Tips and Tricks
Spectre’s lane presence is subpar. She must be selected by a squad that can mainly support her during the laning phase.
Enemies will probably try to exploit Spectre’s poor early-game performance. As you laning, make sure you always have adequate mana for your Spectral Dagger so you can flee from enemies trying to kill you.
Spectre’s primary goal should be acquiring Radiance, which greatly increases her fighting and farming prowess.
Spectre’s Ability
SPECTRAL DAGGER
When Spectre throws a dagger, it creates a Shadow Path that deals damage and slows down any opponents it encounters. Units struck by the dagger leave a Shadow Path in their wake. Spectre phases over otherwise inaccessible terrain while following the trail. When no ally units are present within 400 radius of a target, Spectral Dagger applies an instance of Desolate to that target.
DESOLATE
Whenever Spectre engages an enemy who has no allies within a 400.0-radius of them, extra damage is dealt.
DISPERSION
Spectre’s opponents take damage from her, yet she is unscathed. Distance causes the effect to diminish.
HAUNT
Assembles a phantom adversary to assault each enemy hero. Similar to Shadow Step illusions, those produced by this ability can likewise be switched to utilizing Reality.
