Already have one Phantom and one leech. Phantom is cooking with 9500 WS pieces.
Possible I could have a 2nd one by the end of this event.
Does anybody run two Phantoms on their lineup? Was thinking of 2x Phantoms, 1 Leech, Fenrir and Ao Jun for champs for the long run.
What's your thoughts?

best set ups in descending order:
1) Igniter Halo
2) Storm Halo
3) Corona Halo
If merely one well built Phantom has a devastating impact on a match, two will increase the strength of that.

Unless you are a whale, it's a risk to invest on 2 bots of the same type. New bots come along, old get nerfed. I suspect the currently overwhelmingly OP Phantom will get heavy nerf hammer at some point, before the slightly underpowered Leech (heavy sarcasm warning), so having 2 might not be the best.

I’m running corona/halo. I tried the other combos and liked this one the most. I’m at 8,000 comps for a 2nd. That one I already have all ?flame weapons for.

Phantoms are fine. They have a counter. Leech does not. |

Running 2 is fine if you can minimize the costs. The Invader and Mender come to mind as using the same wep slots, so it's no biggie then. Just gotta get the bot up to speed.
You're also early in the cycle, so the bots have more life to them. They get nerfed after 1 year from release date, so go ahead and use 2 if that floats your boat.
It really depends on how the rest of your hanger looks like, and what you've spent your time and resources upgrading in the past year. Last year 2018, i spent 90% of my time on new bots. So i was on a hamster treadmill. Replaced my old Galahad, Lance, and Griffins, with Kumi, Haechi, and Bulg. Then onto Hover, Inky, and Spec. Then at the end of last year, it was Bulwark and 2 Avengers.
So this year, i have no good light slot weps. I can't use lots of new bots like Merc, Pursuer, Mender, Loki, Phantom, etc. etc. So this year will be more on getting a variety of weps, and minimize the time on bots. So next year i will be all good. That means I'll be weaker since i have to try and use my old bots for longer. It's almost impossible to use bots for more than 1 year let alone 2 years, but my Hover is going strong.
My Ao Jun and Tyr are at L10 and L7. Won't max them out like i usually do, just way too much time then it'll be useless soon. Gonna spend a bit more time on my Phantom, but it's a huge resource and time sink for me. Didn't realize how crappy it is, and you gotta get it up to at least L10 and L12 weps and use shotties to make it work, plus lots more on pilots and premium mods. None of my other bots get this kinda of treatment. It's insane what a princess this bot is.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was going to move my Loki's modules to my Phantom, but I know my Last Stand is going, but should I use a battleborn? One of my Phantom is going to be my beacon runner.

Will get it up to L6 after the event or soon, just so expensive Then put LSTD, maybe AC and Heavy Armor Kit. I've seen lots of different loadouts work. AC doesn't work against the new freeze weps, so i'm no longer gonna waste AU on it. Go multiple HAKs or go with multiple Thermonuclear Reactor. Depends on your playstyle. If your more ninja, then Thermonuclear Reactor is better. If your more the front door leroy jenkins running in guns blazing and dying, then go Heavy Armor Kit and AC. |

Appearance definitely matters, it's the reason I got hooked in the first place.
Luckily my cryo was the medium and I had an ork heachi. The weapon is blue at least and I put it center so it's like Haechi has horns.. I'll pull up a pic

As I do not own a second Phantom, all I can offer is build it differently from your first for the sake of variety. This includes mods, weapons, and pilot skills.

So I got my first Phantom to level 10. Even without having my pilot abilities of Defense options I am still rocking it. This bot is awesome.
He's so fast that by the time an Ares can adjust you've already ran under the pink dress and they're about dead. As a beacon Runner, I can see why he's the best.
Yesterday I capped two beacons before capping the middle Beacon before everybody else got there. And it's funny when you know that any other Bots except for Phantom that rush mid beacon will get annihilated. And this bot doesn't have his defense and offense mods yet.
Yeah I Love This bot. So I'm guessing 6 to 8 months from now we might get a Nerf on the Phantoms.
