Ghost LV 3 + I think around 3 Reload Upgrades results in immortality as soon as Ghost comes off cooldown as the cooldown is less than 3 seconds while duration is 3 seconds. This results in RPM essentially being the win condition assuming one isn't knocked off the stadium before ghost comes off cooldown.

Thanks for catching this! Fixed in v0.9.3. Ghost now starts recharging after the phase ends, so it can’t stay active forever. Really appreciate you playing and sharing this!
