Lore:
Just as higher states of energy seek a lower level, Spectre Dota 2, a being of intense and violent power, Mercurial is compelled to be present in conflicts as they occur in the physical world.
She can transcend sensory boundaries in her normal spectral state but suffers from a loss of identity each time she takes physical manifestation. She reorganized herself during the clash of conflict.

Butterfly: Adds agility and evasion, increasing the damage output and durability of Spectre Dota 2 and her illusions.

Gameplay
Early Game:
Your sole responsibility at this point in the game is to farm as much as you can. You will have enough money to purchase whatever items you require to lead the team to victory.
Be wary of enemy nukes and harassing in the early game. As a melee hero, your job is to keep a safe distance from the enemy’s attack range and approach creeps only when they have low health.
Mid Game:
You should keep an eye on the enemy icons on the map, and if one opponent is gone, you should take cover in your tower, which keeps us safe. If the creep equilibrium is not close to your building, you can also go jungling.
If a team fight is taking place distant from where you are, you can lend a hand with Haunt. If necessary, jump there utilizing Reality and engage the opponent.
Late Game:
It’s your chance to shine in the final moments. The essential items you need to play the game must be present here. In every team fight, you should Haunt each enemy and deal damage to them before entering the middle and attacking each opposing hero one at a time.
Concentration is the secret to success. So long as you maintain clicking the appropriate adversary and not the creeps, you will succeed.
Counters
Anti Mage:
Spectre is helpless to thwart Blink’s attempts to flee or initiate. Spectre is unable to halt Anti-Mage, who is adept at eliminating opponent support. Spectre’s mana reserves are depleted against Mana Break. Manta Style blocks desolate harm using illusions.
Lion:
Hex and Mana Drain swiftly end her illusion when Spectre Haunts. Quick-fingered Lions can protect themselves and their teammates. If Spectre doesn’t gain defences like Linken’s Sphere and Black King Bar, lockdown spells like Hex and Ground Spike can control and destroy her.
Lycan:
Because of Shapeshift’s faster movement, Spectre is powerless to retaliate against Lycan for split pushing or picking off supports. In addition, he will kite Haunt and avoid being hampered by Spectral Dagger.
Lycan is commonly part of an early-game push plan, which is typically the best reaction to Spectre because she needs a lot of time and space to come online as a late-game carry.
Meepo:
To swiftly lockdown and bust Spectre, Poof and Earthbind can be employed.
Due to his playstyle of joining the game early to mid-game and seizing control of it, Meepo will usually be far ahead of Spectre in farming.
Advantageous Matchups
Clockwerk + Spectre:
Haunt can reveal potential Hookshot targets without employing Rocket Flare.
Earthshaker + Spectre:
The more units that Echo Slam hits, the more damage is dealt. The opponent team is compelled to disperse, increasing the chance that Haunt illusions may kill them.
Bounty Hunter + Spectre:
With the aid of Haunt, Spectre may find a Tracked enemy anywhere on the map.
Spectre will quickly accumulate enough gold from eliminating Tracked enemies to become invincible.
