Understand Ghost
Useful when…
- Gain concealment when enemies approach within the precept’s range.
- Use the cloak while moving or otherwise avoiding attacks that disrupt it.
Activation and disruption
At maximum rank, Ghost cloaks the owner when enemies are within 24 meters. The cloak is disrupted if the owner attacks. Rank 0 has a 14-meter trigger range, and rank 3 has a 20-meter range. The effect is therefore conditional both on nearby enemies and on not attacking.
Equipment and ranking
Ghost is a standard Shade mod with Penjaga polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. Its listed rank steps cost 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 Endo, alongside 483, 966, 1,932, 3,864, and 7,728 Credits. The rank effects specify increased cloak trigger range.
Other Shade precepts
Ambush grants the owner +240% Weapon Damage for 3 seconds when Ghost invisibility is broken, so it keys off the cloak ending. Revenge makes the Sentinel attack only an enemy that attacked its master within 10 meters. These add different behavior; neither removes Ghost’s attack disruption condition.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Attacking disrupts the cloak.
- The precept needs enemies within its current rank’s trigger range.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Ghost to remain active after attacking.
- Assuming the maximum trigger range at low rank.
