You can’t kill a ghost. Ghosting is our namesake strategy: keep your outpost empty so enemies hit nothing. A ghost has no troops to kill and no resources to steal. It’s why we're hard to defeat.
The method is simple: bank or spend your resources, and keep your army nimble and always hidden.
Spend what you need as you earn them and send the rest to the Alliance Bank (or a nearby shielded ally in a pinch). Aim to keep fewer than 1M of each resource in your outpost.
Don't leave troops in your outpost for your enemies to hit. Hide them when you're not actively using them.
Bunker your troops: hide your core army in your bunker, but leave some breathing room for future troop production.
Reinforce the Alliance HQ: use the combat loadout + Death Jackal and a 25% march capacity boost to reinforce the Alliance HQ with T5 Infantry and Anti-Air Tanks. Other troop types should only be sent temporarily in a pinch.
Excess troops: Consider dismissing lower tier troops and troop bloat. Try to keep a nimble army that fits within your bunker capacity and Alliance HQ reinforcement if you can, but don't exceed double your hospital capacity.
Extra hiding spots: Reinforce shielded allies, add your troops in a fake 6-hour rally to a faraway lair, or leave troops in your hospital until you need them. Always reinforce the Alliance HQ before looking for extra hiding spots.
Coordination: Use Ghostbot's shield tracker on Discord to see where you can temporarily store excess troops. Don't store troops in another player's outpost long term without asking them first. If you're holding someone's troops and need to return, warn them first or check that they are shielded.
How do I ghost? Keep your outpost empty: spend resources as you earn them and bank the rest. Hide your troops.
Where to hide troops? In your bunker first, then reinforce the Alliance HQ with T5 Infantry and Anti-Air Tanks.
Too many troops? Consider dismissing lower tier troops and troop bloat for a nimbler army.
Need another hiding spot? Reinforce a shielded ally, create a fake rally, or leave injured troops in your hospital
