I'm not saying "NERF THEM, PHANTOMS TOO OP!!!" because I usually kill them pretty easily, but I don't like it when they one-hit you with the katana when you're no less than 2 meters away from them. It looks bad, and I can't help but find it really insulting when a weak enemy kills you like that.

[Tangster]

You'd prefer it if the animation was a decapitation?

[count_4]

Well, obviously they aren't as weak as you think if they can insta-kill you, are they?

[TheShizno]

No he is saying that he hates when you are 2m away from them and the game either teleports you to them or it stops you from moving.
I was once charging at a phantom, did nova and followed by heavy melee and her health bar dropped to 0. She still did the animation and killed me and we both fell dead right as she was done.

[Trinity66]

My Krogan should grab two phantoms each in one hand and smash their heads together. Instead if I'm not carefull and don't charge properly and miss them they stab me just like that. But I don't mind their insta-kill meelee, i hate their hand cannons on gold. Why they have to be a nightmare from all distances?

Exactly. It doesn't happen all the time (usually they just try regular attack or they use their palm-gun) but occasionally it happens, and it's annoying as hell. You have one or two of them about polished off and suddenly you get magnetized toward a Phantom and die.

What's even better is reviving yourself, holding down A to storm to cover and the phantom will suck you in from 5 feet away and instakill you right out of revive. Happened at least 10 times to me.

Yeah, this happens a few times to me, too.

[Purple Protector]

guys, his problem is not the instant kill. It's the attacks melee lunge. And I agree with that. Sometimes you magically slide from like 10 feet away to the Phantom's instant kill animation.
Same problem with the Atlas instant kill, btw.

That does suck, but you could always leave reviving yourself a few secs longer........

I've noticed that if they don't instant kill you, a lot of times they'll wait around until you ARE dead. Sometimes they'll even cloak and wait for someone to come revive you and then instant kill them too.

They need to be given troll faces. <_<

I do like that instant kill stab animation. It's just "trololo u dead" in your face

[tachycardia]

Wait...you feel insulted by them?

FACT: the reason they're so deadly on gold is because they're played by Robert Downey Jr. He's a master phantom.

Hint: Hold heavy melee as you revive yourself. You will pop up and smash that phantom in the face, giving you a chance to run away.

And the "dragged from 10 feet away" is a lag issue. I've done the same thing to a nemesis that was trying to run away from the cover I'd just caught her behind. She slid 10 feet back into cover just so I could grab her.

Also, I've lived through the insta-kill before. It happens if you get your shields back RIGHT as the animation starts. Happened as a Krogan twice, and as a Salarian Infiltrator once (Energy Drain'd her right before she started, ended up living through the animation)

Try doing that with 4 phantoms running around on gold. *Samuel Jackson face* I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA MOTHA ****A

You know what this reminds me of?

Anyone remember the scene in the original Jaws film where the mayor is trying to explain to Chief Brody about even mentioning a shark attack off the shores of Amity?  

Mayor- Martin, It's all psychological. You yell 'Barracuda,' everybody says 'Huh? What?' You yell 'Shark,' and we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July!

It's almost like when someone's character class will yell,  "Nemesis!"  Everyone is like, pftt.........big deal, take it out.  But when some says "PHANTOM!", and you see those purple letters moving in your vicinity..............they might as well be playing the theme from Jaws whenever she shows up. 

And the way she approaches you, sort of like the way you would see a shark's fin gliding through the water and moving steadily but purposefully towards you. 

Dum, dum, dum,dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum............................

Except they usually just sit there to charge their barrier back up.

Well, some people like eating sharks, and some like chasing down Phantoms. Regardless of my class, whenever I see that purple barrier bar and the name 'Phantom' stamped over it, I usually start running, or aiming, in that direction. I'll only run away if I'm low on health, ammo, or all squad members are lying at the feet of that Phantom.

The animation itself is very good, but the circumstances are bad. You cannot move and she blovk your from 2 meters.

[Crimzoneyed]

Phantoms can kill??? I though they just jumped around without doing anything, I always charge+nova+charge and they are dead so I never got killed by them, I always though they were more dangerous than nemisis, but the nemisis have at least been able to hurt me some times
