The Identity Of The Tenno Spectres Are....

[CapedBaldy]

So, I was having fun killing Tenno Spectres with my Dread and Hate (No despair) with Excalibur using Stalker colour scheme. Stalker shows up, says you wannabe, no, and 3 shots me before I could put any decent damage onto him. Talk about irony.

[Escantell]

I love this.  I've really been hoping for a better AI than the normal swarm/cover type AI of the other enemies, It's amazing to have a decent challenge. 

 

Though I must say, It can be a bit frustrating to have loki use my own abilities against me.

[fatpig84]

Lolki master race. :)

wot wot wot

 

hold on a sec here

 

havent been to dark sectors yet, but these specters are actually smart and difficult?

 

oh snap DE, make EVERY faction this smart asap

[tsubasakuroi]

I've seen Volts use Electrical Shield and use it as cover, but that's all I can report on them so far. Got close to one to see what would happen, and he ends up trying to melee instead and forget the shield was ever there.

[Fo0otsteps]

A rhino charged im in a mission so he doesnt use only iron skin
 

Still waiting for a reason why we are killing each other though

[HansJurgen]

I am not impressed about the hype.

 

These specters, even on Pluto, where their increased HP makes them bullet sponges, are far easier to beat than Zanuka, Stalker, G3. I haven't found them to be a challenge and I did not notice any smart use of ability. The AI limited line of sight makes them fairly weak, just like the Stalker (who, at least, can teleport next to you). If you keep your distance, and the Orokin Towers have large spaces anyway, 2-3 marelok shots, or 1 to the head and they are dead dead dead.

 

I find the drones to be more dangerous in every way.

 

In lower level rails, they pose no more danger than a butcher.

[zerogear5]

we are not killing each other its more of a honor thing. imagine how many clan owned dojos there are, now imagine us bumping heads over space or territory.  

[(PSN)The_Moustache]

Oh, this is going to be fun.

[Lightmagus]

I want to report that Excalibur's spectre uses Slash Dash along with Radial Blind.

Frost's spectre uses both Freeze and Ice Wave in rare occasions.

[OnnaJReverT]

just did my first rail-defense on ceres, a rhino face-tanked ~10 shots from my potatoed penta (which is really fun actually^^), however directly after that we ran into a volt that oneshot me and a high-defense rhino within seconds (which is not fun <.<)

[Darkmoone1]

Oh well....this is interesting....

[SaintLucifer]

Wonder....lore wise there is very few Tenno left and our forces are already spread thin, so why in the hell we are killing each other instead of cooperating towards the end goal of "balance" (or whatever the Lotus would call balance) ?

[SirGhosty]

The plot thickens....

 

Maybe the tenno are spreading too fast and are starting to have a conflict of interest with each other then the lotus steps in to try and salvage the situation... or the lore is lost at this point.

All your Tenno are belong to me © Nyx

:P

I guess technically we're not killing each other. We're killing proxies of each other, so it's more that we're demonstrating that we are able to and avoiding actually doing so (lore wise).

I'm not too sure about this, but I can shoot through Volt spectre's Electric shield with boltor. Need more testing with other guns.

Anyone tried killing and resurrecting them with Nekros? I'd love to have an army of ghost tenno.

[CheeseHasLeafs]

wow I am so going to do that now

 

EDIT IT WORKED Screenshot coming soon

Pictures: (Sorry they aren't better, as you can see I was low on health and a little bit flustered).

Most likely clones, I don't remember normal Tenno shimmering. :P

 

Also, if anyone took Dread/Despair/Hate and went Stalker on these guys, I salute you. :3

If it means anything, I ended up engaging the Stalker in my very first conflict run (those bastards at Eclipse coaxed him into fighting for them!)

 

First time I recall beating him too, but I cheated: he's kind of slow on the whole dispel thing when Valkyr uses hysteria so I treated him like a punching bag for a little bit then finished him off with some quick sword play.  From then on, I was the Tenno hunter.

 

I don't know about their AI though.  For the most part, they seem to be acting like typical dumb enemies to me, just with effective melee and ranged combat options.

[Methanoid]

found it a bit weird no1 has actually mentioned that altho you got those funky spectre's the mission type itsself is about 100% more boring than captures.

 

rush in > click 4 switches > extract.

Dunno, you can have some fun :)

I've seen Volts use Electrical Shield and use it as cover, but that's all I can report on them so far. Got close to one to see what would happen, and he ends up trying to melee instead and forget the shield was ever there.

They also use Shock.

From what I've noticed:

Frost Spectre: Freeze, Ice Wave

Volt Spectre: Shock, Electric Shield

Trinity Spectre: Link, Blessing(?)

Excalibur Spectre: Radial Blind, Slash Dash

Loki Spectre: Switch Teleport.

And from what I can tell is that they are immune to knockback from abilities, and probably follow the same rule on how abilities on other players in PvP.

[Lucredis]

The Frost guy uses Ice Wave.

[Sasquatchias]

Had an idea: What if during Dark Sector missions there was a chance a "Scouting Party" made up of Spectres from the Alliance waiting to deploy their own Rail could appear? 

 

They'd be kinda like Psuedo-Stalkers.
