"Due to a childhood accident, the mysterious Ghost is stuck phasing in and out of reality. With the help of a high-tech suit, she now harnesses this power to her advantage.
Ghost is fixated on Pym Labs, and since walls are no obstacle for her heists, she appears to be a nearly-unstoppable force."
Check out the brand new 4-Star Ghost, and find out how you can recruit her onto your team!

It looks like an an easy 3/5/5 build.
300% match damage right off the start is awesome. This character looks simple to play though. Cast her power and her damage reduces to 100%. Then get someone to reduce her countdown quickly. Coulson might be good?
I just saw the visual for power cycle. Her match damage is even higher than some of the 5-stars’.
The health regeneration works for any character’s Invisibility tile. It is also a true heal. In addition, if there are multiple Invisibility tiles in that match, Ghost will receive 1,130 health for each of them.
Time to dust of Howard the Duck! (it is too bad purple makes both of them invisible) I will definitely be trying Ghost/Howard/IW just to drive people up a wall. Overall she looks interesting, I would say 3/5/5 unless you need her to heal up, I am assuming the purple is true heal is not her use will be more limited. She could be a very solid third with a good nuke or a viable red battery for a more powerful character.
For 7ap, you can spam 4 inviz tiles off of Bl4ck Widow, and her yellow could make Ghost’s cheaper as well; perhaps that team would work better than Howard (12ap for 1 extra inviz)?
Difficult to justify running Howard with her, their invisibility tile powers are both purple and Ghost needs to use hers or else she doesn’t get the damage boost on her red. I’m guessing that her invisibility tiles won’t trigger Duck Duck Loose’s damage-over-time effect either. She seems to have been specifically designed not to have synergy with him…
Well, he gets slightly more Invisibility tiles per AP (0.416 vs 0.4) so if you still have at least 1 of Ghost’s tiles out, you’d be slightly better off firing Duck, Duck, Loose instead, assuming you could avoid ever matching that last tile. But yeah, I don’t think this is the Ghost/Howard interaction anyone is really looking for. Defilade is probably much better, if that’s what you’re really into.
Are all new releases going to be boss events? This is the 3rd or 5th in a row now? Can we at least alternate back and forth as this is a punishment for those of us who compete at high level pve.
(and before anyone states the obvious, yes I know it’s a small number impacted), but this is a pretty significant change that really didn’t get much discussion, as usual.
I don’t either, I mentioned the purple overlap, his green and blue do match well with her though, you deny green and have a solid hold. You would have to get his purple out first then Ghosts for maximum efficiency but that is a lot of purple there are more efficient ways to spam invisible tiles for sure. But Howard needs some love
I do think she will pair very well with IW, no color overlap but fewer tiles for healing purposes. You will need her to heal because she has to tank to benefit from her blue. You might not need it though if you keep everybody invisible. I think Road Warrior’s idea of throwing 4 Black widow into the mix might work very well, Suri might be another good partner plus she fortifies so you can double dip on the matches. You are going to have to play her on a 4 star team to benefit from her blue power so that true heal will be important especially if you want to maximize it. She may fall into the same pitfall as Iron Spider where she does not play with 5’s well but I think her red generation will make her more useful than than first glance.
