How this matchup plays

Trying to gank Spectre with Charge of Darkness is often a wasted effort. If Spectre has vision of the incoming charge, she can simply use Spectral Dagger to phase through trees or up a cliff, making it impossible for Spirit Breaker to connect. Even if he does manage to get on top of her, Dispersion will reflect a significant amount of damage back onto him. The biggest problem for Spirit Breaker is Haunt, which completely counters his global ganking style by allowing Spectre to instantly join any fight he starts and turn it around.

This dynamic leaves Spirit Breaker with very few good plays. His entire game plan revolves around creating early pressure with successful ganks, but charging Spectre's allies becomes a huge risk when Haunt is available. This allows Spectre to farm more safely than she normally would, accelerating her to the point where she's unkillable. Once she has her core items, Spirit Breaker can no longer threaten her or her team. Instead, Spectre becomes the hunter, and Spirit Breaker lacks the tools to fight her or escape her illusions.
