Fantasma review (In depth)

[MarandaC]

After the many messages I have recieved in the game, I decided to make this post. I will be talking about the new pet Fantasma. This is my first statistical post. I am not an expert at this and this may not be 100% correct.

Fantasma is a unicorn, which is new to Arlor. The stats are pretty good especially after the buff. Stats are shown below:


It changes its abilities of course, heres the stats at a higher level:



It also adds a bunch of damage to your characters stats.

Here is my character without pet:



Here it is with Fanstasma:


You can see the huge damage increase
It gives more damage than my ARCANE pet



Okay, now besides stats lets look at its arcane ability.
It is basically like a mini-nekro. It gives a shield. These shields do different things depending on its color. If it is green, it adds health to your character every time you cause damage to something. The blue does the same thing except instead of health, it adds mana. The yellow adds both mana and health. Red reflects damage.

I have noticed that sometimes the aa doesn't give a shield to anybody, or it sometimes only gives to a few. I'm pretty sure this is a bug considering the aa says it gives four colored shields. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

The shield lasts about 8 seconds. When the aa bugs out and only gives one shield, I've seen it last only 2-3 seconds. If it gives more than one shield, it lasts 8 seconds. (At least for me it does) The cooldown for the aa lasts 20 seconds.

The shields do work. I don't really notice if the green one add health, but thats probably because I'm spamming pots and using shadow piercer which adds health, so I don't really notice. But the blue one definitely does give mana. It gives a lot actually. I'll have like 15% mana when I use aa and it will go all the way up to 100% after the shield disappears. Yellow also does work. I'm also not too sure about red since it reflects and I can't really tell if it works or not, but I'm pretty sure it does.

The green shield seems to only heal for a very small percentage of damage dealt. I'll have it up, use aimed shot and deal 2000 damage. Then only be healed for 50 or 60 health.

Its AA seems to be
bugged, The shield lasts only 2-4 secs and if I do one hit or get one hit the shield dies immediately.
Also I hate that it always gives the green shield to the owner which just gives you 40 health and then vanishes.

Correction:
The green shield does work, but only gives around 40-60 health.

I absolutely love the aa. It is extremely helpful and has stopped me from dying multiple times.

Pros:
-Sheilds that give benefits to all players
-The movement speed
-Damage increase
-It heals as a passive

Cons:
-Very fast shield duration compaired to Nekro
-Possibly has a bugged aa
-Movement speed also seems bugged (I'm not too sure about this so I didn't go that in depth about it in post, but I have noticed that I go the same speed as people with other pets. I used to notice a difference when I first used pet, not anymore though.)

I hope this helped you figure out whether or not its worth it to open the egg! This is my new favorite pet :D

Below are some pictures of the aa being used:

I used it in a town just to test it out before using it. As you can see, the shield has a far range since there is someone with a blue shield pretty far behind me.


This is in wt4, the aa only worked on 3 people


As you can see, even though I am right next to the pet, I didn't get the shield

Hope you enjoy the new pet!!
