	Phantoon's flame patterns during the first round are strongly correlated with his movement direction: if Phantoon moves left, he is unlikely to choose a "moderate 5" or "sluggish 7"; while if Phantoon moves right, he is unlikely to choose a "quick 3" or "varied 7" (less than 0.5% each):		Phantoon's flame patterns during the first round are strongly correlated with his movement direction: if Phantoon moves left, he is unlikely to choose a "moderate 5" or "sluggish 7"; while if Phantoon moves right, he is unlikely to choose a "quick 3" or "varied 7" (less than 0.5% each):

 Phantoon needs to be struck by a source other than the charge shot ''before'' attempting this exploit, otherwise he will simply disappear once struck without allowing the exploit to occur. Try using Missiles when he opens (a well-timed Missile can consume all of the flames when they spawn, and a second will strike Phantoon) so he will start to fly around, then perform the exploit. Be careful not to accidentally strike him with more than two Missiles in this manner, otherwise he will disappear.

The image below shows the probability of a given pattern in a given round, the position where Phantoon will open his eye, and the position(s) that will give the best chance of destroying all of the flames with one shot.
 After Phantoon takes damage during this opening, he will fly around the room in a similar manner, attempting to ram Samus. Samus's positioning will influence his movement.

 Phantoon can close his eye at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. The amount of time the eye stays open and its chance percentages are: 15 frames, 25% | 30 frames, 37.5% | 60 frames, 37.5%.

+If Phantoon was hit with a charged plasma shot in the previous round, he will become vulnerable seven frames later than usual after opening his eye. This reduces his window of vulnerability: for a fast eye close you only get an 8 frame window to hit Phantoon rather than a usual 15. This occurs because the charged plasma shot gives Phantoon 16 iframes, but he disappears and becomes invulnerable after 9 frames. The game does not process iframes while Phantoon is invulnerable, so his 7 leftover iframes are preserved until the next time he opens his eye.

 The hybrid strat for Phantoon is 2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles, super missile (2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles xfactor - this is if you have no super missiles for round 2).  When Phantoons eye opens, you want to shoot two regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon, then dash to the left wall, do a full jump and at the peak fire two more regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon.  Immediately press and hold right and menu over to power bombs.  As soon as you are towards the lower portion of Phantoons body you will want to start charging to perform an X-Factor.  Continue holding right until you reach the right side wall, you want to make your way to this wall without using dash.  Once you reach the wall, perform a full jump (with no spin) this will pull Phantoon to the top of the screen where your X-factor will connect with all four shots.  From there you will want to shoot 2 more missiles into Phantoons eye when it opens next, wait a moment, fire two more missiles, and then immediately a super missile.  That will finish off Phantoon.  If you do not have a super missile to finish the fight, simply repeat the pattern for round 1 and do a double x-factor instead.
