Phantom Speed Boost ability?


(ElDingDong) #1

I was thinking about a team ability for Phantom, and I thought about this speed boost ability.

Basically, around a small AOE, Phantom can use this ability to give himself or his team mates a speed boost, helping them from sticky scenarios, and also giving him and ‘in and out’ type of play style. This with his Cloak would make him a lone wolf, being able to quickly go in and out of battle. I always loved the idea of using the cloak to run away ninja style. But in practice, this cannot be achieved. Maybe also buff his damage absorption slightly, or completely get rid of it and give him a higher health pool and more invisibility?

I know Phantom is a merc always talked about in the forums, but the devs need to give us an update as to what exactly they are planning to do with him.

this is a good idea, but unfortunately I really don’t think it would be used as a team tool all that much. Most likely people would just use it to lone wolf even harder.

Unless they made it so that it could only be activated when you have more than 1 or 2 team mates in a certain radius of your position, idk, just my thoughts.
