Best way to learn Ghost

So I am a proud owner of a 5/65 ghost, took me forever to get her but it finally happened and she is a blast, but I still am not the best with her play style. I’ve seen one or two YouTube videos on her but for those of you who use her often, where did you learn and what would you suggest?

    just use her a lot. get comfortable with her animations. knowing how to intercept in general is very useful for ghost

    I'd personally first learn Ghost without the Wasp synergy. Learn how to play her without first becoming reliant on that unblockable synergy. Will be harder to do it the other way.

    Confidence plays a mayor role in learning Ghost. Timing, spacing, i love her. Wish i had full suicide to get the best out of her.

    This, it's how I learned. You can get away with messing up.

    Idunno. I did this for awhile, and now it's like I suck with ghost dropping specials unless I have Wasp. You become too reliant on that unblockable synergy. My advice would be to play her a bunch without synergies to get used to timing phasing/specials without the help of unblockable.

    I would also recommend playing without it. I never bothered using it when I was learning and am grateful for it. you are forced to understand the opponent and get a feel for what the opponent will do. I usually hold block and wait for the dash. then dash back and special

    But the energy cost, then again RoL WS has a funky AI , not practical at all to practice ghost on

    I found this video to be useful.

    I wrote up a simple guide here:

    https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/132680/everyone-who-says-ghost-is-best#latest

    and made a playlist of several clips of a 3* ghost hammering out act 5 ;)
    great way to practice there, for sure .. :pensive:

    Ughhh darn you all, now I want a ghost 10 times more. I already can’t sleep at night without her in my roster, now I think my legs just get paralyzed by me having a singular thought about her absence from my roster.

    I prefer the ant man and wasp synergy.
    I'm trying to learn her also (5*, r4).
    I think it's all about phasing and timing. Timing ur attack while in phase, esp sp attacks when u first phase as they're critical and unblockable with synergies.

    Jason Vorhees always comes clutch whenever I need to learn someone
    Unofficial Kabam Miike is also not a bad option either

    Neither of these are people I would recommend watching for Ghost. PandamanPete and Karatemike are both great Ghost players to watch. When I first started practicing with Ghost (back I think around 9 months ago now?) I used her in 5.3 w/o synergies so I could practice long fights. She's an absolute beast, you'll love learning her.

    the two mcdonald's mentioned are good for understanding abilities, but like you said, ghosts playstyle is so unique and it really helps to see some high level ghost gameplay, not to say the other two aren't good at her
