User blog:MKsmashed/Bot Tips: SPECTRE

Welcome to Bot Tips! This will cover the Spectre! I hope for the few wiki users who use a Spectre get better because of this! To everyone else...I apologize.

OVERVIEW
The Spectre has low health. So it must be used carefully. To make up for this, it has a good walking speed, powerful ability, and insanely high firepower with 4 medium hardpoints. This allows 4 Shocktrains, 4 Orkans, 4 Scourges, etc.

Its ability, Decend, allows it to perform a jump and have stealth while jumping. It keeps its stealth for a few seconds once it is on the ground.

SETUPS
These are (painfully) valid setups:

Knife Fighter: 4 Orkans, 4 Scourges, 4 Storms, 4 Tarans

Mid-Ranger: 4 Hydras, 4 Tulumbases, 4 DerpTrains

Ambusher: 4 Vortexes

STRATEGY
The Spectre is best played in Close-Combat, always allowing the team to keep moving forward into enemy territory. It certainly doesn't need to be with its team though, as it can easily hold its own in combat. Whatever setup you're using, make sure you use your ability wisely. As a knife fighter, charge up front and get into cover. Then, once an enemy comes close, use your ability to jump up from cover and unload. This strategy works best using Orkans, as you may kill them right there. In any case, after the jump, move out from cover and finish them off. You should have stealth during this time. Move forward, get into cover, repeat. If the enemy is weak enough, don't use your ability. As a Mid-ranger, you may actually want to with a team. Shocktrains and Tulumbases are emptied quickly, so move from cover, fire, and repeat. Hydras can be extremely annoying, and so people will want to target you (more than they already do! - see next section). They can do high damage if given the time and protection. Stay with teamates and cover if you're using this.

A BRIEF NOTE ON THE SPECTRE
The Spectre is hated, as it is a Pay-to-win bot. It is ridiculously overpowered. If you use one, EVERYONE WILL TARGET YOU. Be aware of this if you decide to use it.

SUMMARY
Overall, you really can't do wrong if you use a Spectre. You will most likely be first on your team, not matter whether you win or lose. The sheer firepower it possesses allows it to many enemies almost instantly. I'd recommmend using one if you like winning. If you're looking to make friends, look elsewhere.
