To succeed as a Ghost Hunter in the Lineage 2: Revolution 3v3 Honorable Battlefield, wait for allies to absorb the opposing team's opening crowd control, flank and burst down vulnerable backline targets, and immediately disengage once your primary skill rotation is spent. The Dark Elf Ghost Hunter pairs high critical damage with very low baseline health, meaning front-to-back brawling will quickly result in your death.
Target Prioritization and Flanking
Never initiate a clash against armored frontliners like Paladins or Warlords. Instead, circle the perimeter of the arena and wait for the enemy team to commit their main abilities before you engage. Prioritize targets in the following order:
- Healers and Supports (Priests, Elders): Eliminate support classes first to remove enemy shields, burst recovery, and debuff cleanses.
- Backline Ranged Attackers (Spellhowlers, Silver Rangers): Ambush squishy ranged damage dealers as soon as their crowd-control skills or defensive tools are spent.
- Frontline Tanks and Bruisers: Ignore heavily armored targets at the start of a round. Only engage them once their backline is down or when your entire team can focus fire on an isolated, debuffed target.
Hug arena pillars and outer walls while repositioning. Breaking line of sight interrupts ranged auto-attacks and targeted spells, forcing opposing players to either misposition or turn away from your frontline allies.
Skill Combos and Burst Execution
Ghost Hunter burst relies on landing uninterrupted hard crowd control followed instantly by high-damage strikes and rare skills. If your initial combo fails to kill the target, do not linger to trade standard basic attacks. Fall back and wait for your cooldowns.
| Ability Type | Battlefield Function | Tactical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow Hide / Camouflage | Stealth approach and reset | Ambush through blind spots or drop enemy targeting to disengage. |
| Assassination Rush / Stun Skills | Gap-closer and hard lockdown | Close distance instantly and immobilize unprotected casters or healers. |
| Sting | Bleed and sustained damage | Apply immediately after landing hard crowd control to stack damage. |
| Rare Skills (Missile Bolt / Meteor) | Burst finisher | Fire simultaneously with standard stuns to bypass defensive healing. |
To execute the core sequence:
- Approach from the flanks using stealth or blind angles after your frontline engages.
- Gap-close with your stun ability to lock down the priority target.
- Cast Sting alongside your rare skills (such as Missile Bolt or Meteor) while the target cannot react.
- If the target survives and uses an invulnerability shield or retaliates, retreat behind cover until your crowd control resets.
Contesting Arena Buff Orbs
Neutral buff orbs spawn in central and peripheral positions throughout the match, granting substantial stat enhancements including bonus damage, increased movement speed, and defensive shields.
Because Ghost Hunters possess high mobility, use these spawns to create tactical advantages:
- Securing Open Buffs: If your teammates lock down or push back the enemy team, dash to the orb to secure the buff uncontested.
- Ambushing Enemy Collectors: When an opposing ranged dealer or healer steps forward to claim a buff, treat the orb spawn as a trap. Strike from stealth while their attention is split between movement and collection.
Surviving Pressure and Resetting
Ghost Hunters lack natural defensive survivability and cannot afford to absorb stray area-of-effect abilities. Manage your health and positioning with these habits:
- Break Lock-on Targeting: Duck behind arena pillars immediately if targeted by ranged opponents.
- Use Stealth Defensively: Reserve stealth or invulnerability tools as escape options if you are caught in an enemy crowd-control sequence.
- Retreat to the Periphery: Once your stun and burst skills are on cooldown, withdraw from the center of the fight. Re-engage only when your full combination is ready to secure another elimination.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
This saved me time in the early game.
Good guide for Lineage 2: Revolution players. The strategy part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
