Phantom

Should you pull?

CONSIDER IT — worthwhile if you lack a Water AR Attacker to counter Fire; not a priority if you already own a stronger AR Attacker of the same element or rarely face Fire-heavy content.

Phantom is a Water Attacker using an assault rifle, burst slot III, focused on marking targets and punishing them.

• Normal attacks on unmarked Raptures apply "Calling Card" (DEF -32.19% for 5s) and stack "Thief's Dagger" (Hit Rate +25.75%, up to 3 stacks); attacking a marked target grants +75.17% Attack Damage for 1 round.
• Her burst "Secret Trick" deals 1457.28% of final ATK as Distributed Damage to all enemies, on a 40-second cooldown.

Good for PvE/boss fights needing DEF shred and a strong AoE finisher; weakness is that the mark and dagger stacks reset if focus isn't kept on one target. Tier B, no notable survivability tools.

Prioritize Burst (Secret Trick: Rampage of Thieves) for its massive AoE Distributed Damage (1457.28% final ATK) to all enemies; then S1 (Thief's Calling Card) since it both lowers enemy DEF and stacks Thief's Dagger for bonus damage on marked targets; S2 (Thief's Vision) is lower priority as a secondary payoff mechanic triggered when the dagger stacks fully.

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst, per common AR Attacker priority): 4/4/4 → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10. Why: prioritize Skill 1 (core damage) and Burst equally, with Skill 2 lowest if it's a secondary effect.

Strengths

• Water counters Fire, giving her strong performance against Fire-element enemies.
• Her AR balances range, damage, and fire rate, adapting well to many situations.
• Steady DPS throughout a fight when landing core hits consistently.

Weaknesses

• Needs consistent core hits to reach peak efficiency, dropping off sharply against evasive or mobile enemies.
• No burst-damage spike like SMG/RL Attackers, less effective in fast one-shot content.
• Competes for the AR Attacker slot with several other meta units of the same weapon type.
