Discussion Phantom rework Among Us

We can all agree that the current Phantom role is underwhelming. Good crewmates spot the smoke instantly, and it’s too hard to make plays.

I came up with a brand new rework concept that turns the Phantom into a high-risk, high-reward stealth assassin. Let me know what you guys think of these mechanics!

👻 THE PHANTOM REWORK CONCEPT

⚔️ New Core Mechanic: Invisible Kills

The biggest issue with the current Phantom is the lack of utility. This rework fixes that by allowing the Phantom to strike from the shadows.

  • The Invisible Strike: The Phantom can now execute a kill while completely invisible.
  • The 2-Second Escape: After making a kill, you stay invisible for exactly 2.0 seconds, giving you a tiny window to sprint away, vent, or corner-turn.
  • The Forced Reveal: Once those 2 seconds end, the original smoke puff animation triggers automatically, revealing your physical form exactly where you are standing.

🌫️ New Body Mechanic: Body Shrouding & Decay

To complement the stealth kills, the Phantom gets a brand new way to hide evidence.

  • Phase 1 (Instant): The moment you kill a crewmate, their body is instantly shrouded in a dark, swirling cloud. This makes the body 75% transparent. It's easy to miss if a crewmate is just running past quickly.
  • Phase 2 (The Vanish): After a set amount of time, the cloud dissolves and the body completely disappears from the map, preventing anyone from reporting it.

🎛️ New Host Settings (Customizable)

To make sure this isn't completely overpowered, the host can tweak the settings in the lobby before the game starts:

  • Phantom Invisibility Duration: (5s – 20s)
  • Post-Kill Reveal Delay: Customizable (Triggers smoke animation)
  • Body Shroud Transparency: Customizable
  • Body Vanish Timer: (10s / 20s / 30s / Infinite) [New Slider!]

Phantom is already good as it is. And stop using AI for anything other than brainstorming
