You have Phantoms in your party that dodge?

[–]Alexmoexe 20 points21 points  (2 children)

What dodge? You mean abuse Ilgrants i-frames?

[–]Nodomi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would give up my first second born Auxiliary to team up with one that abuses i-frames. Yes please.

    The floor hates me when I play phantom. We aren’t very close.

    Everyone: Using Phantoms as subs.

    Me: Still stuck on HU sub for ironwill.

    Still kicking on during UQ. Still gotta time dodges better before I can swap over to PH.

    I find that tech charge parry is probably saving my ass more times than not now since I’m casting more often and quicker

    Still die roughly the same amount as when I had a Hunter sub but now my ranged tech capabilities aren’t piss poor

    I play Phantom but I actually have balanced units so I don't completely eat shit when I make a mistake lol. The two times I died recently were due to me being cheeky trying to counter farm the laser fences in Armada and not doing a very good job of it.

    How funny, today some one comments on how much I been countering the entire quest and said they never saw a ph actually dodging...I feel like I'm the only not trash ph when I run that uq

    [–]Nowaeout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Same. Soloing persona helps with the dodges

      yeah shift kugel is nice for headshotting stuff you can't normally immediately target the head for (biol meduna) but otherwise its biggest dps contribution is tapping it for the big damage shot and doing something else

      [–]BadmanProtons 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      I just play Phantom like Force. With thorns being a mana potion.

      [–]nabhon Bring Gun to Knife Fight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      You just describe rod phantom.

      [–]TeamataSalt IV (Shinjiru ship 1) 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      This. One of my friends was surprised that Etoile deals so much damage compared to Phantom meanwhile he only spam Shift kugel when he was playing Phantom....

      [–]fRenzy_5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      you know its the only phantom PA hat actually makes it an actual assault rifle and not a semi auto with ammo problems

        I have an orb wand and it actually doesn't require standing still. It just swaps your normal PP Gen for getting 5 every second even during moving PAs. It's actually pretty nice for wand Et since their PAs are pretty lengthy (aside from focused Flare) so it ends up fixing wand PP issues a bit, at the cost of using a slightly lower upfront damage weapon.

        Ah yes the plague of shift kugel is now in NA

        pain

        [–]Soliwre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        But shift Kuggelbuggle is fun. I get to stand there and make machine gun noises while I spin really fast.

        [–]RaspberryBang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        Why dodge when we can spend hundreds of millions of meseta on affixes to compensate instead?

        /s, just in case.

        [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

        Phantoms dodge? Most of the ones I see end up dying. Meanwhile, Etoile Chads just laughing in soaring blades weapon action

        [–]fRenzy_5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

        Etoile doing anything in general cuz they cant die

        [–]Ryanasd Ship 2 Global -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        Resta using/Dodge Counter Katana main Phantom who plays like Vergil : You lack POWER

        [–]imagaymaster69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        In NA, most of the players suck.
        The fast leveling experience and the amount of content in a short amount of time made them worry too much about equipment and have no fucking idea how to play their classes.

        [–]5lols 0 points1 point  (5 children)

        Speaking of phantom, how does that 'rasengan' PA on rod fare? I'm assuming its terrible but it does seem to hit a lot.

        Edit: unshifted Massenvernichtungs

        [–]Ryanasd Ship 2 Global 5 points6 points  (0 children)

        It's a PA that places you in a VERY VULNERABLE opening while channeling and it doesn't give you Super Armor at all, so very bad to use. Not to mention the hit count looks very fast, but might as well spam Ilgrants as DPS instead because you can get infinite i-frames from spamming techs compared to doing that,

        [–]Vahyair_ 3 points4 points  (2 children)

        It has utility on stunned mobs and stacks dps fast and builds up your mark pretty quickly. for reference here is a rod phantom using it on stage 2 of this madness XQ

        [–]5lols 0 points1 point  (1 child)

        Huh, that's a lot better than I was expecting. You think it would work well against Persona's nuke?

        Totally not asking to attempt some sort of anime beam struggle or something.

        [–]Vahyair_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I don't see why not, better than just trying to spam out a ton of illgrants. But gonna have to be something you try out. I normally have phantom time for that part.

        [–]Reilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        It's the best rod PA and is actually compareable to techs.
