Hello Phantom!

While I am hyped for Phantom but really would love to have Stoker.

Giving the KEK 10 and Crotzni to Phantom is completely a stupid idea.
Those two primary are top tier weapons.

Phantom should be:
Primary: Katana
Seconday: Caulden or even Tølen MP
Ability: Refractive Armor

Why? Phantom was told to be a melee focused mercenary. By the video it seems that he’s a super soldier with his armor. The KEK 10/Crotzni absolutely destroys other primaries which by many players will focus on using the primary and using his ability to escape or get behind enemy lines.

Giving Phantom his primary as a Katana will focus him to be a stealthy or up close fighter. And his secondary as the Caulden or even Tølen MP can help him for mid-long range mini damage or finishing off an enemy.

He’s meant to be a “stealthy melee focused mercenary”. This video shows he’s just going to be a powerhouse soldier with the ability to receive non-to-hardly any damage from shots or explosives.

Just my two cents…

[quote=“extravagentBypass;36673”]Interesting… was not expecting Phantom, as I have heard from numerous sources that he was OP and completely ruined the flow of the game (kinda like martyrdom :P)

On an unrelated note, is MissMurder part of the dev team? I wonder what being a community manager is like… if she is even one.[/quote]

He was actually one of the worst and most underpowered classes. It was also proved to be difficult to balance during early beta/alpha. No one played him other than me on occasion and a couple others. Although most of my time was spent on red eye.

Well she’s the Nexon community manager for DB and Nexon is the publisher, not the developer.

While I definitely see potential for abuse with Kek and ‘press Q to get 50-100hp while running in/away’; maybe we can:

wait and see how he plays before calling the apocalypse?

But that would be rational. This is the internet, being rational isn’t allowed.

If not because he’s awesome, then just because of his taunts :smiley:

MissMurder lives in USA, the game is being developed in UK. Need I say more?

amazing!!!

as primary Sparks player I feel that I will curse a lot at this char :smiley:

(Dra?a Chetn1k) #93

Yesss,my life is now complete.Now we have to wait for Thunder,Stoker,Aimee,Turtle,Redeye and Phoenix,and I hope you add them soon.

Best to just quit playing Sparks. Honestly, what other merc gets so thoroughly decimated by another? Sparks’ REVIVR has a long charge time, giving Phantom ample time to shield. Her guns are basically peashooters compared to his carbines, and she has far less HP. Even legging it is an unreliable option when he has KEK and Crotzni in his arsenal.

I mean, sure, other mercs get countered - sort of - by others, but this is on an entirely different scale, and is very specific to Sparks. Something like a cooked grenade is still almost impossible to react to.

On the bright side, I’m now really excited for Redeye.

120hp for him is way 2 much, considering effectiveness of his cloak. 100 would be far more reasonable(if not less).

(cornJester) #96

Considering the effectiveness of his cloak? All you have seen is a video. No-one has been able to even play with or against him yet. We don’t know his effectiveness and until we know from first hand experience we should save the nerf suggestions.

(Potato_Ladder) #97

Unless you see him first and you’re faster than him, make use of it and yes Sparks is my main as well.

I don’t even know why there’s two threads at the same time about this merc

(Ghosthree3) #99

Oh shit he has the Crotzni? Now I’m interested.

Looks interesting enough to instabuy, the armor shield sound a bit OP but we will see. Only thing I’m allready disappointed in, is that he has zero team related abilities aside from sneaking through the frontline and killing Vassili and Sparks.

As a recon a marking ability would have been logical, for example looking for a second at the same Merc, to mark them. Longer duration than the hearthbeat sensor, but only a single target at once. One use of that would have been to sneak through and mark a carrier for easy tracking.

But we will see how he plays out.
