Not a top tier Wraith here but I play her from time to time. Any old guides on her I would ignore because she's so changed from how she first worked out. Well, portal advice is pretty okay maybe but phasing...it's a whole different thing.
Wraith suffers from being over chosen, basically according to Respawn, so she's been suprah nerfoloed. With phase, you now have to really anticipate using it, you can't 'eject' with it so much from a tight situation, more often you're better shooting and hoping your low profile carries the day. Having said that, the more practice you get, the more you're going to know when to phase in all situations.
I've found since you can be tracked when you phase away, it also helps a lot less running if you are being hunted. You need to appear away in cover more, or move from cover to cover so your ridiculous sort of little ghost thing can't be followed so closely. Also get used to putting your weapon away a lot when you do run because, well, weapon out - slow speed.
Wraith is usually, to me, first person to get good armor on a team, because she's so delicate. Or uh, well, you could make yourself last hoping you don't get hit, but I don't like that. Nab the good armor first, make sure when you hit and run you have lots of little shield batteries...which are way more important than health but especially for wraith. The old advice for her is to carry shotguns but I'd toss that now because shotguns can't carry it anymore. The totally borked R-99 is a great choice for her if you can learn to shoot well, and I'd carry also something even longer range for her, like an R-301 with a 3x scope.
- DarthValtrex5 years agoHero (Retired)@KelRiever I some what agree on her tactical but it can still be used to make an exit. You just have to be extremely aware of your surroundings and cover. Once you hit the tactical everything you do must go into movement and buying time to go into it.
You can still make some decent escapes with it but it's not a get out of jail free card anymore. It also helps to have decent teammates who can provide cover fire for you and cover for you as you pop a cell/battery.
She is a difficult legend to play now but she's a good legend still.- hayhor5 years agoHero@DarthValtrex I dont think wraith is difficult to play. You just have to get used to the void view. Your still tiny and hard to hit.
For me her shortness is the hardest thing to get used to.
OP- just keep playing her and you will get there.
