Spectre Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Spectre in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Spectre beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Spectre is the premier late-game carry: Dispersion reflects damage, Spectral Dagger chases, and Haunt lets her teleport to every enemy at once for a global pickoff. She out-scales nearly the entire hero pool — immobile, greedy heroes like Nature's Prophet, Templar Assassin, Mars and Timbersaw simply lose the long game to her. Spectre is countered by the rare heroes who beat her scaling: Meepo ends the game before she comes online, while Undying and Necrophos out-sustain her. Draft tip: Spectre is a top-tier hard-carry into almost any greedy or immobile draft; her only real counters are fast-snowball (Meepo) and break/anti-heal line-ups.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Spectre hardest are Lycan, Visage and Undying — Spectre wins only 40.3%, 40.6% and 41.1% of ranked matches against them.
