 they are the only health based enemy immune to both abilities, but are vulnerable to stasis.  is this a bug, or "working as intended"?

I love batting them away and then shattering them. It's very, very satisfying lol.

But the paladin isn't broken or anything.

Oh not at all. Bugged 2x damage cryo explosions on 3 targets on a ridiculously short cooldown that goes through walls and effects all protection types is perfectly acceptable.

Paladin needs some major patching, but Cryo blast should be buffed to behave the same as Snap Freeze IMO. As in, make it prime anything.

I always thought it would be cool if the game allowed you to try to grab phantoms, but then she'd turn it around on you and grab kill you instead.

Quite simply because she's the boss unit of a faction.

Why would they make it so you can insta kill a boss unit with let's say a level 1 Human Adept wielding a Predator IV?

Granted I do agree with the lack of freezing however. If she can be captured by a stasis why not frozen when her barrier is eradicated?

Cryo Shield on a Paladin will freeze them, but your question is still valid. You SHOULD be able to freeze them.

Grabbing them though, I dunno. Maybe they're just too Ninja to be grabbed.

No point then. Once you know it you will not try it again. 50/50 chance would be more reasonable. And depending on the character grabbing.

Only if we could similarly turn the tables on instakill bull****.

Like say... with the Shadow?


And yes, to the original question, they should be freezable by all freezing things if their barrier's down.

Just imagine what would happen if you embraced that soft skin and those firm buttocks. You wouldn't be able to bring yourself to kill her.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for a ninja to be able to escape magnet hands.
Especially on a krogan.

When you get smacked in the head with a shovel your gonna go down no matter what kind of martial artist you are.  

Shadow should be able to grab the Phantom then.

Shhhhhhhh OP. They'll probably give her armour instead of health in the next patch if you keep asking difficult questions.

They should allow cryo blast and snap freeze to work on unshielded phantoms. When they buffed the Geth Pyro so you couldn't grab one over cover, their reasoning was that you shouldn't be able to grab an armored target. So why can't you freeze a target with health? She can already block powers with her nope bubble. On top of that, their on-host DR is really frustrating when you're playing as certain kits.
As for grabbing Phantoms over cover, you rarely get the opportunity from the way they flank you but you'd expect a space ninja to be able to counter such a move.

They're too fat, just like Pyros.

I think they should be vulnerable to freezing and grabs.... the b!tch can't weigh more than 90lbs... squirm all she wants, most characters in this game could sling her around like a Brute slams a Volus.

Yup I could see it now you grab the phantom then suddenly the screen flips to her sync kill because the game is so very broken it isn't even funny :whistle:
