Another idea for Phantom buff

(HammerOfDawn21) #1

[left]Change Phantom’s cloak/shield so that orbital lasers and stoker’s flames when cloaked doesn’t affect Phantom and any teammates within the cloak’s radius while susceptible to bullets and other explosive damage.

If the enemy team is denying the bomb by placing a laser directly on it, Phantom can cloak and deflect it while the eng defuses.
It might be more useful in protecting the EV if immunity is extended to airstrikes and artillery strikes when enemy team has 5 fire supports. It doesn’t make sense when you can tank a airstrike while a sticky nade can kill you, but some explanation can be worked in.

This will make Phantom more of a team player. Would this work for Phantom?[/left]

Imo all he really needs is to make the emp its own ability.

I thought of an easy way to make phantom viable would be to remove the audio from the cloak and make it so the only way to detect him with audio would be to listen to the emp noise. This would make the emp a double edged sword of sorts, where if you fulfil your role you do put yourself under risk, just less so than before.
