Spirit

• No unique strengths
• Weaknesses:
  • Smudge Sticks

A Spirit is the most common type of ghost in Phasmophobia. This doesn’t mean it isn’t a handful, however. Players should find Spirits at the sites of their unexplained deaths. While a Spirit has no particular strengths, they are weak to Smudge Sticks. Use a Smudge Stick on a Spirit and it will stop attacking for a relatively long period of time.

A Spirit Box, Fingerprints, and Ghost Writing are evidence of a Spirit.

Wraith

• Strengths:
  • Wraiths cannot be tracked by footsteps
• Weaknesses:
  • Toxic reaction to Salt

A Wraith can fly, meaning you cannot track them with footsteps. Wraiths can travel through walls, too. Have some Salt on you to help with a Wraith attack; Wraiths don’t love Salt. Fingerprints, Freezing Temperatures, and a Spirit Box is evidence of a Wraith.

Phantom

• Strengths:
  • Simply looking at a Phantom will dramatically lower your sanity

  • Photographing a Phantom

  • Target one player at a time
• Weaknesses:
  • Fear of the Crucifix

A stalker of its individually chosen prey, a Crucifix nearby a Banshee will make it less aggressive. EMF Level 5, Fingerprints, and Freezing Temperatures are all evidence of a Banshee. Knowing how to use the Crucifix will help here.
