Gear


Slot 1 – Alejandra's Scythe (Ghost Rider Unique)- Nice damage, damage on physical (chain powers), crit rating, +1 Strength, chance on hit to fear nearby enemies, chance on hit to deal a portion of an enemies max health as damage. +To Chain powers. A very very handy Unique, and built for us! Lets use it!

Slot 2 – Quenten Carnival Jumpsuit (Ghost Rider Unique) - Makes us extremely tanky with health, regen, Dodge, a chance to weaken enemies (10% less damage output) with our Inferno, and +loads of points to Protect the Innocent, Dread and Infernal Will. Since we're choosing between those two as to which to max and which to dump points into, this unique is super awesome.

Slot 3 – Blood Signed Contract (Ghost Rider Unique) - is really great in that it buffs all of our good passives, Inferno, Penance Stare, gives us crit and brutal, and some mental damage for Inferno. The only thing we really don't use is the bonus points to our Infernal Contract, but otherwise its pretty darn awesome and we should take it.

Slot 4 – Craig 'Crash' Simpson's Engineer Boots (Ghost Rider Unique) - Slightly underwhelming. Pretty tanky, some nice spirit, nice attack speed..but on the whole not great and we don't get great +Skills. We should probably get Sandals of Hercules (any hero), Hand Assassin Ninja Tabi (any hero) or even Alpha Flight Snowshoes (any hero) for Tankiness. Avoid these if we can get a better option.

Slot 5 – Infernal Chopper (Ghost Rider Unique) is not that great for this build because we don't use any Vengeance Powers for damage (our bike tree). Really, we'll need to find something else to fill our slot 5. The crit rating and speed are nice, but I would suggest the new Mask of Algrim (any hero) for a tanky option or a well-rolled Cosmic. Up to you.

Artifacts


Advanced Meta - We have the opportunity to get our good skills really high anyway, lets keep it up.

Idol of Khonshu - Gives us +damage while swapping up Ranged/Melee attacks and since Chain Lash is tagged as both we get the benefit constantly.

Super Soldier Serum - Spirit/health/etc. Good tanky option. Possibly Advanced Crystal instead for more Chains Damage.

Advanced Kung Fu - A melee character's best friend. Lots of solid tanky stats and some damage.

Other


Blessings: I would recommend Hela's for the brutal since we can get some crit. Odins might be good as well so we can Whirling Chain forever and our real problem here is bosses.

Costume: +1 Fighting and +1 Strength Promethean core since we use Chain powers and the damage is physical.

Insignia: Penance is built for Ghost Rider, but since we won't be juggling a lot I like O'Grady.

Legendary: Leaning towards Gungir. With the stat rework possibly Norn Stones, Excalibur for flat melee damage is a good option also.

Medallion: Something tanky. Possibly Kingpin, Kurse, Sabretooth, Bullseye if you're lacking Uniques for crit. Ghost Rider doing so many varied damage types and needing tanky stats might also do well with a cosmic Taskmaster or Doom.

Relics: Lemurias for life on hit

Uru item: Physical/Melee Uru with Heartbreaker (crit) or Bonebreaker (yet another +1 Strength possibility)

Leveling Strategy


We get Chain Lash fairly early, and Whirling Chains soon after. At that point we'll just be spamming Inferno, letting Whirling Chains and Chain Lash do the cleanup-and occasionally hitting our Chains Ablaze buff when we need some damage assistance (Blues/Yellows/Bosses). Overall his playstyle is fairly simple and he shouldn't die too much, so enjoy!

Playstyle


A. Wheelie around and find enemies to murder.

B. Drop an Inferno, Wheelie into the middle of it.

C. Use Whirling Chain while standing in Inferno to regen tons of health and do lots of AOE.

D. Penance Stare and Chain Lash anything left!

E. Make sure to Penance Stare when a boss is at low health to look like this:
