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.

Because of its high cost, [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] is the preferred Hero for Spectre in [[CHIMPS]], and on most maps the duo can save enough money to buy [[Flying Fortress (BTD6)|Flying Fortress]] to carry the rest of the game.

Top crosspath is preferred for higher DPS. 0-2-4, outside of challenges that require the Camo crosspath, is only beneficial on [[Race Event]]s and CT Time Attack, as the [[Exploding Pineapple (BTD6)|Exploding Pineapple]] crosspath offers much more pierce on its bombs than the overall attack speed and projectile bonuses.
