comes to be 100 even.

Tricky little thing i Learned today is that the SPA that echo uses can trigger his/her PTL use an action (Stress) Green move clear stress and other action. Although the same post said to take Recon Spec over Captive. I just thought the stress might be more of a dissinsentive to attack in to that 2 focuses (foci?)

Yeah, you *can* do this, but Echo really wants Advanced Cloaking device. SPA + PTL allows for a nice opening trick, but then next turn, Echo is decloaked and can't use his awesome decloak banks. He's gonna get focus-fired at that point. Although perhaps moving in with Whisper in front to draw attention might help. I discounted as 'gimmicky' and never bothered to try it, although I did ask Theorist about it once and his opinion was that you can get essentially the same thing with advanced sensors + PTL + advanced cloaking, and its even better because you can do it every single turn. But there's no harm in trying it out, of course.

when i fly echo like this i will probably fly it like a hit-and-run Corran horn tactics. Shoot one turn use next to re position, then shoot the following. although i do like the Advanced sensors PTL ACD idea as well.

u wot m8? 1v1 me irl

But seriously, wish there was a way to get Zeta Ace in there instead of DC to use those lovely 2-straight barrel rolls for more trolling.

Whisper/Echo/Dark Curse is an old list at this point, I think... In fact, I remember reading about a couple of people pre-phantom nerf that went to a tournament with 86 pt. Whisper/Echo builds and did quite well...

Yep, there were 2 versions (86 and 87 pts) and they were basically responsible for the decloak nerf ;)

Echo becomes very predictable though does he not? Phantom dial doesn't have a lot of green on it.

Echo is the least predictable of the phantoms because of using the soft 2 to decloak. yes its true it doesn't have the most green on it. but you go in to each combat without stress on there.

Decloak

-Evade from SPA

--PTL (second action)

---Stress

Green move

Action

Granted you'll go in to combat and end combat not cloaked, but with an evade, a focus and a Barrel Roll, you won't be in too many arcs, and you have the evade and focus to help mitigate the damage taken.. AS WELL AS the knowledge of approximately where they'll be when they move.

Theoretically you can Decloak block their action by causing a bump then move and barrel roll to have arc on them. (granted this will not happen often, but theoretically possible.
