Phantom or Fragger


(ASTOUNDINGSHELL) #1

So, i ran into some trouble with my Steam account involving someone hacking it to try and buy some shit from Dota 2 (lil fucker) and now i have to re-start DB from Zero throwing the 300+ hours i spent in the game alongside some cash.

Anyhow, the first 2 mercs i bought where Phantom and Fragger. I bought one with cash and the other one with credits. but this time i can only buy one of em.

I know Phantom is a troll-merc, but god he is fun to play as, But i also love to play Fragger, i spend like half of my time in DB as Fragger, But I wanna have the most fun, and I cant really Decide so… what do guys suggest?

I love both of them. I feel that Phantom, as he is right now, is good in pubs and is one of the highest skillcap mercs in the game. And when I say that I don’t mean playing melee-centric or melee only. Use all his tools correctly and he’s so hard to kill and has so many outs and can pick and choose fights at will.

Fragger, on the other hand, is just a pure killing machine. Being able to throw a grenade in one direction and get kills as you’re gunning down people in another direction is great. He also attracts medics more than most mercs too which is kind of nice (even if it’s still rare).

However, realistically for most people, Fragger might help you grind slightly faster since there is a small win bonus for credits and you might help a team win more with him. So that’s the best advice I can give you as a person who enjoys both classes to another person who does.

Also, that sucks about your account. Can Valve not do anything to fix the situation?

@Amerika Thanks, i guess ill see if either of them comes on the next rotation to confirm my decision.

And i cant… it no longer sends me the code to my E-mail and Steam-guard aint linked to my phone either so i am stuck.

There go my 6 Gold Cards.
Fragger, Phantom, Stoker, Thunder, Phoenix and Sawbonez

Definitely Fragger, good weapons, load outs and overall better than phantom as of now. Fragger helps push the enemy team away, compared to Phantom just cloaking, and flanking the enemy as a lone wolf. Plus Fragger has a better chance of receiving a good load out compared to getting a Phantom with no katana, which is pretty dumb imo.
