• Phantom Dancer is best paired with other sources of attack speed in order to stack up the effect quicker.
• Phantom Dancer's increased movement speed and ghosting allows for ranged users of the item to keep melee enemies at a distance.
• Phantom Dancer is a useful alternative to Rapid Firecannon in cases where the increased range from the item is not needed, but an increase to attack speed and attack damage is.
