Trivia

Phantom is a 6★ Executor Specialist who specializes in Fast-Redeploy, DPS, and Crowd-Control. As an Executor Specialist, Phantom has a base redeployment time of just 18 seconds instead of other Operators' 70–80 seconds; combined with his low DP cost of 8 (10 at Elite 1), Phantom can be deployed, retreated, and deployed over and over again every time the situation calls for it.

Talents

1. Phantom in the Mirror allows the namesake to be deployed while Phantom is deployed, which has its own redeployment time of 45 seconds that starts from the moment it was deployed.
   • The Phantom in the Mirror has similar but inferior stats to Phantom and the same skill as he does with the exact same effect, but is counted towards the Unit Limit.
2. Phantom Mastery reduces the Phantom in the Mirror's redeployment time by 10 seconds.

Skills

1. Phantom of the Night gives Phantom a good chance to dodge Physical attacks and a Barrier that absorbs Physical damage equal to a portion of his maximum HP for a short time after he is deployed.
   • Phantom of the Night allows Phantom to fulfill a similar role with Gravel, aside from tanking Arts and True damage.
2. Bloody Opus gives Phantom several instances of ATK buffs stacked additively with each other, with one instance being consumed in each attack.
   • Due to its high ATK buff in the initial attacks, Bloody Opus is excellent for use in assassinating priority targets, allowing Phantom to act similarly as Projekt Red with Execution Mode.
3. Night Raid damages all enemies in the surrounding tiles to Phantom when he is deployed, as well as pushing them back with a force of 0 and momentarily Slows, Binds, or Stuns them.
   • Night Raid is basically a superior version of Projekt Red's Wolfpack which can be used to clear out groups of enemies and interrupt enemy abilities or stalling fast-moving enemies by chance, notably Sarkaz Lancers whose deadly charge will be stopped dead in their tracks should Night Raid Stuns or Binds them, or rendered less effective if it Slows them.

Operator Modules

• The EXE-X Module, Miss Christine's Felt, refunds 80% of Phantom's current DP cost when he is retreated in addition to increasing his maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, Phantom Mastery's redeployment time reduction is increased.
  • The DP refunded with Miss Christine's Felt is quite significant and can help compensating Phantom's escalating DP cost from being redeployed multiple times.
• The EXE-Y Module, "Think of Me", increases Phantom's ATK by 10% if there are no friendly units in the adjacent tiles to him in addition to increasing his ATK less than Miss Christine's Felt and DEF. Once upgraded, Phantom and the Phantom in the Mirror have their ATK increased by 10% when both are deployed, and the Mirror has its stats increased at Stage 3.

Base skill

Specialist Expert α speeds up the skill Specialization training of Specialists by 30% while Phantom is assigned as the trainer in the Training Room. At Elite 2, Specialist Expert α becomes Masked Phantom with a higher training speed boost of 60%.

Summary

Overall, Phantom is more of a tactical instead of core Operator as with other Executor Specialists, but he is the most versatile among them as he can fulfill just about every role from assassination, distraction, and disruption.

Those who looked deeply into Phantom's eyes beneath the moonless sky will never see their deaths coming.
