Seriously. Every damn time a phantom just instantly kills me and I can't do anything. Whenever I see a phantom I **** myself hoping it won't kill me with me having no chances but no, just turns invisible and comes from behind -__-
And yea, I'm a krogan playing with my friend who's an asari adept. So don't just say "headbutt it" or "stasis it"

I think they're a fun opponent to fight, its the only one that gives you the "OH CRAP!" feeling when your being forced into a corner by two of them. They're not hard to kill if theres an Asari adept on the team, or an Infiltrator.

I had one insta-kill me whilst it was at the bottom of the Noveria staircase and I was at the top. I got dragged into its clutch then one shotted

Honestly? Shoot it ;-)  I've found they do not like to perform their kill move while under fire.  So keep up the suppressing fire.  Even if you're not doing much damage, keep it under fire until a teammate can hit it with biotics or or tech attacks.  I've saved teammates from phantoms by shooting at it w/ my shotgun even when I was way out of normal shotgun range.  Even when it was barely making its barriers flicker, it was enough to make the phantom keep dodging and moving around.

Phantoms are fine. The only time you will get executed is if you are out of position anyway.

[capn233]

I think if you look into a Phantom's eyes you should be instantly turned to stone.

[SNascimento]

They need to stay the way they are.

I love Phantoms! They get your adrenaline pumping real good when you realize one is running straight for you.

Plus they're easy as long as you're aware of your surroundings.

They should remove the insta-kill attack, but substantially buff the normal Phantom melee, so that they remain extremely dangerous up close without incurring the weird bugs where you are insta-killed on resurrect or insta-killed at range.

Insta-kills are a dumb way to increase the games difficulty.

I have no problem with the instant kills, I have no problem with the 1 melee swing that removes my entire shield as a krogan soldier. Hell I have no problem with the god damn hand cannon they wield with more power then a widow. my problem is they are immune to my heavy melee i.e. I hit them first, they lose no barrier and are not stunned and proceed to immediately 1 shot me because the game failed to count my mechanic.

The melee not working bugs needs to be fixed by launch.

Really?  I was going to suggest to the devs that they add a 5% chance that your shuttle gets shot down on the way into the mission killing your team before it even starts.  Would add some realism...

This.

Also, they should make it so the instant kill just downs you. Not being able to be revived just makes it so much worse. And the Krogran melee is just so buggy it slides past the enemies 9/10 times -___-

[KayB1991]

Ended up self reviving and right after I did, the phantom decided to do its sword execution on me -_____- waste of a perfect medigel

[Night Wraith]

It keeps happening to me more and more. The worst is when after you are revived and then it sucks you in.

[McBeath]

They're not difficult at all. You just need to know how to deal with them or try to have a balanced party. Stasis works well, Krogan are good. Try a Vanguard.

I just charge, roll backwards and shoot, charge, roll backwards and shoot, ect. Once thier barrier is down they'll try to run, but if you hit them again they'll go down. Easy, and worth lots of xp.

Cheers. McBeath,

Stay out of melee range?

[Yippie-kai-ay]

Instant kills should not leave you completely dead. They should incapacitate you, and either force a teammate to save you, or use a medi-gel. It should still take you down in one hit, just not completely out.

This would keep the challenge without ruining everything just because one got the drop on you.

I love the phantoms. They're an unpredictable element. ie, more fun.

[WizenSlinky0]

Allow them to come just close enough to begin their sword attack animation and immediatly move backwards, at the end of their animations they will pause briefly, opening them up to a heavy melee.

I'd still suggest taking them down from range though if you can help it.

You just got stabbed through the heart...
Krogan, I think should be able to revive from a phantom heavy melee, just to fit with lore.
