Come on, you know y’all want it, and there is nothing wrong with indulging in a bit of racial stereotyping once in a while =D
katana on a fast character would be a bit scary, chopper-sparks with cricket bat is already quite difficult to deal with on pubs.
but why not, its fun to try to deal with them hyperzombie - mode
Maybe the Phantom redesign will be a merge of kira and phantom, how freaking delicious would that be, a fast moving merc who already has a cloaking ability on her orbital strike being able to cloak herself and go all stabbity stab mcstab on everything… sigh one can dream.
Edit: Imagine the “Kawaii” when going into cloak…
I always imagine that Aimée will have the same health/speed as Kira and that she will get the katana because recon and stuff.

True, but without Phantom’s cloak and the melee augments, it wouldn’t be thát bad. Also, there’s still the tanto option. They could replace the cricket bat on the respective loadouts with a tanto. Cricket bat has no place with Kira to begin with.

No because they said its a just a redesign there is no change to phantom no speed added therefor they are just going to change the way he looks like

Or… It could be that when you merge Phantom and Kira, you get Phantoms hit-box, Kira’s HP, Phantom’s slow speed, no katana (Kira’s melee weapons), cloak and ammo station for abillities, Deagle, Caulden and Simeon for secondaries, at that point I don’t care which primaries would it be, cause that merc would suck.
Yeah, make Phantoms melee part even more useless than it is now. No, thanks.
Kira + Katana + Quick Slash + Chopper
Please, make it happen for the 2nd generation loadouts @stayfreshshoe

what exactly is the tanto option? do you just want a different skin for your knife?
does it have a specific damage model that makes sense with the healthpools in the game?
there is the kukri if you need that…
How about re-skin the Beckhill to look like a Tanto, seems fine to me in every way.
The chances of it are probably pretty high since the Katana is not unique to Phantom and it and the Kukri will be available for other mercs in the future.
Well the Kukri is already on other mercs besides Redeye, Kira certainly makes the most sense to have the Katana of the mercs already in the game.
na man, there is no way aimee is getting the katana thats totally dumb.
Shes getting a kitchen knife.
lol, jk about it being dumb btw, it would be cool.
yeah I think it would be pretty great if Kira got it. At least on one specialized loadout.
The moment a new merc gets the katana, if he or she is styled anything like a badass, there will be no reason to play phantom for most nubie players. - Phantom’s current role is fit just as easily by proxy’s speed.
If a merc is faster and gets the katana, then… why would anyone use phantom? Sure his guns are nice and hp is… kinda meh. He’s just not sneaky over long distances.
(For more on THAT part of the problem, see my other msc posts.)
Furthermore, if this new katana merc gets a team-oriented ability, then even experienced players may have reasons to not use Phantom. Team oriented person with a katana vs a loner merc with a katana. Sort of an easy pick.
Ninja’s don’t use katanas, Samurai used those which is why I charge head on without cloak XD
