A darkness who was ancient even in the early days of the world's existence, Mercurial is the embodiment of rage and vengeance in the souls of those long dead.

Drafting

Pick Spectre if your team need Carry / you are pros in farming.
Don't pick Spectre if your ally isn't good in support.


Lane

3 1 1 lane is suited best for Spectre. But if your ally doesn't like it. Go to the lane that you can pulls your creeps into neutral creeps.

Early game's Strategy

Spectre is Carry hero, just keep farming until you got radiance. Carry hero's way to success is just two : Die less than 3 and farming until die XD.

Mid game's Strategy

In mid game, Try to be safe when you enter the war. Just come to the war if one of your enemy have very less HP. Still focus on farming. Keep your money until you can buy Radiance. But if your team is in losing position, just buy Blade Mail first. With blade mail you can participate war often.

War game's Strategy and Ganking's Strategy

When on war or ganking, You just need to come with Haunt, and kill enemy with less HP. It is different when you have Radiance / Blade Mail. There are two types : you can become initiator which open the war, or become semi initiator which come to war exactly after war is occured.

Late game's Strategy

Like i said before in Traxex Guide, It's carry's responsibility to drive his team to victory. In equally strong late game, The death of carry can rotate all of the road game. Don't be so proud of yourself and do committed suicide by come to the tiger's nest alone. XD

Okay, that's all for Spectre DotA Guide. Enjoy DotA Gamers !
