Learn how to unlock and use the Ghostly Shield passive in Ball X Pit to heal allies and boost survivability.
Ghostly Shield is a non-evolution passive in Ball X Pit that makes balls pass through allies and heal them for 2 HP. To unlock Ghostly Shield in Ball X Pit, you must have an Effigy passive equipped.
An Effigy passive is any passive with the word “Effigy” at the end of its name. Examples include Stone Effigy, Healer’s Effigy, and Archer’s Effigy. You have a chance to get an Effigy passive as one of your three level-up choices. Once you select an Effigy passive, there is a chance for Ghostly Shield to appear in the level-up selection.

How Ghostly Shield Works in Ball X Pit
The Ghostly Shield passive is among the best in the game for keeping your summoned allies, or Effigies, alive. Effigies are friendly statues that spawn on your side after every few rows. They buff the player or deal consistent damage to enemies, depending on the type of Effigy.
For example, the Archer’s Effigy spawns a stone archer with 219 health every 7-12 rows on your side. The stone archers shoot arrows at the nearest enemies. All Effigies are immune to ball damage and help eliminate enemies before they can reach the final row. However, summons are vulnerable to ball damage, and Ghostly Shield eliminates that risk of friendly fire.
Ghostly Shield dramatically increases the survivability of your Effigy allies by healing them for 2 HP every time a ball passes through them. At later stages of the game, Effigies can lose value as they quickly fall to the enemies’ sheer firepower. With the Ghostly Shield, your balls will likely heal them constantly while bouncing all over the battlefield. This keeps your allies in the fight for much longer, drastically increasing the value they provide.
The best Effigy and Summon passives to pair with Ghostly Shield are:
- Healer’s Effigy
- Golden Bull
- Archer’s Effigy
- Turret

When To Use Ghostly Shield in Ball X Pit
Ghostly Shield is a must-have passive if you are experimenting with an Effigy build. When you have multiple allies on the battlefield, Ghostly Shield will increase their survivability and value. However, the build requires at least two Effigy passives to spawn allies continuously during the run. With three or more Effigies and the Ghostly Shield passive to keep them alive, your allies won’t perish, eventually creating an army of your own on the battlefield.
Equipping three to four passives dedicated to allies means you will have to evolve and level up balls to increase your own DPS. At least one passive slot should be reserved for a powerful pick like Magick Staff, Pressure Valve, Fleet Feet, etc.
The best passives to pair Ghostly Shield with, besides more Effigies, are those that increase the fire rate or number of balls fired. This is because allies are healed for every ball that passes through them. The best passives to synergize with Ghostly Shield are:
- Artificial Heart: Increases the health of allies
- Baby Rattle: 1.5x baby balls
- Short Bow: +15% fire rate
- Slingshot: 25% chance to spawn a ball on gem pickup
