Spectre — hero grid for mains
Everything for a grid built around Spectre: carry (1), places in the site's ready layouts, OpenDota numbers as of 23 Sept 2026 and a grid with Spectre already in Mains.

In-game name and nicknames
Spectre is what the game calls the hero in every client; Russian-speaking players say “Спектра” (or “спектр”). In chat Spectre also goes by “spec”.
Valve's one-line description from the hero list: “Haunts her enemies and teleports to her target”.
In the editor's hero picker, typing “Spectre” or “Спектра” or “spec” brings up Spectre.
Attribute, attack and roles
Spectre: Agility attribute, shared with 34 other heroes; melee attack; Valve rates the complexity medium, 2 of 3.
Valve's roles for Spectre, rated 1 to 3: Carry ●●●, Durable ●○○, Escape ●○○ — maxed out: Carry.
By attributes puts Spectre in the “AGILITY” (22nd of 35) block; By complexity — in the “MEDIUM” (45th of 59) band.
Positions and lanes
Spectre is a one-position hero — carry (1); no other score goes above 0.05. The site's position scores (best = 1) are carry 1 · mid 0.05 · offlane 0.01 · soft support 0 · hard support 0, so Pick by stats puts the hero into the “1 · CARRY” row only.
| Position | Score |
|---|---|
| 1 · Carry | 1 |
| 2 · Mid | 0.05 |
| 3 · Offlane | 0.01 |
| 4 · Soft support | 0 |
| 5 · Hard support | 0 |
Median gold per minute for Spectre is 600, experience 863 — core-level gold on the site's scale (540 and up); by lane, 1,323 parsed OpenDota matches as of 23 Sept 2026 split 96% safe, 3% mid and 1% off.
Where to put the hero in your grid
The positions layout is ready-made: Classic: positions 1–5 puts Spectre in “1 · CARRY” (7th of 18).
Spectre in other layouts: Meta by stats — “CARRY”, 3rd of 10; Two columns — “CORES”, 7th of 44.
With the button at the top, the MAINS block of Mains + situational starts with Spectre, then Phantom Assassin, Faceless Void and Ursa, because all three share the same main position (carry), the same attribute and melee attack.
The file goes into your Steam folder, 570 → remote → cfg of your account, with Dota closed — step by step in the install guide.
