Spectre has no shield; only has its descend ability to protect itself against shots and has low hp compared to dashbots.
What would be your preferred setup based on above?

I currently use my one Specter in quad Tulu or quad Hydra setups.
When I can my 2nd Specter in about 4 weeks, I'll field a Shocktrain Specter. Honestly, what weapons can't be made to work on a Specter?

Depends on your playstyle. Shocktrain and Orkan seem to be the top league preference for now.

Spectre is fragile, so any weapon set that forces the Spectre to be exposed for long in order to deliver the payload makes it fatally vulnerable. With that in mind, Orkan, ST, Tulumbas, Ion, or Vortex would be best, then Hydras. Scourge could work due to the 600m range, but that negates the increased damage done when the Scourge-bearer nears its target.

I was planning on running my Spectre with STs, but am running them with Orkans. It is so much more fun! Despite it's fragility, I can usually take out 2 bots before I die. Those 4 Orkans are so OP.

I concur with orkans on a spectre... I have a level 7 spectre, with 4 level 9 orkans..even with shields, most won't survive... I could run a hangar of spectres and be very happy.

I had a lot of fun with storm spectre on skirmish mode. If my storms were levelled I'd love to run it because it does massive damage and isn't dependent on one burst like the orkan build. Good for when you're facing multiple enemies or enemies in quick succession. Gotta be careful with descend though and pick your battles
That said I'm currently running orks and it can kill pretty much any robot with its crazy burst damage.

Best option is scourges, mk2 12. You will bust right thru bulga shield and kill it when you jump at it at 100m

Despite the monster firepower of Orkan and Taran builds i think Tulumbas is the best fit for it.
I run all three.
And Vortex is a ton of fun if you can make it work.

The Storm build is godlike.

Descend at less than 200m away from target.

Honestly, what weapons can't be made to work on a Specter? [br I run both of those set-ups and i like it. I would have to say that the tulu spec is my fav bot but I do have to say it's probably my least practical. To much fun to park it though. It's my shocktrain hunter. |

Almost any setup will be fun and powerful with a Spectre. I've only played an Orkan Spectre, but I'd love to try...
Ion (more damage than a Zeus Fury)
Tulumbas (I love RDBs in 6 pack, so I would probably love an RDB Spectre too)
Vortex (just seems like such a fun set up)
Punisher/Molot (with that much firepower would eat through any shield I imagine, would love to try it)
Storm (especially with an Ecu shield. Downside is that with an ecu shield, you need high leveled storms or you won't take out enemies fast enough)
Hydra (not too interested, but I'd be willing to play it)
Shocktrain (I'd prefer to run the other setups, but it's arguably the most OP setup in the game)
Only setups I wouldn't want is a Taran Spectre and Ballista Spectre. The Ballista because it's basically a weaker Trebuchet, and I wouldn't even put Trebuchet's on a Spectre if I could (since the Shocktrain is essentially a Trebuchet that fires twice as fast and has chain damage). And the Tarans...idk, personal preference.

Shocktrain will be number 1 for sure if they introduce that no lock-on “nerf”. In general though I think firewoman is right - almost any spectre build will be a solid choice. |

I just got mine to level 6 and figured I'd keep tulus on it and stay out of harm's way because it's not up to max speed. Seems to work great. After I get it to 9 i'll bring the other Tulu's up to 9 as well.

was reluctant to try the taran build but now it’s the most used bot in my hangar.

I vote orkan. But since now I've 4 pulsars (3 won from giveaway + 1 from Battle crate) I try to run this build.
Currently its still at lower level 4.. but I use it as support bots in locking up reds from getting near any beacon.

Scourge would be great, but only mk2.
I think.

I prefer either shocktrain or tulus on Spectres. More bang for your buck that way. Orkans, at least when I've used them, leave you too exposed since you have to get up close and personal. Mid range it's easier to do pop up attacks from afar and get back into cover.

I open with an Orkan build in KoTH matches on small maps cause pillars let reds to hide from Tarans and with a Hover on large maps to cap beacons; apart from that the taran build is my opening bot. |

Working on building up a Spectre with Orks in the new workshop now.
Seems to me that is the set-up which does the most damage when it lands near one of my Bots.
It's like an up-close and personal in your face send off. I don't like it when one "Drops by to say Hello".
That's precisely why I want one. It should be in my hanger by the weekend.
I like the new Workshop.  |
