Both the Phantom and Interceptor fall into the same category of Maneuverable ships. Both want to arc dodge to have the advantage. So the simple answer is to always have the other Pilot Skill ships move first so you may use the decloak or Push the Limit to get into a superior position. This is a new territory for the Phantom to be in as they have not had to worry so much about this in the past since most other ps 9 ships had a turret on it.
We have lived in the world of high PS and now will see a new layer on this meta of getting low on points. 100pts will almost always be a bad idea as some of the better players are already shedding points from their list. 98pts or lower will be the norm very soon. Meanwhile the Darth Vader Crew card sits in waiting laughing at the effort aboard a Decimator with all these squishy targets.
So i am being a hispter now because i was going 98 points for months ![]()
We even had a guy who dropped to 94 to assure init. He was running swarm tactics han solo tough. So he had surely the edge against phantoms.
