Pretend there is nothing else in the wave budget.  You are going to be fighting Phantoms and you can only carry one weapon and won't have a power to help you.

What do you carry?

Pugs, mostly.

[OniGanon]

Adas.

But if you're looking for a sidearm to deal with Phantoms, go with Acolyte or Scorpion.

[Amusingthree93]

Acolyte/Falcon/Scorpion. Not much choice really.

OP, you will probably get more interesting discussion if instead of weapons, you asked for what powers people would bring with them to kill phantoms.

Alcolyte

Reetard Carbine
N7 Valkyrie (QMS, tacscanned with headshot evo, headshot bonus on Marksman, Targeting VI III and Vulnerability VI V, makes them a joke if you hit this head since all HS bonuses apply).

I guess you are looking to take down Phantoms faster, Dave?

Yep, was in a situation last night where I needed to clutch and had a mob of phantoms and dragoons circling in on me.  My Harrier wasn't getting the job done, so looking for a second weapon to carry for this situation.  I tried the Acolyte but I must be using it wrong, because it takes me 4 shots to kill a phantom with it.  With charge up time, that isn't going to work.

Proably more interesting, but not more helpful to me since my problem is when I'm using my Geth Trooper

This has actually happend to me twice on wave 10 gold. It happens when you kill of the wrong (or right) enemies first (I think).
The first was just phantoms and the second was phantoms and atlases( imagine fighting 4 phantoms and 2 atlases at all times).

Yeah, I saw your thread on this and made me think of a very similar situation for me last night.  It was Phantoms and Dragoons though.

Acolyte to remove barriers then shoot her with the Harrier.  If you swop weps fast enough she'll still be staggered.

I find I need two shots to strip the phantom shields.  My Acolyte III doesn't do enough damage on its own. I could use gear or a pistol amp I guess.  Of course the Harrier would probably be enough to take out those few remaining shields, so not a big deal.

Likely because your Alcolyte is low-level.
With your arsenal I would suggest Falcon. its at level VI, correct?

[Dimlor]

Falcon...

[Lauro Baptista]

I play with them using the "Lash" (Biotic Power) with "shield penetration." With this, they get from one side to the other without being able to attack. It is very entertaining.

[Tokenusername]

I would take the targeting laser linked to all fleet weapon systems.

[Deerber]

If your aim is quite good, either Javelin or Black Widow.

If it's not and you care more for safety than time, falcon.

If it's not and you care more for time than safety, scorpion.

Ah, in that case, you should consider drill ammo.

Phantoms love to take cover and hide, and nothing hides from geth trooper with drill rounds 

EDIT: I almost forgot. The geth trooper's heavy melee is very good. The hunter mode will ensure that you will see phantoms before they see you. Purge your fortification, run up to the phantom and then heavy melee. The geth heavy melee doesnt need to lock on to any enemies, fires in all 360 degrees and has a decent radius meaning you can melee the phantom from a safe range. It works pretty well. As stujh mentioned below, the geth heavy melee works a little bit like tech armour.

Strip shields and prime with acolyte, adas or whatever. Get in close. Tech Armour.
Sorry. Couldn't resist it, and I did try.

[Deerber]

By the way, a fundamental question which I'm not sure anyone asked already: are you hosting?

Wouldn't the acolyte work fine in that case?  Acolyte+Flamer eats phantoms for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  They go down pretty easy to a melee build if that is what your doing also.

I checked with Narida. http://narida.pytalh...yte3BK5AA1/////

With an Acolyte 3, you do seem to come up just short of the 3075 damage to take out a gold phantom's shields.  Adding on either a l1 consumable or pistol damage boosting gear would do it I think.

Honestly, just 1 shot+ letting the flamer melt the last few shields would probably be OK. And melee bypasses shield gate anyway.

Probably  the easist thing is to just get 1 more acolyte, which shouldn't be THAT bad.

Scorpion is the best anti-phantom sidearm I think.   Falcon/Adas work, but take for freaking ever to kill one.

What do you carry?

So much reading comprehension fail in this thread. Over half the posts mention using a power of one sort or another.
