Ghost Army enemy line

These monsters, resembling animated suits of armor armed with a javelin and shield, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game.

[edit] Ghost Army
- Ghost Army redirects here. For the Psynergy, see Ghost Soldier.
A Ghost Army is a level 32 variant with a yellow spear and plume. In The Lost Age it is fought throughout Jupiter Lighthouse.
The Ghost Army is mainly notable for its Pike Assault, which can be pretty damaging. But though it has the highest Defense rating, it is not as sturdy as the Blue Dragon, which has over 150 more HP. And unlike other monsters at Jupiter Lighthouse, this monster's dropped item is not a unique piece of equipment, so it is overall thought of as a "moderate" enemy.
A Ghost Army's statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Ghost Army | 250 | 18 | 342 | 136 | 133 | 25 |
| Elemental Resistances | Turns | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | |
 152  100  72  25
|
1 | 454 | 254 |  Mist Potion
|
1/64 | |
A Ghost Army uses these battle commands:
| Command | Chance to use | Elem. Stats used with * | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | 5/8 (62.5%) |
{{{command1usedwith}}} | Standard physical attack. |
| Pike Assault | 2/8 (25%) |
{{{command2usedwith}}} | Enemy ability where the user charges blue energy into itself, then bolts forward to powerfully strike a targeted Adept with a blue cylindrical burst of energy upon impact. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack equal to its normal physical attack multiplied by 1.4%, and the attack has a chance to ignore 50% of the target's Defense statistics. Ghost Army has a Jupiter elemental power rating of 95 to use this with. |
| Sonic Slash | 1/8 (12.5%) |
{{{command3usedwith}}} | Psynergy costing 20 PP that projects three wide glowing swaths of energy through the party of Adepts. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack with a power rating of 120 and a range of 5. Ghost Army would use this with a Jupiter elemental power rating of 95... but it's maximum PP is 2 short of it's requirement. It will never attempt to use this command in vain though, always choosing other commands. |
[edit] Soul Army
A Soul Army is a level 37 variant with a light-blue spear and plume. In The Lost Age it is fought throughout Yampi Desert Cave.
The Soul Army is about the same level of threat in proportion to the monsters in Yampi Desert Cave as the Ghost Army is to the monsters in Jupiter Lighthouse, though with group-based Psynergy spells that actually work. Pike Assault can be pretty damaging. It randomly drops one of the game's better Forgeable Materials, making it extremely popular to abuse the Random Number Generator against to guarantee that Mythril Silver can be amassed.
A Soul Army's statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Soul Army | 356 | 54 | 508 | 207 | 156 | 26 |
| Elemental Resistances | Turns | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | |
| 152 100 72 25
|
1 | 586 | 299 |  Mythril Silver
|
1/128 | |
A Soul Army uses these battle commands:
| Command | Chance to use | Elem. Stats used with * | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | 4/8 (50%) |
{{{command1usedwith}}} | Standard physical attack. |
| Pike Assault | 2/8 (25%) |
{{{command2usedwith}}} | Enemy ability where the user charges blue energy into itself, then bolts forward to powerfully strike a targeted Adept with a blue cylindrical burst of energy upon impact. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack equal to its normal physical attack multiplied by 1.4%, and the attack has a chance to ignore 50% of the target's Defense statistics. Soul Army has a Jupiter elemental power rating of 95 to use this with. |
| Destruct Ray | 1/8 (12.5%) |
{{{command3usedwith}}} | Psynergy costing 21 PP that causes a thick array of thick purple lightning to thoroughly strike down through the party of Adepts. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack with a power rating of 150 and a range of 3. Soul Army uses this with a Jupiter elemental power rating of 95. |
| Tempest | 1/8 (12.5%) |
{{{command4usedwith}}} | Psynergy costing 27 PP that causes four large, electrically charged tornadoes to cycle through the positions of the party of Adepts. Deals a Jupiter-aligned attack with a power rating of 160 and a range of 5. Soul Army uses this with a Jupiter elemental power rating of 95. |
[edit] Spirit Army
Like with all other enemy lines introduced in The Lost Age that seem to have only two variants, a third palette-swapped variant to this line exists in the code of the game cart and was even given its own name, but has none of its statistics and abilities coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used it would have appeared as a variant with a violet spear and plume named Spirit Army.
