Ghost Rider in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls is one of the most unique characters. He is a mid-to-long-range fighter who deals heavy damage using chain-based attacks and hellfire. However, his core mechanic is the Vengeance Gauge, which can either be his biggest strength or weakness. As such, mastering the gauge is crucial to playing the character effectively.

This article explains how to efficiently play Ghost Rider in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls.

Best Ghost Rider combo attacks in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls

Light attack combo

Spamming Light attacks while standing in front of your opponent is one of the cleanest ways to deal damage with Ghost Rider. He uses the chain on the third hit, pushing enemies back and creating a distance between you and the foe.

Finish the sequence with Tokon Assemble to bring in your teammates and add a burst of extra damage.

Medium and Heavy attack combo

Hellfire is one of Ghost Rider’s most useful tools and can build up the Vengeance Gauge, along with other skills. When using Medium or Heavy attack combos, the third hit will deal hellfire damage. Use it to increase the gauge to further increase the strength of your attacks.

Inferno Engine (Super Skill)

The Inferno Engine is Ghost Rider’s Super Skill in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls and summons his car to attack the enemy. Not only does this move deal a lot of damage, but it also depletes the Vengeance Gauge, allowing you to manage it.

Eternal Damnation (Ultimate Skill)

Eternal Damnation is Ghost Rider’s Ultimate Skill and costs 100 gauge. When triggered, Robbie uses his chains to pull enemies and deal damage twice, followed by crashing into them with his car. Overall, it is a very strong finisher.

How to play Ghost Rider in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls

Ghost Rider plays best from mid-to-far range. His chain attacks give him reach that most characters cannot match at close quarters, so try to keep your distance and use Revelator Chain and Hellfire to control the space between you and your opponent.

Other than that, the most important habit a Ghost Rider player should have is monitoring the Vengeance Gauge at all times. Every time you use a Skill, the gauge fills, and when the gauge enters the red zone, your Skills deal more damage. As such, you will want your gauge to be red during most of your fight.

However, if the gauge reaches maximum, Ghost Rider suffers from the Overheat status. At this point, he is stunned and cannot attack until the gauge drops. As such, use Penance Driver often to bring the gauge back down or spend it to cast your Super Skill or Ultimate Skill.
