The most USEFUL items in Phasmophobia? Tier List



Hello! In this video I’ll be ranking all of the items in regards to their usefulness, ranking from S (most useful) to D (least useful). I’ll be explaining my reasoning for each one and why I think they belong there, and I’ll briefly explain how each item works for those who may be newer to the game!

  1. I think that all items sould move 1 down and D items go to E exept of thermometer and Sanity pills because Sanity pills feels like cheating and thermometer is best at finding the room and it is also giving you primary info.

  2. A fair rank for each item, and a superb informational video for new players.

    My friends that I play with seem hellbent on using the UV flashlight to check for footprints, even though we always bring glowsticks, which made me wonder if they actually knew that the glowstick does the same thing; but with less margin for error depending on how you drop the flashlight.

    On that point, something else you could do with the glowsticks, is to illuminate a path to a closet, should you foresee yourself be unfortunate enough to be caught in a hunt, without a flashlight.

    Not super likely, but if a friend is playing pack-mule, you might have saved them.

  3. Cant really agree with Sound Sensors being least useful, cause of the Countless times I used them in High school to cover the lower floor and spared me a lot of time finding the ghost room with it.

  4. I would place the tripods lower, as they are not necessary, and one big disadvantage is that they have to be held without scrolling to another item until they are placed, which is quite challenging.

  5. We use the glowstick for three things:
    1) Someone took the UV flashlight and lost it
    2) To get good photographs of Fingerprints without having to have someone pointing at it with the flashlight
    3) Raves.

  6. EMF tool is kinda questionable being S tier since it can seem a bit unreliable at times to pick up EMF5. The Van's chart is an easier way to get EMF5 evidence in my experience.

  7. I'd argue some evidence tools are less important than others. For example, the UV light can look for fingerprints sure, but so can a glow stick. Making it not the only option. Where as you need to use an EMF to get that reading. Thermometer is definitely an interesting case because it's not necessary to get freezing temperatures, but makes every run significantly easier. Book is also higher for me, since you can place it and forget about it, plus it gives you additional money for pictures.

  8. puts motion sensors in D meanwhile parabolic microphone is in C..

    WTF dude

    motion sensors are good for tracking where the ghost is during a hunt for example(especially the ones that light up).

    That way you can know wheter a revenant is going to fk you in the a** if you turn around that corner.(asylum example, i once got my butt saved by one lighting up at the corner, if it wasn't there i would've moved and died)

    infrared motion sensors are good along with sound detectors, sound detectors can make you guess correctly where the ghost usually is at/active.

  9. Loving the lists. Personally, I feel setting the ghost identifying items to S tier is a detriment to the list, and it may be more interesting to rank them according to their usefulness not to identify the ghost, but to locate the room. In any case, thank you for the video! 🙂

  10. I've started on this game a few days ago, and I don't know why but I've developed an unhealthy obsession with the Motion Sensors, it's already a running gag in my Group that I'll always run into the house with at least one of these first, lol.
