Originally, the thief hero, Phantom, was a famous thief, able to steal anything he wanted. However, the death of a loved one (Aria, a previous Empress), led him on the path of the hero!

This video features Phantom’s past, including the death of Aria and Phantom joining the rest of the heroes!

This is the new character creation screen, putting a large emphasis on the classes changed/added in Justice! Phantom has 1 Rate of Growth and 3 Potential, Flexibility, and Difficulty.

Like the classes added in the Legend update, you can choose either gender when you create a Phantom.

Phantom’s base is the flying ship Crystal Garden! It hosts his many maids and also his butler Alfred. It allows him to move discretely throughout the Maple World. By talking to the Captain, Crystal Garden will fly to any destination Phantom desires.

Phantom’s tutorial involves him going undercover in Ereb, during a conference with one of the Black Mage’s commanders, Hilla. Hilla gives Cygnus the treasure of Ereb, the Skaia, a jewel that is said to glow in the hands of an Empress. However, it does not glow when Cygnus holds it, and Hilla insists that she is the rightful Empress!

This video plays during the tutorial. Phantom reveals himself and proves the Skaia that Hilla had was a fake. The skills that Phantom used look really cool! Karma, Hyper Body, and Hurricane! There are now English subtitles! If you don’t see them, try pressing the CC button.

Phantom has two weapons! The first is the Cane, his main weapon. Phantom’s attacking skills use this, and in addition, the Cane can change into any type of weapon, which is used when Phantom steals skills from other classes. The secondary weapon is the Cards, which are thrown by Phantom in some of his skills. These Cards can have potential.

Starting from his second job advancement, Phantom has a Card Stack on the side of his screen. This Card Stack is used in the beginner skill Judgement which can be used when the stack is full.
This stack starts off at 20 cards in second job (because of Blanc Carte) and increases to 40 cards in fourth job (because of Noir Carte).
Now for the skills! Thanks to Fiel of Southperry for the skill animations that do not have a character in them! Also, sorry about the speed of the aforementioned animations that do have a character in them, I’ll try to fix that soon… The skills are not actually that fast haha.
