Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spectre wins the Phantom Lancer vs Spectre matchup: Spectre beats Phantom Lancer in 50.34% of 2,183 ranked matches.
Getting swarmed by a wall of illusions is a terrible feeling, as Phantom Lancer's army can quickly drain a hero's mana and make it impossible to move. Spectre, however, is one of the few carries who can actually manage this. Her Dispersion automatically damages every single illusion that attacks her, thinning the herd considerably without her needing to do anything. The entire late-game duel comes down to a few key moments. If Spectre can use Haunt to find and isolate the real Phantom Lancer, she can often kill him before he can react. But if PL can survive that initial jump and get his own illusions hitting her, he can turn the fight around.
