1.1 Introduction
Phantom is one of the five heroes who sealed away the Black Mage and is part of the Thief branch.
Using a Cane and Throwing Cards, Phantom has the unique ability to steal skills from other Explorers(except Special Explorers) as well as from monsters.
1.2 Background Story
A century ago, he was famous among the wealthy merchants and nobleman. He deliberately left traces when stealing, and even then people did not know who he was. They called him "Phantom"
| “ | The world she believed in isn't dead yet. I won't let anyone bury her dreams! | ” |
— Phantom
Throughout the Maple World, Phantom was honored. However, the death of Aria, the Empress before Cygnus, with whom he had fallen in love with while trying to steal the great treasure of Ereve, caused him to join the Heroes to take revenge on the Black Mage. He seeked one of the Heroes, Freud, for an invitation, and he was most welcome. After a fierce battle, he and the other four Heroes sealed away Black Mage and saved the Maple World. However, due to the curse inflicted by Black Mage, all heroes except Freud, who died in the battle, were trapped in ice and went into a deep sleep.
A hundered years later, Phantom reawakens from the curse. He infiltrated Ereve, where a meeting is being held. Hilla, a commander of the Black Wings poses as an Empress by showing a Skaia (a jewel said to glow in the hands of the Empress) that glows in her hands but doesn't glow in Cygnus's.
Luckily, Phantom comes to the rescue. He calls the Skaia held by Hilla a fake and destroys it, saying that the real Skaia is in his hands. This causes Hilla to back off and flee from Ereve, although she tells him that the Maple World is already in "his" hands. Phantom then gives Cygnus the real Skaia and return to the Crystal Garden/

2.1 Playing Style
Phantom have a dynamic playing style, due to the fact that they can steal any skill they can that support the play style.
Few of the more known play style
1. Buffer
2. DPSer
3. Wide hitboxer
4. Max Damager
5. Capper
Ususally I would prefer and recommend going Buffing and DPSing. Wide Hitbox gives you the advatage in mobbing, which is usually good during leveling phase. As for Max Damager and Capper you will need more funds than other 3.
