Talk:Specter/@comment-172.15.16.99-20151015204752

It should be noted that each Tenno can deploy one of each kind of Spectre in every match. In my clan we have 7 people, 2 of which are allied with New Loka and 3 of them are allied with Cephalon Suda and Arbiters of Hexis. (I am not sure about the other 2.)

When doing a T3 defense, we deployed 2 Ancients, 2 Ospreys, 2 Corrupted Lancers, and 2 Vapor Specters. We put up a snow globe and only shot the enemy Nullifiers.

We made it to 15 rounds before we had to shoot anything else at all. The moral: alone specters may not be much, but together they are very, very potent. Three or four of them together most certainly CAN form the "5th man" in a squad, just don't expect a miracle from a single specter alone.

In addition, when soloing T1/T2 content like Survival, the combination of Corrputed Lancer and Osprey specters is especially good. The Osprey keeps the shields up on the lancer most of the time, and the Lancer does enough damage to self-heal the damage he takes while the shields are down. This is practical for around 30-40 minutes in T1 before the sheer volume of bombards usually wipes them out. (And works especially well if you bring a high duration Nyx with Mind Freak and get control of a Heavy Gunner...)

But for what it's worth, Rollers have no use at all aside from being dirtractions. Even against low level infested they die in just a couple hits, and any enemy with guns kills them in mere seconds. Freeze Force has some potential if you tell the roller to hold position right beside a pod, but that's a niche tactic that's pointless since, if you've got Freeze Force, then you also have Snow Globe.
