This came up last week in a game. This was the first time since the new decloaking rules were introduced that we encountered a ionized cloaked phantom.

In the past, if a Phantom was cloaked and ionized, it was unable to decloak by virtue of not having dial to reveal.

Now, the new rules make no mention of the movement dial before decloaking. It does clarify that if stressed, you may still decloak.

The way we played it, was the Decloaking took place at the start of activation (still ionized).

Resolved the dials, including the ion effects.

Is this correct? We're still trying to get used to the new sequence with the Phantoms (it really does seems to balance them better). It was tough to luckily land a ion on the Phantom, only to have it still get away (some predictability, but not perfect in terms of nailing it down).

Yiu got it right. Under the new rules a phantom can decloak while ionized.

thanks for the reply.

For all the complaints about Phantoms being nerfed, this is one area where they benefited from the changes.

A fairly limited one, though
