God I would love to have this card. Gold with the red highlights is by far my favorite skin out of all of the options. PLEASE LET ME BUY THIS NEXON/SD!!!

@Amerika lol it was just to show chopper stating 20% dmg.

Ps: no need to buy one I traded mine up :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, and I hate you for it :slight_smile: A very strong Darth Vader-style neck squeezing hate. I just love the gold cards with red tint skins for most mercs and I have yet to get a single gold card that is a good loadout…let alone one with the red variant.

@Amerika just for some more hate: this card was my first trade up to gold and only my second gold card (first one was a crap sawbonez from normal case) :wink:

HATE ME!!!

He’s gonna need a keg of this

@Amerika @sensitiveJellyfish I also have this card but to make you both ultra jelly…this is my first cobalt craft http://i.imgur.com/AkVulPp.jpg?1

And about Phantom red camo: I think it fits him considering on who he might have been based http://i.imgur.com/J0yvphs.jpg

Oh my god, Phantom needs voice lines that break the fourth wall

I don’t really play Sparks and the only person I know who does consistently (Vamp) has that card in Gold and Cobalt :slight_smile:

@MissMurder Pretty pleaseeeeeeee :smiley:

I see plenty of people using him and doing well with him. In fact he still annoys me at times with his 2 shotting sword. I stand fully behind he is fine.

The people who were ruining the game with the over powered Phantom are just salty now they can’t just insta-lame kill every1 and top score every game.

(neverplayseriou) #72

@Kaos88 so we can also nerf shotguns? They shoot faster than the katana can attack, have a longer range and can also 1 shot…

(watsyurdeal) #73

(Kaos88) #74

You have to have good aim with shotguns. They are nothing at all alike lmao how can you even compare those 2? Phantom before didn’t need any type of accuracy at all, you just left clicked and guaranteed a hit. ( in fact you could right click and just spin ) The Katana has a huge radius. Your cross-hair doesn’t need to be on them at all. Games should reward good aim and punish bad aim, end off! That was a really weak example indeed.

(neverplayseriou) #75

@Kaos88 uhmmm the cricket bat is easier and more efficient to use than what is supposed to be an agile sword, best comparison to the katana is just a plain simple knife nowadays.

(Kaos88) #76

The Katana has good range and radius vs knifes being faster. But the point you are missing out is the fact you have the best class to flank some1 and even if you are spotted you soak up damage before you get in range. Wall jumping Phantoms can close the distance super fast if they know what they are doing and can 1 shot any weak classes.

Last i checked Phantom can have a knife too? So if the knife is so much better. Use the damn thing. I think you just want the best of both worlds. Try using your aim and pop the KEK-10 out now and then if plan A don’t work.

(spicyHarp) #77

The katana isn’t good, phantoms ability to get up close and deal massive damage is. LMB with the katana is still very easy to aim. the bat can’t 2 shot 120hp mercs without chopper, and the RMB is just as hard to aim with.

Giving phantom an even better high burst damage weapon (ie: a shotgun) is the last thing I want.

(neverplayseriou) #78

Lol, phantom isn’t even a bit good at flanking…

Literally everyone can see him walking and he lacks speed, before you can get in melee range someone will hear your footsteps and turn you.

(watsyurdeal) #79

They can’t really hear the footsteps per say, but they can hear that whining or loud high pitched noise the cloak makes as it passes by.

But yea, for getting behind enemy lines the cloak sucks, if the enemy can see you then what is the point?

Then you are no playing him right O_o he was doing alright today. By the time you heard him it was too late. Aim for the head and he soaks it up, wall jumps in your face and 2 shots you.

I’m not saying he is the best Merc. Then again i don’t want him to be. He is a low skilled class for people who are not great at aiming. So he shouldn’t be made into something super powerful. This game should be about who has the better aim and movement 1st and foremost and not cater to noobs who refuse to learn to aim. But for the people who simply can’t he is at least there to get you a good amount of kills with very little precise aiming needed.
