>dudes keep constantly saying how HG can fuck over Phantom any time they want as if that's not the case for literally every operator
The fact that he they need to either increase redeploy time, make enemies status resistant, make enemies resistant or make enemies attack really fast is what makes him so good, fucking him over also fucks over a bunch of other ops so HG is less likely to do it, since if his S2 is bad he can just use S3 and vice verse. Unlike most other ops who get fucked over with less effort. Like how they just increase def and suddenly W is unusable.
