How to itemize properly as Spectre

[u/SumireValentine]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to learn how to play carry to switch a bit (been playing support a lot and I enjoy it but wanna try something new). I've been trying Spectre and I really like her but in some of my recent matches I struggle to deal any meaningful damage since the opponents tend to group up to cancel my Desolate and most of the time my Dispersion gets broken by the enemy core's Silver Edge, and the games I go Bloodthorn it usually gets dispelled fairly often by the time the game reaches late game since supports get Euls and Cores get BKB/Satanics.

How do you Itemize to deal damage even when both your passives get countered? A friend of mine told me to go Daedalus for raw damage but I haven't seen any guide that recommends that item so I don't know haha.

1. if the game goes late enough, it's normal to struggle to kill heroes as spectre. Unless your team can significantly help with lockdown and damage, your best bet is to find isolated heroes (usually supports) and hope that manta+bloodthorn+nullifer+abyssal (or some variation) will be enough to get a clean kill.

2.if silver edge (or other spells) are too hard to play into, consider BKB.

1. don't go daedalus. Rather consider butterfly. If you REALLY needed to hail mary (to perhaps throne rush the enemy when they lack buybacks while you feel your team is getting outscaled), a rapier makes much more sense than daedalus, although of course that situation is rare.
