Here some things I found after playing with Phantom.
His Katana heavy attack can multi-kill. Yes you heard me, Phantom can heavy attack during which for ~2sec everything your cross-hair goes over will get hit.
His cloak is fine, you can see him if he is close, further away that is a different story.
You can’t repair, defuse, plant, help up, people when cloaked.
Lastly Phantom is a hella fun 
Shooting cancels his cloak and it has a delay before it activates, so it can’t be used during gunfights.
I feel the cooldown should be longer, because I can spam his ability and have it up before almost every fight which allows me to get superior positioning or free shots off every time.

Yeah well that’s the point of his ability, having superior positioning, just like nader granade give her better zoning or fragger granade get you better… at one shotting people

Honestly it’s the only reason why you would pick it in the first place over, says, the stiletto. Even with the +20% melee damage augment it still doesn’t kill 110hp characters with a single heavy hit and it’s quite slow.
I was an avid aura+stiletto player and overall I’m a bit disappointed in Phantom speed and his katana. Sure he has more hp but when you take into account a little bit of lag, the average aim capability of players and the advanced movement system of the game, speed ends up being just as good, if not better, than a bit more HP.
If I were so summerize my first impression I’d say I was expecting a fast melee ninja assassin and I got an offensive version of Bushwacker. Which is still very cool and probably more viable overall.
