Specters

Dante

Specters are allied AIs that you can summon during missions to assist you.

Some are extremely useful and will greatly simplify the challenges of multiple game modes: it's worth preparing them in advance!

There are different types of specters:

Tenno Specters

There are 4 ranks of Tenno Specters:

  • only one (1) can be summoned per player at a given time
  • No power difference between those (it is determined by the current enemy level at summoning)
  • Allows having 4 different specters/loadouts
  • Lower rank specters are crafted in batches (x10 per craft for rank 1, 1 per craft for rank 4): configure lower ranks for the ones you'll play frequently

Limitations:

  • Do not use all abilities
  • Do not have mods equipped on the frame or weapons (BUT they benefit from Power Donation aura and Jade's power aura)
  • Struggle with ammunition-based weapons (prefer battery-based weapons)

Blueprint Acquisition

  • Dante: protection, damage buffs, primarily the Overguard buff from Final Verse which continuously regenerates Overguard after killing enemies
  • Wisp: health/speed regeneration
  • Protea: health/energy/ammo regeneration, summons her dispensary
  • Nidus: multiplicative power strength boost, applies his link upon summoning. Mostly used in high-level optimized static content (Defense, Arbitrations)
  • Citrine: survival, applies her damage reduction. Stacks with other Citrines present
  • Cyte: provides elemental ammo for weapons. Useful with the Ocuccor to maintain a single element permanently (the weapon recharges on each kill without changing magazine)
  • Primary: Shedu (battery, regular AoE stun)
  • Secondary: Tenet Cycron (battery, innate fire procs)
  • Melee: Mk1-Furax (tiny range, will favor other weapons)

Usage

  • Craft your specters at the Foundry
  • Equip your specters in your Arsenal's consumable wheel
  • Use your specters via the consumable wheel in-game

Syndicate Specters

We will primarily focus on the Ancient Protector specter from New Loka: it redirects 90% of damage taken by allies, including defense objectives!

It also grants immunity to stagger and knocked downs for nearby allies.

Crewmate (On-Call)

Unlocked with the Railjack Command Intrinsic at rank 9.

Prefer rank 10 to get Elite crewmates with passive buffs further increasing their damage (preferred buff: 150% critical chance on primary weapons).

Recruited from Ticker on Fortuna or at the Pontis Tower (recruit Jarka Lar).

They must be equipped on the Railjack via a Dry Dock (dojo or Saturn/Pluto relay), upgrade their Combat and Endurance stats, and select them as "On-Call". Then remember to equip their shortcut in your own Arsenal's consumable wheel.

For weapons, prefer an AoE weapon with poor ammo economy (these specters have infinite ammo): the Kuva Zarr is the most common choice. Note: modding is particular as some mods do not work properly.
