How to Use Phantom Ambush

Hunt Down Targets

Phantom Ambush is a great Unite Move for cutting through your opponents' defenses and allowing you to burst down the squishier members of the enemy team that are usually behind defenders or positioned far back in a fight. Take advantage of the extra movement speed and wide view to hunt down easy targets and surprise them with burst damage!

Disengage from a Losing Fight

Escaping with Phantom Ambush is also a good strategy. Gengar will get a window of invulnerability once the move is activated, allowing it to dodge incoming attacks while disengaging from a losing fight.
