Passive

DOUBLE TROUBLE
Attacks to get Billy’s Ghostspirit: 2;
Attacks to remove Stu’s Ghostspirit: 2;
Billy gains Ghostspirit on every 2 Basic Attack, giving him 5% damage boost for every stack. Max - 5 stacks. Billy can switch with Stu. Stu uses Shield upon switching, and removes Ghostspirit every 2 Basic Attacks. Each removed stack heals him for 7% of max health, and gives a 5% power generation boost. If Billy has 5 Ghostspirits he becomes Manic for 13 sec. on Special Attack 2, as he sees an impostor running out, and kills him in a rage. While Manic, Billy doesn’t react to opponent’s Basic Combo Attacks, has a 180% damage boost, and makes the opponent unable to tag-out. Stu is scared, so while Manic Billy can’t switch to him, use Special Attack 2 or Fatal Blow.

Team Passive

Before a teammate gets fatal damage, Billy suddenly bursts into the battle and attacks the opponent. Maximum 1 time per match and 1 more per each Nightmare in the team.

Role

Ghostface alternates between Billy's offensive buildup and Stu's recovery. Build Ghostspirit through basic attacks, then decide whether the next phase should be damage or healing.

Strengths

Stored stacks can support either a Manic damage window or recovery through Stu. His emergency intervention also helps a teammate survive a potentially fatal exchange.

Weaknesses

Manic locks out switching to Stu, Special Attack 2 and Fatal Blow for its duration. Triggering it while you need healing sacrifices access to the defensive half of his kit.

Best teams

Nightmare teammates increase the available emergency interventions. Allies that can cover him while he prepares his basic-attack sequence make the transition between his two roles easier.

Where to use

He suits longer fights with room to build stacks and choose a transformation. Plan the Manic window around a target you want to keep active, rather than activating it automatically at full stacks.
