The Spectre is simply too expensive to justify running on either version, as its role in heavy ceramic cleanup is effectively outclassed by cheaper alternatives like [[Ice Shards (BTD5)|Ice Shards]], [[Bloon Impact (BTD5)|Bloon Impact]] on the flash version or [[Bloon Dissolver (BTD5)|Bloon Dissolver]] on the mobile version. Its advantage over other alternatives is the global range it has, which can be effective on tougher maps where all other options are suboptimal.
The Spectre’s role in heavy ceramic cleanup is greatly outclassed by cheaper alternatives like [[Ice Shards (BTD5)|Ice Shards]], [[Bloon Impact (BTD5)|Bloon Impact]] on the flash version or [[Bloon Dissolver (BTD5)|Bloon Dissolver]] on the multiplatform version. However, its advantage over other alternatives is the global range it has, which can be effective on tougher maps where all other options are suboptimal.


On the mobile version, due to the sub-projectile duplication bug it stands much more of a chance in the late game as it can damage grouped MOABs enough by itself, but struggles to do enough damage to BFBs and above.
On the multiplatform version, due to the sub-projectile duplication bug it stands much more of a chance in the late game as it can damage grouped MOABs enough by itself, but struggles to do enough damage to BFBs and above. [[Apache Dartship (BTD5)|Apache Dartship]], despite the higher cost, does much more single-target damage while having similar grouped damage.


Crosspathing is redundant unless Camo detection is required, as the exploding pineapples do not contribute meaningfully to its overall DPS.
