Cost: 100 Bonds The Ghost class is detected by enemies at shorter distances and provides a very high chance of ignoring damage from projectiles. However, it takes more melee damage. 1x Shovel 90% chance to ignore projectile damage. Less detected by enemies, allowing for you to sneak into towns. Significantly less detected when shooting a gun. With full armor you become 100% immune to Bullets and take 10% more melee damage. Expensive, at 100 Bonds. Takes 50% more damage from melee attacks.

Strategy
It is recommended to stick to ranged combat as much as possible, due to melee combat posing a higher risk. The Ghost is great for distracting ranged enemies, especially when combined with a Helmet. The Ghost is very useful for the Pacifist challenge, since the reduced detection range allows it to move around more safely, while the bullet immunity makes enemies with guns significantly less dangerous. However, it is recommended to obtain a Horse as soon as possible to remain safe from the enemies that spawn at night which are not affected by the reduced detection range. Ghost users can sneak through Towns and loot easily. The huge range of waking enemies up when firing a ranged weaponry is also diminished.

Trivia
The Ghost class makes the player's limbs transparent, but not their accessories. It can also sometimes cause the player's head to disappear. The official description has a lot of wording errors. (Disclaimer: This section is intended to point out fun facts, rather than call out developers.) "Harder to be detected" may imply that being detected (generally a bad thing) is a good thing in this context. "Bullets have 90% of" is missing a word (probably intended to be "Bullets have 90% chance of"). "Take more melee damage" should be "Takes more melee damage," since the implied subject (this class) is a singular noun (for example, "it takes" is singular, and "they take" is plural). The 50% melee damage weakness stacks multiplicatively with enemy damage bonuses in Nightmare Mode, making the Ghost take 125% more damage from melee attacks.
