is switching to the phantom the strat

ethan switches to the phantom -> becomes insane and makes champs
sato switches to the phantom -> top duelist in americas
trexx switches to the phantom -> wins emea
jinggg switches to the phantom -> wins masters

You switch to phantom, hit 140 and die -> switches back to Vandal.

I mean, I also switched to the Phantom and went from Silver 3 to Gold 2 within an act

Phantom objecticely better but its down to comfort what u use

tbh, i started playing phantom last act and went from immo1/2 to 400 rr, phantom is just better than vandal, more versatile and less punishing but at the end of the day it all comes down to what u feel more comfortable with

Playstyle/ agent dependent for me.

For more heavy, movement based duelists like Raze or Neon I'd normally go Phantom.

Most other situations I'd prefer a vandal. Unless I know I'm gonna be doing a lot of smoke spam, then again phantom

for me it just depeneds how im feelin
90% of the time id be on vandal but there are some days when shit aint going my way or im just ass so i switch to the phantom :)
but when you feelin it, vandal is just so satisfying
