Introduction to the Ghost Build
Welcome to the Ghost Build Guide, focused on infinite scaling through Dodge and Ghost Axe stacking.
This build revolves around reaching very high Dodge early, then scaling Attack Speed and HP Regen, and finally transitioning into high HP for survivability. With Ghost’s mechanics, the build becomes extremely consistent and can scale indefinitely.
