Spectre retains the radial volley attack of [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]], its previous upgrade, but deals 3 damage instead of 1. Like Neva-Miss Targeting, each homing dart of the Spectre's dart volleys will decelerate if the target is not within a 20° cone of their current trajectory and accelerate if the target is within a 5° cone, allowing them to make much tighter turns in the air to avoid missing their targets. This seeking style is shared with [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]]'s Divine Bolts. | Spectre retains the radial volley attack of [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]], its previous upgrade, but deals 3 damage instead of 1 and lasts longer.

===Front attack=== | |||
The front attack consists of an alternating rapid-fire attack of homing darts and bombs. Both projectiles move in a straight line and are able to rotate towards bloons from any distance. Bombs seek bloons up to a 45° cone from its direction, and seek at 45°/second. Darts seek bloons up to a 30° cone but have infinite seeking rate. Unlike the homing darts, the darts and bombs of the front attack neither accelerate nor decelerate. | The front attack consists of an alternating rapid-fire attack of homing darts and bombs.

Spectre is an effective yet very expensive mid-game carry on many maps. Unlike its previous upgrade, [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]], Spectre's rapid attack speed limits its synergy with [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]. However, its attacks already have high enough base pierce and damage to reliably handle rounds 63, 76, and 78 on maps with reasonable track length. It falls off in the late game since it takes too many hits to destroy Super Ceramics and wastes shots chasing strays. Since the barrage always targets First, it is recommended that the Spectre flies ahead of the Bloons. | Spectre is an effective yet very expensive mid-game carry on many maps.
