete with bullet hole decals similar to when gunfire hits the environment.

Patch History[]
Hotfix 29.5.4 (2020-11-25)
- Acolytes have been given the fancy “boss Health bar” treatment!
Update 29.5 (2020-11-19)
- THE STEEL PATH: ACOLYTES JOIN THE BATTLE & MORE!
- As you play in any Steel Path mission, Acolytes will spawn and attack - defeating the Acolyte grants a guaranteed drop of 2 Steel Essence. Beware! If you get downed by an Acolyte, they'll escape and you won’t receive any Steel Essence!
- The Steel Path Acolytes now have received the same Status Effect eligibility treatment that Liches received in Update 27.3 earlier this year. This means we have slightly increased their health (scaled by squad size) as the Status Effect eligibility makes them easier to kill.
- In essence (ha), there is virtually no RNG with Steel Essence anymore. Acolytes will always appear in regular missions (Endlessly in Endless missions.). The time at which they choose to appear may be a bit random, but if you kill mobs, they will come!
- Please note, Acolytes won't spawn in Archwing missions on the Steel Path.
Hotfix 18.4.1 (2016-01-25)
- Introduced.
