True

[@powerhouse3129]

That’s when the ss and sss tiers come into play

[@Avenlith]

With Wraith I feel, that he is d+, because they tend to teleport to random player's location. This means, that they can give you evidence in multiple rooms.

[@m.marten6525]

Agreed. Had a Wraith in the HS couple of days ago, the ghost was stalking one of us far far away from the ghost room and initiated a hunt next to the person they were stalking. That was quite a bit of a surprise since my friend was in the middle of a long corridor.

[@AlmightyRawks]

Yep I have also seen the teleportation + initiating hunts end in disaster. The players who are not near the ghost room may not be prepared at all for the wraith to be right beside them when it does hunt them.

[@i.r.3016]

And they can also start a hunt from the place they teleport to I believe, which can catch one off guard.

[@vexx80000]

Now that the ghost now starts hunts wherever it is, this also means the wealth can start hunts anywhere in the building. We had a ghost in upstairs Highschool, but it began a hunt right next to me in the gym.

[@jarokier]

3 minutes in and I already cannot disagree more. The wraith has a hidden ability to literally teleport to the players location on the map when initiating a hunt, my experience being on school the ghost room being the top floor and half way down the right side, yet as we were leaving it suddenly hunted right beside us at the main entrance. That got my friend killed so it is definitely not a weak ghost type. I would honestly place it in A tier purely based on that serious threat

[@madamegeorge7258]

Wraith is definitely not in the weakest tier. For sure. The Banshee can also hunt anywhere on the map.

[@89TheGuardian]

thought so, too ,was about to write that as well but saw that you were first. The teleporting ability can be somewhat tricky and the wraith can easily trick you by starting a hunt after teleporting.

[@technodoomed1]

Hidden ghost abilities / powers: - Wraiths can teleport across the entire map to a player's position. - Phantoms and Banshees can mark a player's current position, and walk across the building to that spot. Banshees can also rarely trigger a hunt if they see the player during this trek, disregarding sanity rules. - Jinns will drain sanity by 25% instantly in a 3m radius. So... yeah, Wraiths should at least be C tier if not higher. Also, Phantoms are more scary than Nuzzgard thinks due to its power. Also, all ghost powers have been datamined from the game since long, long ago. There are pages on Github containing a mostly up to date in-depth explanation of all the mechanics in the game. These powers can also be readily tested by someone that's dedicated enough.

[@hyperauto1240]

I agree! I get that a lot in multiplayer as well.

the ability is to teleport away from the ghost room for roaming/showing its self right? im pretty sure that it just roamed over there with its ability and yall got unlucky.

I think the poltergeist needs a buff C teir is kind of weak for a ghost type that is said to be strong. So maybe poltergeists can throw larger stuff in the way of you running, so like a cabinet in a normal house, a desk in high school, or a hospital bed in asylum, and doors in general. Maybe that'll spice up the hunts

[@cloudquest8006]

Before they re-did the trello board after the addition of the new devs, they did have something on it along the lines of "add a chance for the ghost to throw items *at* the player." As in, target the player with the object. So that might be something we see come into play. Same thing with another feature they had on there about items like plates breaking/shattering. There's also the removal of the keys-there used to be basement keys, garage keys, etc. in most of the houses. But they took those out, so now it's just the initial entry key and the car key because ghosts can still interact with cars. The update said they were removed "as they currently have no purpose," implying to me at least that there's going to be a purpose added eventually. Poltergeists are often characterized as mischievous ghosts, so I wonder if we might see a feature down the line where they can move the keys or can lock players in to/out of certain areas. That falls right in line with the devs upping the difficulty, because hoooooooly shit would that add some danger to hunts.

[@BRNardy]

I still think the Revenant holds the crown, because it's fairly easy to evade a Jinn due to it slowing down when near you, and you can also still loop it once or maybe even twice Now, if you get a close encounter with a Rev in a small map (especially in Willow) and it sees you, you're done, it doesn't even give you time to react

[@diamondonyt8397]

I usually play in 4P and and one of us usually dies before we figure it’s a Rev

[@BRNardy]

@@diamondonyt8397 That's how the Rev handles things!

[@logjamstudios1963]

Quick tip, poltergeist's throw items much further. Discovered them multiple times with just that hint. Hantu is just a reverse Jinn. It's faster when the breaker is off unlike the Jinn who is faster with it on.

[@kwagiajhYT]

Wait is there hidden power too on "Hantu"?

[@mapleflag6518]

The real reverse Jinn is the Mare.

[@AlmightyRawks]

Fantastic video. I actually really like how it has gotten everyone to talk about their various experiences, and to evaluate how they feel about these tier placements. I also respect how you kept out activity, since it does seem to be the roll of a dice. It could mean a 10/10 active spirit who drains sanity by doing every ghosty thing possible may add some element of danger compared to a phantom who is just 1/10 doing nothing. And you have taken that into account, and offered a rather pure list of sanity abilities and hunting abilities. Very much appreciated!

[@direxi]

Mentioning old bugs brought up a fun memory. Ghosts at the time sometimes spawned as a player character model in error for ghost events and hunts way way back. While it might just add some unwanted difficulty for some, it would be a pretty awesome extra feature for the phantom to have in its arsenal and get a bump up to the top of the ladder

[@diamondonyt8397]

Yea I’m pretty sure I died to that and I thought there was an exploiter 😂

[@haroldsong5923]

“As long as you don’t panic” yeah count me out on this one

[@happyfacerplayz]

If I were to buff the D and C tier ghosts here is what I would do. Spirit - Maybe the crucifix length could be decreased to about 1 meter so it is hard to stop it from hunting Wraith - Make it see you through closets and when it steps in salt you lose about 15% of your sanity Shade - Make it extremely shy and will not give you evidence easily Oni - Increase the hunting sanity to around 60-65 since it is the demon's cousin Poltergeist - Add the ability to take your current item in hand and store it around the building somewhere (this would hurt on asylum or high school) Mare - Higher chance to hunt in the dark and will blow candles out easily. Yurei - Sanity drop should increase and maybe allow it to burn through sanity pills easier. Hantu - for this to work the temperatures in the house should decrease so the Hantu can actually hunt more. Also, it would like to turn off the power box more to make the house colder.

[@bingy7348]

in my eyes, rev is still most dangerous

[@Ribaiisu]

Thing is the jinn gets to your location faster, whereas the rev gets there much slower but with line of sight of you, rev is definitely most dangerous

[@Alex-sp9hq]

I would say most people play phasmo casually so they don't get the experience he's got with the ghosts. I've got a good chunk of hours in phasmo and the Revenant for me it's the rarest ghosts, only saw it like twice and died both times. One near the stairs on high school, that guy is a speed demon :v the Jinn is much more common in my experience and only died to it maybe two times at the beggining. We all have different opinions based on our experience with phasmo, that's what makes it a great game :D

[@VVooshbait]

@@Alex-sp9hq rev is indeed the rarest ghost, i got it like 6 times in those 8 months of playing and fortunately, i died 5 times instead of 6 considering i somehow broke the LoS

[@VVooshbait]

Oni isn't really dangerous, but its DEFINITELY the most annoying, getting a hundred of hunts when you are in the ghost room Anyways, props to oni cause he cleared my fear of huntings, when i got like 30 hunts every time i encountered an oni i completely got used to hunts and started doing solo rounds, i still prefer squad tho

[@discomug]

I think its because onis are lonelier than other ghosts and they just want attention.

[@AlmightyRawks]

@@lucaswb7387 Yeah oni's try to show off. They try to scare you, tend to do ghosty stuff more frequently. It's honestly very entertaining compared to a shy shade who doesn't do anything for minutes on end.

[@Chillwave6]

@@AlmightyRawks Yeah but Shades can be more active when a solo player is playing. They can be manipulated to basically never hunt tho by two or more players being in its ghost room.

[@kellymurray7831]

I feel the Wraith's ability to wander more ontop of the already increased wandering chances make it very difficult to pin down with a crucify, and with the ability to spawn anywhere within such a large wandering radius, it has a good chance to catch people off guard

[@AeonQuasar]

I feel wraith are the ultimate pro player killer as they tend to be less on guard due to experience. While Revs and Demon are the ultimate newbie killer ghost.

[@spit4007]

Reasons why i agree with jinn -they will catch up and very frequently find you quick. -they do turn on the power themselves, the players arent in full control -their weakness doesnt make them weak, it just makes them normal speed like most other ghosts -their strength doesnt make them a weakness by turning on the lights and saving your sanity, you would have to turn off lights to gather one peice of evidence(spirit box) or else you wouldnt tell if its a rev or jinn

[@whiskkers9291]

Thank you nuzz for putting this helpful list together, this will come in handy for my next hunt!

[@ShikiKiryu]

Revenants are still as scary as Jinns and as dangerous really I think. I would at least out Wraith in C tier, they have the ability to teleport near players which can catch you off-guard, the 'going through walls' aspect of its description. Phantoms can teleport *anywhere* in the building too. I would move Mare up one into B tier too because they usually wander a *lot* and if they wander into a room where the lights are off as its not the 'main' room, they hunt early, which can catch you out, has happened to me and my friends playing a lot.

Agree both jinn and revenant are s tier but a pros on jinn it can get to your location fast when breaker is on and hiding it’s still fast but can hunt you early by 25% sanity drawn it’s hidden power For revenant pros It can catch you faster then a jinn in line of sights So revenant for his opinion needs a early hunt like sanity speed drain or a sanity attack buff like 60 or 65%

[@saberskyfire3509]

So personally, the Mare, Wraith and Spirit. Each have their own bits that make them scary. In my experience Mares are crazy aggressive. I've had Wraiths just show up where they shouldn't be and they hunt from different rooms when you are near the ghost room sometimes. And the spirit is strong because in my experience. They do so much in such a short period of time. Lots of events, lots of interactions. Which will lower your sanity much quicker then you think which can put you in a tough spot.

[@phantom5797]

Hey Nuzz the only thing that i would change is the rev, even after 140h (lvl627) it is still dangerous especially when you are caught off guard on the bigger maps like Asylum, Prison and High School.

[@SC_Reaper]

The Yurei's power is still 2x sanity drain when you're close to it when it manifests/Hunts. That's it XD It should be lower than the Wraith, at least the Wraith can catch you off guard with a teleport->Hunt combo.

If the Wraith's teleport ability was 100% confirmed I would say it should be higher but it's pretty hard to test, I'm fairly confident it has some teleport abilities as I've experienced initiated hunts ontop of me cross the map (pre wandering patch)

[@MeAndMyFlintNSteel]

I'd say the revs speed alone warrants S tier, especially against new or casual players

[@amythestmuse22]

We identified a Yokai one round because any time we made noise in it's room, it would do something like a ghost event or other things, but didn't when we were quiet. It was pretty funny. Then we managed to get the evidence confirming our guess.

Wraith does feel more like a c tier ghost for me but I've not put in the time to study the ghosts as intensivly as some have. Phantoms have not really plagued me as much as they seem to have for most players though. They can drain sanity a bit but ive never been too worried about them. Also a photo tells you immediately what they are. The 2 newest ghosts are always crazy wonderers on my game making it hard to find them and I've had them hunt from many different rooms more so than other ghosts. The revs are also still tremendously scary as they are the fastest ghost. I know experiences will vary but these are mine.

Jinn information: the jinn has higher chance to turn on the breaker than any other ghost type. however, since the breaker is on mostly, the chance is higher it turns it on than off. i dont know if theres only one chance to interact with breaker or if on/off is a difference but it counts as electric object so the chance has a multiplicator to normal ghosts chance.

Good list. I know you didn't take activity into account, but a factor that I like to keep in mind is how hard it is to identify a ghost. And because The Shade, for instance, has, imo, the hardest evidences to get, that makes it so that the game may very well take longer, which increases the chances of hunts and player mistakes.

You have a couple things wrong about the Jinn, Jinn’s don’t move at higher speeds when not in LOS they move at normal ghost speed at 1.5. Jinn’s don’t move at Revenant speed (3.0) when they see you with the breaker on it goes at a speed of 2.5 if farther then 4 meters from you so Revenants move at the fastest speeds still no matter what. I feel like Jinns are S tier now I believe they share this spot with Revenants it’s also only if you let them do their thing, you kinda short handed Revenants since they speed up no matter what. If you turn off the breaker Jinns are just a normal ghost.

i think the mare is more dangerous than you think and it has to do with its evidence. Both jinn and mare have spirit box and ghost orb as their evidence. So if you find these two pieces of evidence then you are either left with a jinn, with which you should immediately turn the power off, or youre left with a mare, with which you should leave the lights on everywhere. you basically have to roll the dice and hope youre not screwed before you discover the third piece of evidence.

On solo or duo, the Banshee is a nightmare. If the Banshee happens to kill you or your duo at the start, it becomes an A tier. Also, I get killed by the Phantom more than any other ghost and I've had the demon lie on three different hunts on the ouija board, could be a glitch but that has only happened while hunting the demon. They should give the demon higher movement speed with every kill.

[@WynneL]

My thoughts: I would swap the Jinn and Mare tier rankings entirely. I never turn the breaker off for a Jinn--never. I just don't need to. Mares, on the other hand... Mares in my experience are so aggressive that they can easily be mistaken for Demons. They will flip the lights off again and again, which is *devastating* on large maps as you are forced to trudge far away, draining your sanity in the darkness, in turn making it easier and easier for them to hunt you even before you know what they are. Chain hunts are inevitable if you don't find the evidence early. Like the Yokai, they force you to use Spirit Box, which can help trigger an early hunt in either case--voices, or darkness.

[@domino1999]

How about they introduce a ghost that can change the way it looks and randomly choose to look like one of the players? And then this ghost can walk towards u looking like one of your friends but when it's close to you at a specific distance it instantly reveals the way it really looks. And to make sure players experience this scary event and push them to go alone on the map and seperate, the game can mention on the board that this ghost will only respond or give you clues when alone, forcing players to seperate on the map to gather evidence

Think you're quite right on most of them, but not all. If you think about your own games, or let me say my games, i feel the most scary when i' m around a Demon or Rev. Same with the Banshee. The feeling of: 'I could be the target' is scary on itself, besides that he can hunt whenever he wants. I know 'scary' and ' dangerous' is not the same, but you talk about running out a banshee and don't get upset if he does. For experience players like you and me that's logic, but most players are scared by these things. I think that every ghost that can hunt whenever he wants above 50% is f'ing dangerous, for 80% of the playerbase. Jinn is S-tier since the new update, but the Jinn will never give you goosebumps when you find out that it's there. For me the Demon and Rev also deserve S tier. A tier Banshee, Yokai, Mare. B tier Phantom, Poltergeist. Wraith... Rest doesnt matter

[@ninjalpw]

Hey what do yall think willow would be rated for hardest maps?

[@Jay-ro7vm]

I think there should be a possession mechanic with the demon where whoever it kills it takes the players body and used it for a short time or something like that.

[@Chillwave6]

Phantom can create a temporary clone of player characters in multiplayer, but that model is not voiced and always has a thing wrong in it. Actual possession sounds like a cool idea.

[@mapleflag6518]

I think we need another tier list because we got more ghosts.

[@kosakukawajiri5007]

My most feared ghost is the Phantom (dont need to explain why), most hated is the Yurei (all my Yurei are in the dumbest rooms and they love screwin with me), most encountered is the Demon (i think around 28 Demons and many of them did very little especially one when i was in its room for 40 minutes alone and it did just 2 events 80 interactions and he never hunted me), least encountered is the Shade and Hantu (6 Shades and 2 Hantu, though i had very nice ones i never get them anymore), rarest deaths are from Revenants bc they never hunt me (also worth mentioning i always get them in the school), most deaths are from Yokai (and since they came out i got them more than other ghosts), my scariest ghost was an Oni in Bleasedale in a bathroom (pj lady did so many ghost events and hisses) while my common Oni are clingy and friendly, my Jinns are seemingly docile compared to others (every Jinn i got also spawned with the board weird isnt it), Spirits and Mares are uncommon for me but they seem decent (one Mare never turned off the breaker and some Spirits never hunt me), Poltergeists i havent had in ages and they did nearly nothing (never experienced the multi fling ability though i want to), Banshees give me the creepiest vibes (one in particular made my skin crawl, i walked into tanglewood and turned on one light i look over and see a butcher standing beside me singing as if i never existed), and my fav ghosts ever are Wraiths they just love messing with me but at the perfect times and they are so enjoyable and amusing (had one in prison in the little hallway room near the beginning throwing a clipboard the whole time, i brought it into the cubby room and it thanked be my eventing in my face, Scarlie needed to brush her teeth)

[@stalkerwastaken]

For me the polter power is not as rare as you said. I had a mission on bleasdale where I went in, went upstairs, looked in the utility room to se if the ghost was there, and all the items flew off the shelf.

[@TK_Raz]

I think Revenant should probably be S tier. Yokai to me is extremely situational, and can get very very early hunts, because if you're an aggressive player like myself who's extremely talkative and aggressive (in my choice words) towards the ghost, I've had it try to hunt me at 90+% sanity.

[@LeImFin]

No noti needed

[@hazeltree7738]

I feel like the wraith's stuff should be swapped. "Strength: Moving through salt will permanently increase the wraith's activity" "Weaknesses: Wraiths won't leave footsteps after walking through salt, making them easier to identify"

[@iambingchillin6014]

The demon can hunt above 70 sanity,I had one attempting to hunt me with 77.

[@splatlingsquid4595]

On a somewhat old patch(December of 2020), me and my team had a Demon on Grafton Farmhouse that hunted almost immediately, team sanity was around 90%. I immediately assumed it was Banshee after the hunt stopped but was quickly proved wrong with evidence. To this day that was the most agressive Demon(and ghost as a whole) I ever had.

[@crazycraft3076]

idk if the shade is broken or anything because yesterday me and my 3 friends got a shade that was hella active. We got 6 events when we all were in the house

[@ollietodd7032]

Wraiths in bugs: what is a door?

[@andrewismegaming7483]

One of the things I disagree with is the Wraith. The Wraith has the ability to spawn next to the player at anytime such as ghost events and hunts even if you are very far from the ghost room. I feel like that should be placed in B tier because it is definitely a lot more dangerous than a Mare.

[@jacki5628]

Ngl, I disagree with this tier list. I feel like revenant should be S tier and Jinn should be a high a tier because you can just turn off the breaker. There is no way to counter a revenant unless you're hiding, which you can do with every other ghost. This means the only way you can counter a revenant is with a smudge stick. Hantu should be a high B tier because if you're looping the ghost, it'll be in the room long enough to where the temperature drops so it speeds up and kills you. It could also turn off the breaker before it hunts making it more dangerous. Banshee could be lower if you're in a squad. Wraith should be in the middle of C and B tier because of its teleport ability. Yokai could be lower because you don't have to talk most of the time unless you're using spirit box. From most of my games, I could say all of this is true. Shade could also be a C tier if you're playing solo, because I have and I have had a lot of shades, and they've all been aggressive.

[@Wolverium]

I get where you’re coming from, and the reason why I would say Jhin is more dangerous is because no matter what, you’re put in a tougher spot. Here’s what I mean: If power is on, he can move a double the speed at ALL times except within 4 meters of a player, which means during a hunt, it can cover 2x more area than every ghost but when you compare to a rev, a banshee can cover 4x more area then a rev (assuming everyone is hiding and not seen at all.) Jhin’s can check more rooms and theoretically find players faster and easier than a rev. Also, it can drain 25% instantly. Now here is the biggest thing: If you turn off power, there is a few repercussions that come with it. One is you can’t stay in a lit room which means your sanity will drain and if you choose to bring a candle, you are automatically giving up an inventory slot which can make it so you take longer to complete the mission and bring stuff in. With a rev, you can leave power on and stay in its room with the light on and your sanity may never drop and it may never get to initiate a hunt at all (and most games I play, revs never get to initiate hunts.) with a jhin, your sanity will drop regardless or you’ll have to take longer to complete the mission which means more time for ghost events, items being thrown, etc to lower your sanity. That’s why I would say Jhin is S tier and Rev is no longer S tier but I do understand where you’re coming from.

[@Wolverium]

Now The hantu is such a hit or miss honestly, because I do agree it should be B tier as I’ve had it before where i just couldn’t lose it as every time I broke line of sight, before I could hide, it would catch up and see where I went and it go closed a distance of maybe 20-30 meters to only 5 by the end of the hunt……but at the same time, that’s only happened once where I felt in danger by a hantu. I do think it should be in B, but it had the potential to be even A.

[@Wolverium]

I think banshees are perfect in b tier for one reason, due to it roaming more than other ghost, on bigger maps, it can REALLY throw you off on where it’s ghost room.while it may only target one person, it has the potential of playing you and making you waste a ton of sanity only to be duped. Also, can wraith really teleport? I’ve never seen it from what I recall…. Maybe once but it was also after they buffed wandering and I’ve had all types of ghost wander now so I can’t recall if it was a wraith.

[@Wolverium]

When it comes to yokai, for most people, they also talk outside of spirt box, whether it be asking for ghost orbs, the name, what evidence do they have, saying “ have you taken a picture of this or that”, etc and a lot of times, people talk a good bit in the beginning about whatever it may be and then they suddenly get capped because the yokai spawned at like 80% sanity due to them talking.

[@konstantindombi-enescu2913]

idk why, but I like how the Jinn ,, took the crown''. Honestly, I think the mare should be put on B category, Because he is in a way more dangerous, if you forget to put the lights on, it even happened to poor Rupert.....

[@alejomuca7728]

gonna have to make another one including the goryo and the other one i forget

[@ericakillz2052]

Is there somewhere with all this info you talked about? Like all the technicalities? A google doc or something?

[@saiae]

So what scared me the most about the Banshee was the wiki entry, which seems to be demonstrably false: Line-of-sight blockers and hiding have no effect on the Banshee and the targeted player will most likely die by doing so It seems to imply they are a homing missile and hiding doesn't work with them, with your only course of defense as simply being really far away.

[@jamesmclay9075]

that was exactly what I thought up until I saw a few more vids explaining how they currently work. I was terrified of banshees and didn't understand why everyone was so focused on revenants

[@edwynn3132]

Honestly, there's a bit to this list I generally don't agree with. But this is otherwise still a solid video, and it's always fun to hear others' own opinion. Some things I disagree with: I heavily disagree that Jinn should usurp Revenant as the most dangerous ghost. While Jinns do have incredible potential to be dangerous, especially if you can't figure it out quick enough, it has the debilitating weakness with the fuse box. As long as you keep it off once you figure out it's a Jinn, it's pretty much a Spirit at that point; nothing to really help it out. On the flip-side, the only way you can prevent a Revenant's ability from triggering is to not be seen, or to be so quick on your toes to break LOS immediately, should it see you. Wraiths I definitely think belong higher than just the D tier. Their teleportation ability can be frightening; as others have mentioned before, should a Wraith teleport to you or a friend's location, and then trigger a hunt? It could easily get you killed, as you may think you're safe where you're at (Should you know where the Ghost Room is,) only to realize it was, in fact, with you the entire time. Not only that, but Wraiths can make false positives during the search for the Ghost Room, manifesting near you only to return to their room once the phases loop around. This one is a bit more debatable and more from my experiences, but I'd personally put Yokai in A over B. Yokais can give such a startle when you're trying to either locate ghost room, or find evidence, as speaking near it has a chance of triggering a hunt regardless of sanity (Unless, of course, if still in set-up phase with Amateur or Intermediate.) Because of how you typically need to speak to the ghost to encourage them to do stuff, like Ghost Events, Manifestations, and what not, it also makes the Yokai a ticking timebomb. You may just want to get a ghost photo, so you ask for the Yokai to show itself, only for it to trigger a Hunt. Otherwise, I pretty much agree with everything else, to one extent or another.

[@JALorenzetti]

Yureis are scary to me due to the huge sanity losses which cause early hunts. Until the update it seemed they hunted way earlier and more often than even the demon.

[@champlynyang5809]

My top tip killing it’s sanity speed for yurei shut down it’s sanity drain by leaving breaker on which lights slows your sanity slow dark it drains your sanity for 7% per min so keep the lights on as long as impossible to shutdown it’s power so yurei has 2 weakness breaker on to prevent it’s power slowly or smudge it in ghost room
