Ghost guide — how to play Ghost in Brotato
Updated 2026-11-01 · for v1.1 + Paws & Claws
Ninety percent dodge is possible — and armor is gone forever. Our tier list puts Ghost in C tier: 90% dodge cap but no armor. One bad roll ends the run.
The stat line
- +10 Damage with Ethereal weapons
- +30% Dodge
- Dodge is capped at 90%
- -100 Armor
Unlock: Reach +60% Dodge. Winning a run unlocks Ritual.
How the run plays
+30% Dodge, a 90% dodge cap and -100 Armor make the Ghost the purest dodge build. Ethereal weapons get +10 damage. Every hit that lands hurts a lot, so the run is a race to the cap and then to Max HP. Dodge-triggered sustain items are the survival plan.
Weapons
Ghost fits the Ethereal class best. Start with Ghost Flint, Ghost Axe, Ghost Scepter and hold six weapons of one class for the set bonus; the weapons list shows everything in the Ethereal class with per-tier damage.
What to buy, what to skip
Dodge to 90, Ethereal weapons, Max HP, dodge-heal items.
The shop favours Dodge items for Ghost, so expect to see these often: Feather, Peaceful Bee, Riposte, Blindfold, Leather Vest, Gambling Token, Adrenaline, Clover.
The mistake that ends runs
Buying armor items; they do nothing at -100 and waste the slot.
