I switched from PS to SB to save on PCs and because I'm trying to run my Phantom more cautiously now. If you play it right, the PS can be a bit redundant, but if you're a brawler, it's a life saver.

I got stuck facing off against a pair of them in my RDB Raven (out of jumps and low on rockets...), and man, was that aggravating.

Your either a Phantom or Leech lover Can't be both. . Leech is boring. I have one that I try to run only against other leeches/spawn raids or when we’re down and need some serious help. I’d trade it for a phantom in a heart beat. I have two I kept but only run one and like you it normally only comes out to fight other leeches or normally as a last bot if the game goes there. I do like to run two Phantoms though! Leech is boring to me as well.

Most of the high level ones I see in champs run maxed last stand and then also phase shift. Almost unkillable at that point with a good person piloting them.Also most top ones I see are running some sort of shot gun build. Yes i run storm gust ..PS 2 battle born and last stand lvl 5 and its a beast.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? The invulnerable raider has been awesome....but maybe the Scourge isn't bueno? Corona didn't work too far as you dash in. I'm hoping to spin road hog next skill..... Get to atleast 9. Last stand if you have it will give you a second life basically. Mechanic and Road Hog seem to make a lot of difference. Still won't be as tough as the MK2 guys, but having those skills added to list atleast lets you be competitive. Mine is at 9 with L12 Storm (just switched from L9 Corona) L10 Halo. I'm taking the Halo to L12 then Phantom to L12.

I've been running my Phantom with a Storm since yesterday. I get a few more kills. I'm using the Blink button a lot more efficiently so I last a lot longer than before. The problem is that the level 8 Storm and level 7/6 Halos don't do enough damage. I get a lot of Beacons then I almost have to suicide to get into another bot to increase my kill and damage. I know I need to keep leveling my weapons, but is there a better combo? I imagine Wasp is better in pairs and I'm saving it for my Leech. I'm a little hesitant to start upgrading my Igniter. It's a lot of resources. It's a lot of fun and the hit and run is a hoot but it's easy to get caught up in the battle and forget to watch the meter and stay past transport opportunity.

Update: Phantom is a blast! I'm a little more use to the mechanics of the bot now and my Storm is level 9 and my Halos are level 8. I can take down almost any bot. A T-fal takes a couple of runs, but I can do it. Chip, chip chippin' away. When my health gets low I just suicide usually taking a Red or turning the Beacon in the process. I've got Triple Kill so far. Could I get Godlike? Time will tell.

Do not use Wasp on a hit and run bot use things that give massive burst damage like shot or rocket builds. Wasp are slow output. As for igniter I run one with halos on a Phantom and it rocks IMO.

So I ran my level 8 Phantom yesterday using two Rimes level 9 and and ignite level seven. Got destroyed, but I can understand that I don't have all my pilot skills yet and I'm still waiting for my level 9 to appear so I can add all my mods.
But I'm not impressed with the glacial Rimes...or maybe they need to be L12 before they are useful?

But I'm not impressed with the glacial Rimes...or maybe they need to be L12 before they are useful? I'd only use one rime and mix it with something else (like a halo or shredder), since all you want is the debuff, and it's pretty much a pinata otherwise That's the thing about all of the cryo, none of them are any better than the other when it comes to nailing the debuff

Now I just need to complete his robot build and make him stronger. Ty for the strat!
