Phantom
Storyline/Background
Phantom is one of the five heroes sealed by the Black Magician. Hundreds of years ago, he was a famous thief, he even deliberately left traces to people who did not even know he was there. The people called him the Phantom.
Due to the death of a close friend, he went on the path of the hero. He fought with the others and sealed away the Black Magician, but just as they were frozen in ice, so was he. And now he is revealed! With a triumphant smile, confident attitude, and the elegance of the past, he fights to defend the Maple World!
Phantom has high evasion and critical chance. It is a combination of the Thief concept and many unique skills and system. His primary weapon is called the Cane, and the secondary one, Cards. Attacking monsters grants you more Cards allowing you to use more skills.
One of the talents of the Phantom Thief is that he can use skills from other characters in the same map. He enters Steal Mode and chooses a character to take a skill from. The Cane then turns into a weapon from that class.
The home of Phantom is the air ship Crystal Garden.
Skills
The Phantom has various skills, but his most unique and eye-catching skill is his ability to steal other characters skills and use them for himself.
