nice guide :3 but is it okay to build heart of tarrasque and skadi together?

Never build Heart on Spectre unless you're against massive amounts of Pure damage, like Timbersaw + another source. For mathematical reasons.

Two Skadis is pretty overkill, though, since you pretty easily breach 3.5k hp with only one and the rest of your items.

good guide very good indeed! aqila ring is great on spectra when i get good start i finish my boots and go radiance,if i fall behind i get morbid mask and diff blade lifesteal is not that bad on spectra you can clear jungle camps and can fight a bit better early game you can get helm of dominator and satanic later! Skadi,tarrasqe,butterfly,radiance,monkey and even refresher are all good on spectra urn and drums are more for early agressive aproach,vanguard is option as well very versitale hero,she can carry auras even shiva,vlads,or ***oult curias and pipe.she can be whatever you want her to be teamfighter,tank,utility aura carier,ganker like no other,or even initator with her global ult.she is like abbadon who scales to latgame.powerfull hero all around not just as lategame carry

I rarely have terrible games as Spectre with this build so I don't really have the knowledge of the best items when behind. However, drums + diffusal seems like a decent idea and I did include blademail. S&Y seems like a decent idea though.

On Medusa I think if you stick to the game plan and get diffusal after radiance your going to have a timing in which your stronger. Spectre ult also kills the supports, so you can always save the Medusa for last. Late game Spectre vs late game Medusa is a very fun matchup though :3

Your right about silver edge. That's a decent counter to Spectre so I will add that as well as some other heroes to watch out for. TY for feedback.

Hey! you made a guide about one of the most underrated carries in the game. And that gives me such a joy that someone finally explains this hero decently and without 13420 Grammar and dictionary mistakes :D. i think the "Help! Game is going bad!" needs some changes. a great build when you are behind is yasha into Sange which completes your S&Y and after that you can build a Basher and then a AC isn't bad followed by bkb and/or Linken's depending on your enemy lineup. I find urn and aquilla great items for the "getting rekt" build. spectre is a hero that can let his team lose 4v5 fights and then win the game 1v5. the same rules can be applied to sven or medusa. i find game is going bad needs a bracer in the mix of early items because it gives some very effective stats. a bracer+treads on STR and a ring of aquilla and a urn will let you farm your S&Y very safely. That's all i have. the rest of the guide is amazing but your friends foes part needs to be a bit longer. some other foes include silver edge. early non-mid snowballers (remove the snowbally mid heroes thing) like slark and night stalker. and above all... maybe the queen of all carries medusa. her ult is MUCH superior to yours and her laning is much stronger. A clever medusa will make you cry in the late-game because of her OP ultimate. if you pick spectre into medusa. you have to go for a fast-paced spectre with stuff like blademail and vanguard and basher. which is not ideal. rat doto best doto with radiance and BoTs and octarine core and manta and maelstorm and bkb works fine too :D i think adding these information to your guide will make it better. 1+ fo sho!

Medusa can only cry to skilled spectra diff blade,and radiace burn down her mana shield in seconds without mana medusa will die in about 2 seconds and with your global presence you can allweuss wait out her ult and then slice her(i mean butcher) her to oblivion.so i would say specra is a counter to medusa not the other way around.

I like this guide a lot. It's very informative, well laid out, and presents a solid build that I think should be relatively successful. I enjoy the fact that you acknowledge some of the hero's weaknesses and make sensible choices such as not to immediately rush Radiance, etc.

Have my +1, why don't you?
