Overview

The Phantom Class handles three special weapons: Katana Katanas, RifleAssault Rifles, and RodRods; as well as GunbladeGunblades, common to all classes.
All are existing weapons, but when equipped as a Phantom, their movesets have a completely different behavior in terms of Normal Attacks, Weapon Actions, Dodge Actions, and Photon Arts.
Phantoms cannot use any of the existing PAs for these weapon types (even for weapons that have a built-in PA cannot be used). Therefore, the behavior and PAs relating to these weapon types are discussed in separate pages.
Phantom PAs can only be used by Phantom as a Main Class. They cannot be used even when equipped with those types as Phantom Subclass.

  • The biggest feature is the "Shift PA" system to their three main weapon types.
    When using a PA from a Weapon Action, the attack itself changes completely, allowing for versatile methods of attacking enemies.
    • In text form, if only the PA name is written, this refers to the normal version, and if it says "Shift (PA Name)", this refers to the Shift version.
      Alternatively, they can also be distinguished by abbreviations such as "N (PA Name)" and "S (PA Name)". Example: Kugelsturm -> (N) Kugel / S Kugel
  • There is also a feature that all three weapon types possess that allows them to deal DoT, called "Place PAs".


Features of Phantom Katana

In the case of a 2-button layout, the palette is 3-button combo based.
However, unlike other combo based weapon types, the Weapon Action does not reset the combo, so the Shift PA is not only available at the beginning of the palette, but in all PAs set on it.

  • Normal Attack
    • Both the 1st and 3rd attacks have a very long animation, and if used in the air, the player will continue to stay in the air for the duration of the action without falling. Since the Perfect Attack window continues to be shown from immediately after the attack until the end of the animation.
    • Can be canceled by movement and by Weapon Action around the time when the Perfect Attack window is shown.
      Can also be canceled by dodging at any time before and after a quick attack.
  • Weapon Action
Icon Uncharged Charged Quick Cut
UIWAPhKatana.png Potency 720
PP Recovery Amount 3 15
Feature Small Range Medium Range
  • Has short invulnerability when pressed. (Common to all Phantom Weapon Actions)
  • The Uncharged version fires off slashes up to a medium range ahead.
    • Has a frontal cone range and is a little shorter than 2 Phantom Sidesteps.
    • Unlike Rifles and Rods, the attack comes out slower.
  • The Charged version fires off slashes up to a medium range ahead. The player cannot move and stays in the air while charging. Detonates the Phantom Marker.
    • Has the same potency and range as the uncharged version.
    • Unlike Rifles and Rods, there are no Guard Frames and Invulnerability when activated.
  • Quick Cut (Skill Acquisition Required)
    • When equipped with a Katana, if you perform a Weapon Action at a specific timing at the end of a Normal Attack and PAs, you will quickly approach the locked-on target while performing the Weapon Action.
    • If the target is within reachable distance, the player will track towards it, but if the target is too far away, the player will not track vertically. Has long invulnerability, decent potency and PP recovery.
    • The timing for Quick Cut is different for each action, and a unique sound effect with a blue flash effect is made.
    • Note that this is a Weapon Action, meaning that any PAs activated afterwards will be a Shift PA.
    • Quick Cut will not allow you to charge it for Marker Detonation.
  • Sidestep Strike
    • Cuts down from above while moving forward. If performed while near a locked-on target, you will advance much closer.
    • At around 11 Frames, only the front has a Guard Point, which is also a safety net in case of misplaced Sidesteps.
