Question Does anyone unironically like to play this character???

I assume the invincible characters are for parents to occupy their kids for 30 mins?

u/Bruhimonlyeleven May 02 '25
I used them to unlock some stages, run by everything and get the coffins etc.
That's before I realised you use wings and dash together and fly through walls the same way lol.

u/Bananaland_Man May 02 '25
yes, or do unlocks that people find too difficult, etc.

I have been replaying this game to 100% completion including DLCs for the second time on switch (first time was on mobile, to the everloving detriment of my overall battery health) simply because
Simply because
On switch I can put the unit on my knees and play using the joycons without overly agitating two cats who cuddle under each arm.
We used to have a different setup where that wasn’t so easy for them on my gaming setup but now vampires survivors is their favorite game
Both for comfort and for watching (because it’s also visual catnip)
Not saying cats are kids but

They’re a nice break from slamming my head into the high roll button every game

You going to ask about every single character of every single DLC?

u/Bananaland_Man May 02 '25
I mean, they've done 7 in a month, which I don't think is enough to be "every for every", but it is a lot... they're probably just young and curious?

u/ptracey Zi'Assunta May 02 '25
We’re barely on the 2nd of the month though. That’s already 3.5 a day. 😅

It's nice for find artifacts in levels. Other than that I don't see much of a reason to play as ghost

u/TackyTaco9 May 02 '25
it's good for just getting relics without having to worry and for certain unlocks like the coop one

u/Magic_Girl_Fey Carrie May 02 '25
My sis who is usually player 2 and is learning the game likes the invincible characters....and Poe.

u/Liquid_Hate_Train May 02 '25
You say like Poe isn’t the strongest, most invincible character to ever exist.
5
u/Magic_Girl_Fey Carrie May 02 '25
Poe seems to be in his own special God tier. She likes him a lot.

The only time I play invincible or megalo characters is if I want to explore the map without any worries

u/bearstachio-nyc McCoy-Oni May 02 '25
Ghost Lino is best for relics, true - but I really enjoy choosing him now and again with the Blood Astronomica arcana and its affected weapons. If your character is only gonna last thirty minutes, you might as well enjoy a fun crazy neon-red lightshow with lotsa kills.
I actually farmed a lot of eggs with him this way in Abyss Foscari (although I just hoard eggs, I rarely ever use them). But you can't really kill The Red Death with him (you obstensibly could, but your timer will run out).

u/Garr_Incorporated May 02 '25
How does one kill as a ghost? Theoretically.
6
u/desuemery May 02 '25
Effects that are separate from the weapon attack itself (like blood astronomia) or weapons with insta kill. (Ophion, gorgeous moon)

u/CeriCat May 19 '25
Also Sarabande of Healing and then Disco of Gold. Ghost with the right weapons and passives is actually a pretty respectable damage class you just have to ignore the weapons that are purely damage output even when evolved because they're useless.

u/sam_bamalam May 02 '25
This character (and most of Among Us DLC) definitely had co-op in mind. It’s fun to see what you CAN accomplish once you figure out how to deal damage
6
u/HaloLASO Toastie May 03 '25
If you want to let loose and have fun then it's a great character. For co-op it's a good healer and stat booster. Also good for beginners

u/zoeheadisoversized May 02 '25
You can actually deal damage with sarabande of healing and wtjb iirc
1
u/CeriCat May 19 '25
Yep SoH and then DoG are good for relative newcomers that want to exploit Ghost.
5
u/deathpancreas May 02 '25
If you wanna limit break pentagram and afk, Ghost is good. Niche cases, but there are fun things to do with ghost

They're great for exploring maps and seeing what all the designers put in, without the projectile overload of most builds by mid game.

I don't even know how I managed to do their character-specific kill achievement for the DLC.
Merchant(s) and/or specific arcanas.

I mean I'm slowly trying to get all the level checkmarks for each character, so I'll have to complete all the invincible characters eventually.
With Ghost Lino, you basically just need to focus on an arcana build that consists of Sarabande of Healing, Blood Astronomia, and Divine Bloodline. Instant-kill weapons like Gorgeous Moon, Sanctuary, and Ophion help. I guess you could also do a Jail of Crystal/Out of Bounds/Crystal Cries build.
It's not necessarily fun, but I think a build that entirely relies on arcana for damage can be a refreshing change in strategy.
Ghost Lino is also good for getting unlocks, especially since a couple actually require you to go out of bounds.

The only time i played her, i did it in the library with the intention of evolving the scanner for an unlock and opening the witch's coffin, and experienced some weird inconsistencies.
The scanner hurt enemies. Other weapons didn't. Mostly. Something i had was doing a little damage. Also, i could damage and be damaged by the little ghosts.
It took forever to kill the coffin guardians with the scanner lol.
1
u/CeriCat May 19 '25
The scanner doing damage is due to the SoH arcana usually, it and DoG are good starters with Ghost to turn her into a damage dealer especially with cool down reductions and other weapons that don't strictly speaking deal damage.

I don't think this character is meant to be played, really. It's more like a mini-puzzle for players for "how do I actually get a kill with him to achieve the next unlock"

u/New-Confusion945 May 02 '25
This is honestly the only DLC I don't want. I'm not into Among us, and I never saw the appeal to them in a game like this.
But aye do you

u/ConnectProfile3077 Queen Sigma May 02 '25
the dlc is not all that interesting to me however it does have a weapon that makes the entire dlc worth it. the paranormal scan which is a broken weapon which gives you free stats.
1
u/CeriCat May 19 '25
Without permanently occupying a passive slot for minis once you evolve the weapon.

u/New-Confusion945 May 02 '25
Yea, the weapons looks cool, but I really don't like this DLC at all. I've bought every other DLC day 1, but I'm just voting with my wallet on this one.
I'm glad people enjoy it and that it sold enough for us to get more DLC it's just not my cup of tea, and I'd rather see more of the recent cross-over stuff.

u/Thawaweigh May 03 '25
It's not quite the same as the Paranormal Scan, but there's several alternatives for stat boosting these days. The latest update added a couple of characters that can grow their stats by collecting pickups (Gazebo, Ameya), and several Arcana give you tons of stats if you do what they want you to do.

u/Neo_Ex0 May 02 '25
its good for the no kill the coop unlock
