Phase Builds Past to Present
Phase building is an advance concept, but even above average pub players use it. So what is "Phase Building"? Phase building is placing a structure (wall, cone, floor, staircase) through another structure without an edit being made. The uses and videos listed below are just to show examples of when, how, and why to use them along with some of the common names of the moves.
Past to Present Phase Build Evolution
This YouTube video covers the history of the most commonly used Phase Build Technique. Along with how it has changed.
Slide Phase Build
raider464 demonstrates how you can combine sliding with phase building. This mechanic is new, we recommend watching the whole video to see what you can actually do with sliding.

In order for phase builds to work properly you need to understand why they work. In general there are 2 things you have to do to use them properly. Find the correct angle and for your opponent to have NOT placed builds in that spot
Cone Slides - Cone Phases
The simplest cone slide is when your opponent is boxed up on the ground without a cone in their box.
This angle can be done from the left or the right.
Check for a cone or ramp when your opponent is boxed up above you. This doesn't need to be done on the ground, just as long as they're above you.
​
Similar to the one on the ground, but notice where your cross hair needs to be. Also take note that you can't have builds in front of where you're looking as the cone will not phase properly.

This method relies on you being next to the opponents wall (basically running at it) and tilting you camera to phase the build through.​
From SlyJack, BLUSQUAD812, raider464 there are a lot of variations to this. You can "Crouch" and turbo build the cone when you un-crouch, you can edit 1-2 tiles on the pre-placed cone and place the phased cone, or you can even run and slide while turbo building the phased cone.
This cone phase dives into pre-edits. Selecting 3/4 tiles you without placing the build.
If there is a cone on the persons box , you have to break it first. However in moving zones this can be used to build above you as well into an opponents tunnel.

This is a Right Hand Phase Box. Utilizing a Blu Box setup (Cone with 1-2 tiles edited) you can place the far right wall, the back wall and the front wall.​
Using this angle you can also place a cone before you place this outter wall.
The reason this is important is most players will attempt to take your wall from your right side, or their left.

This has been common for many seasons, however using this Phase build technique you catch opponents off guard.
