    Intro
    Ninja is arguably one of the best offensive classes. Most people just enderpearl away from the flag room when capping, but this method is hard to use as you will probably be found and killed. (That sounds a lot worse than it is.). There is one method you can use on multiple maps to get away safely: Ghost Capping.
    What To Do And Important Facts
    • Ninja takes one and a half seconds to take the flag - making it the slowest class to get the flag. So, if you see a soldier or medic going for the flag, you might as well create a distraction or back out. In fact if you see another ninja there first you should create a distraction for that person. @2pekippy did this for me once when I was ghost capping.
    • It takes longer for an enderpearl to hit a lower platform. Imagine if you are 20 blocks high and you throw and enderpearl tona platform 1 block high. This will give you more time to get to the flag and take it, but if you get there too fast and the enderpearl is still on its way down, you will probably be seen and killed.
    • Throw an enderpearl up, not straight. If you throw it up, it will take about 8-10 seconds for it to land depending on if you were looking straight up or slightly askew. Normally if you throw it askew, you'd be throwing it on a lower platform because it takes less time to hit the ground. But you should really use your judgement on where to throw it.
    • Know how close you are to the flag to judge where to throw your enderpearl. If you are far away from the flag, look for a lower platform.
    • You need to be in a more open are to be able to throw your pearl high up. Sadly, you can't really ghost cap on maps with no open areas like opposites collide where the only open areas are really far from the flag.
    If you put this altogether, you should be able to ghost cap. Keep in mind that this skill requires A LOT of practice and you will fail a lot. You also have to be creative as to where you ghost cap. On some maps you can throw your enderpearl in the weirdest places, and you can find that out for yourself. If you want to see a ghost cap in action you can go check out @Billhelm 's YouTube videos on ninja montages, or you can go check out my unedited offensive gameplay video on YouTube. I'd put a link, but I'm on a tablet so I can't. Towards the end of my vid I ghost cap. If you want to find my channel, just look up Xaethros and you should find it. If you want to find Billy's channel look up Billhelm.
    I hope this helps!

    It only take ninja 1.5 seconds to pick up the flag.

    I think that's to pick it up... but I've noticed that it takes longer to steal the flag. Not sure though... correct me if I'm wrong.

    It takes 1.5 seconds to steal it,yes. What else would you be talking about? The pickup from someone who dropped it is instant as of now, but should be 1.5 seconds as well.

    Nice guide, but I don't think we should be advocating a rather cheap form of capping.

    Even though most (if not all) experienced players have ghosted before.

    Ghost capping is why we can't have nice things. Well, at least not nice flag rooms. :rage:
