All ghost strengths and weaknesses

Each Phasmophobia ghost type has a different list of strengths and weaknesses. Knowing how to deal with each type will help ghost-hunting teams avoid being hunted,

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
Weaknesses:
Photographing a Phantom
Phantoms can possess the living, commonly summoned by an Ouija Board, instilling fear into anyone nearby. Remember to not look directly at a Phantom and set up your camera to take a photo (this will make it temporarily disappear). EMF Level 5, Ghost Orbs, and Freezing Temperatures are all evidence of a Phantom.

POLTERGEIST
Strengths:
Poltergeists can throw many different objects at once
Weaknesses:
Empty rooms
Poltergeists can throw objects and generally cause a ruckus. Get one in an empty room, however, and they are a lot easier to deal with. Spirit Boxes, Fingerprints, and Ghost Orbs are evidence of a Poltergeist.

BANSHEE
Strengths:
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.

JINN
Strengths:
Jinns are faster when players are far away from them
Weaknesses:
Turn off the location’s power source to stop a Jinn from using its ability
Fast, territorial ghosts. A Spirit Box, Ghost Orbs, and EMF Level 5 are all evidence of a Jinn.

MARE
Strengths:
Increased chance of attacking in the dark
Weaknesses:
Light sources (turn the lights on, use torches, etc…)
Make sure you turn the lights on as this ghost is stronger in the dark. A Mare’s evidence is a Spirit Box, Ghost Orbs, and Freezing Temperatures.

REVENANT
Strengths:
When hunting a victim, it is quick, faster than anything
Weaknesses:
Hiding from a Revenant makes it move very slowly
A slow, violent ghost that picks up tremendous speed when hunting its prey. Remember to hide. Revenant evidence is EMF Level 5, Fingerprints, and Ghost Writing.

SHADE
Strengths:
Shyness makes it hard to find
Weaknesses:
If there are multiple players nearby, a Shade will not enter into hunting mode
A shy ghost, make sure to travel in a group. Evidence of a Shade is EMF Level 5, Ghost Orbs, and Ghost Writing.

DEMON
Strengths:
Demons attack more than any other ghost type
Weaknesses:
Ask Demons successful questions on the Ouija Board
This won’t lower a player’s sanity
Demons are the most aggressive ghost. Ask it good questions to avoid lowering your sanity. Evidence of a Demon is a Spirit Box, Ghost Writing, and Freezing Temperatures.

YUREI
Strengths:
Strong effect on a player’s sanity
Weaknesses:
Smudge the room of a Yurei to stop it wandering around the location for a long time
Yureis have a big effect on your sanity, remember to Smudge the room it’s in to stop it wandering around for some time. Evidence of a Yurei is Ghost Orbs, Ghost Writing, and Freezing Temperatures.

ONI
Strengths:
More active when players are nearby
Can move objects at great speed
Weaknesses:
More active players will make an Oni easier to find and identify
