 I vote hand cannon, Insta kill is pretty easy to avoid and the only time it happens to me anymore is when they sneak up behind me and do it on the first hit.

The hand cannon on the other hand always destroys me. It always throws me off balance when playing my turian that one little sneaky beam can take down my shields insantly and health almost as quick.

I hate their mind bullets far more than their stabby ability.

I'm not sure if i'm just lucky or something, but they almost never insta kill stab me.

I'm 50/50. I hate getting shot by them, and it happens more often so that's what I usually find myself raging over, but I REALLY hate being instantly made un-revivable.

Stabby instakill can only happen if you're not moving. I vote hand cannon, since they'll prang you with it regardless.

Its a tie for me. Sometimes when I'm trying to fend off Troopers/Guardians and they come and shank there blades into me? Annoyance overload.

And there weapon is pretty annoying too. I can be a distance away from a Phantom and then I just...die.

Hand cannon by a long long way - really dislike that thing.

Shots do not instakill you. Their melee does, hence why the latter is worse. They can even execute their insta-melee-kill when your Vanguard is in midair during the Charge animation (those ladies have insane reflexes ;)

Its ridiculous and should be removed from the game. Getting killed because you made a mistake is how you learn, getting killed randomly without anything the player can do to stop or avoid it is horrible design.

Hand cannons by far, I can't even seem to dodge them. Couple that with the insane damage it does and it just tears me apart.

Obviously the insta-kill. You can med-gel up from being shot.
Of course, you can attempt to roll out of the Phantom's hands if you're fast enough.

Hand Cannon. Especially when the Phantom has company. Because the Hand Cannon disables your shields and the rest kills you.

Hand canon. If you shoot her sword she can't stab you anymore.. true story, read it in a tool tip. :P

I'd say the insta-kill stabby thing, cause it prevents me from sneaking in and stealth reviving her last victim, or it just creates a pile of bodies of people that are unaware that she sees right through cloaks. Either way....good times

 I curious what their ranged attack actually is. Is it a biotic bullet or something else? It hurts like hell.

edit: I dont know why I thought its an Atlas thread.

talking phantoms, still, the freaking hand cannon.
So I heard you have shields. Lol nope, last stripe of health.

and the basic fact:
I got instakilled like 20 times, and handcannoned 500 times.

It's probably a Carnifax shot, or something.

On gold, I hate the ranged attack more than the insta-kill. It's easy to gain distance from phantoms, but those shots hurt like hell. Phantoms usually have no chance of getting close - unless they managed to drop your shields, force you into cover, and keep firing that damn gun while they advance.

On Bronze and Silver, the OHOK is by far the more annoying attack - they don't use the gun that often on these difficulties, and they don't drop your shields with a single shot.

Hand cannon. It's funny really. The power of a sniper, very accurate, useable on your wrist, and no need for thermal clips? Why doesn't Shep have one.

That's not correct.  The stab attack can occur during movement.  I've been moving -away- from Phantoms at least a few strides' distance and been drawn in and murdered.  Nothing more annoying then being in the vacinity of a Phantom and being sucked in for death like some sort of moving singularity.

Neither tbh. Just their plain melee attack. If she manages to sneak up close to the party or inbetween, unless stasised asap, its an almost guaranteed party slaughter. Whoever survives, panics and dies by over mobs elsewhere.

Melee insta-kill.

(1) You cannot be revived after the insta-kill and have to wait for the next wave. If you're the last man standing on your team (as I often am) it's game over.

(2) The hand cannon makes a very distinctive sound. You can hear it two blocks away, and avoid it easily. It also does less damage & has less range than the Nemesis' red laser snipe.

(3) You should be running away from Phantoms mostly even if you're a specialized Phantom-killer. The only times you would die to them is when they sneak up on you or box you in a corner - that's where the melee insta-kill comes in. This is especially true on Gold, because you will be swarmed by Phantoms from every side and reviving squadmates near Phantoms all the time.

The instant kill is just cheap and should be tweaked, if not removed, Tie it to some animation, allow us to evade it. As it stands, you're helplessly locked in place as she kills you and it doens't even allow you to res on top of it.

Several times today I've been moving away from her only to have her teleport me a few meters back to grasp her as the animation starts playing.

They should be lethal in melee, I don't mind that, but for gods sake, give us a fightning chance here. Allow us to evade/interupt it.

Handcannon, ... unless they stabbity stab me, then obviously I hate that more, though that happens rarely.


But nothing can compete with my borderline obsessive hate on Combat Engineers. Stupid C-Engis, planting their stupid turrets everywhere, I'll get you for that someday, just you wait!

The melee attack, because their shots never kill you permanently.
