* This weapon is very powerful as of the 13.1.0 update, with its damage buffed back to a 1 shot kill.

* This weapon does travel through walls, so if you see a name tag over a wall that you are near, fire and hopefully get a kill.
  +
* This weapon has a slow fire rate. After you fire it, switch to another weapon and use that weapon until you can fire again.

* Pick off its user(s) from long ranges. It will not hit you at a long range because the ghost breaks after a while.

* Try not to get near its projectiles, since you may be killed.
* When the user fires the weapon, try to evade the path of the projectile, while also keeping an eye on the user.
 
  +
* Don't get in close range (unless doing so from behind). [[Rocket Jump (PG3D)|Rocket Jump]] or use a [[Melee]] to get out of the situation.
* If engaged in a close quarter fight, try strafing around the user.
 
  +
* Use flamethrowers, [[Ninja Shurikens]], or whatever other weapons are good at an emergency situation. At the worst-case scenario, use this weapon, or the [[Soulstone]], yourself. If you are good with snipers, no- scope the Ghost Lantern user.
* Avoid getting trapped in areas where the ghost is heading, as the projectile can pass through objects.
 
  +
* Attack the user from behind.
* Always avoid tight hallways like the ones in [[Silent School]], as this weapon has a massive hitbox. Try retreating before the ghost-like "bullet" reaches to you and kills you.
 
  +
* Use the atrocious fire rate as your advantage, allowing you to dodge its projectiles (provided you maintain its distance).
* In cramped hallways, you have a high chance of dying due to the massive hitbox and the quick swapping glitch. You may die, but if you want to get a kill, try using the [[Trapper]], by aiming to the head.
 
  +
* Avoid areas with tight corners.
* Use the [[Ninja Shurikens]] against its users.
 
  +
* In somewhat open areas, a player can use a weapon with the "Slows Down Target" attribute such as the [[Icicle Minigun (PG3D)]] or the [[Frost Beam Spell]] to prevent the user from approaching, making the ghosts very easy to dodge even with rapid fire.
* Try to attack from the side of the person as the Ghost lantern also doubles as a shield from projectile-based weapons like the [[Barrier Rifle]], or the [[Laser Disc Thrower]].
