There are two main modes in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. The first is Ghostbusting which involves four players. The other mode is Haunting, where the solo player can pick one out of the many ghosts in the game. When playing this mode, it is important to understand which ghosts are the best to use in order to win maps easily and quickly.

5 Slimer

Slimer is sure to be a favorite among the same fans that have been waiting for a Ghostbusters game for this long. It is easily one of the most recognizable ghosts in the game and players will be excited to use it. This ghost has made an appearance a lot throughout the Ghostbusters franchise, and now it makes another appearance in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Here, Slimer thrives and is ready to put fear in the hearts of civilians, while thwarting the efforts of Ghostbusters. Even though it has a huge grin on its face, there is nothing friendly about this smile.

Slimer is one of the ghosts under the ectoplast Ghost Type. This is the first class of ghosts in the game and Slimer has to be unlocked. Luckily, this is done really quickly with consistent playing. Gamers can get ready to inject fear into the veins of those who Slimer is unleashed upon. This is a great ghost to use when it comes to getting the hang of things.

4 Wraith

The embodiment of fear itself, Wraith sends shivers down the spine of anyone who dares look upon it. Wraith is the stuff nightmares are made of. This ghost is a pure burst of violence and horror. Wraith gives no time for either civilians or Ghostbusters to take a break from it.

Wraith belongs to the second class of ghosts in the game, which is the ghouly ghost type. The ghouly ghost type is the home to some of the most terrifying ghosts in the game. Fear is the main focus here and that is why the haunt meter fills up so quickly once this type of ghost is involved. The terror that Wraith imparts can be felt in every area of the map. Wraith probably needs a lot more control than most, but this is not too difficult to learn.

3 Gloom

Bashers are one of the strongest ghost types in the game and Gloom really stands out here as an iconic ghost. Like the others in this class, Gloom is very difficult to take down. This tank of a ghost is quite a marvel to use. The path of destruction that it leaves in its wake is sure to make even gamers tremble. Like its name, wherever this ghost goes, gloom is sure to follow closely behind.

Gloom being used as an utter instrument of destruction is something quite great to see. Players will definitely have a great time blasting through the map, leaving carnage in their wake.

2 Bramble

The cries of this howler will run in the ears of anyone who hears it forever. Bramble is a monstrosity built to get the most disastrous effect from the words it utters. Its laugh creates nightmares.

Its minion is just as terrifying since it has an even longer lifespan. For the best overall experience from a howler class in this game, Bramble is absolutely the way to go.

1 Toxie

Imagine the most horrible monster made from the worst the environment has to offer. This monster as a ghost would be Toxie. Toxie is a product of the evils of the heart, and it has come for its sweet revenge. This ghost is a bane in the existence of Ghostbusters.

Toxie poltergeist ghost type. This type of ghost is really evasive and is great at ruining all the efforts of Ghostbusters. However, using the poltergeist ghost type requires a certain level of skill to carry out. This is why Toxie is one of the last ghosts to be unlocked in the game. Something like this in live-action is needed for whatever ever comes next for this franchise.
