Errant Specter is an enemy first introduced in Update 28.0 (2020-06-11). Specters mimicking the appearance of Treasurers, they constantly multiply in the Granum Void.
Behavior[]
- They are able to shoot a ranged beam that can stagger the player. They can also charge to tackle the player similar to a Vomvalyst.
- When they are killed, they leave behind a unit named Specter Particles that can be destroyed with the
![Xoris](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="32" height="32"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
Xoris to gain charges for its upgraded mid-air explosive attack. Specter Particles are always some number of levels lower than the Errant Specter that spawned them.
- Note it is the destruction of the Errant Specter, not the Specter Particle, that increments the player's kills.
- Specter Particles can combine with each other to respawn an Errant Specter 15 levels higher than newly spawned Errant Specters, with no apparent upper limit. This does not subtract from the player's kills and only prevents the player from charging the Xoris.
- The starting level of Errant Specters is fixed according to the rank of Granum Void:
- Rank 1 (Normal) Void will spawn level 10 Errant Specters.
- Rank 2 (Extended) Void will spawn level 25 Errant Specters.
- Rank 3 (Nightmare) Void will spawn level 50 Errant Specters.
Notes[]
- During Invasion missions, if supporting the Corpus, Errant Specters will be allied to you so you cannot kill them.
Tips[]
- Currently, the most effective way to kill the specters is to use
Mesa's 
Peacemaker, 
Volt's 
Discharge, 
Revenant's 
Danse Macabre, 
Octavia's 
Mallet, or any Warframe equipped with Xoris. - Errant Spectres cannot be tethered by
Vauban's Tether Mines, but they will rapidly take damage in the process, making it an easy way to eliminate them.
Trivia[]
- The specters' left hand is composed entirely of golden energy, referencing Parvos Granum's golden hand prosthetic.
- Interestingly their health is composed of the Infested health type, rather than Corpus Flesh of the Treasurer enemy they are based off of.
- Even more interesting is the fact the particles released have Alloy Armor and Machinery health and armor types.

As of writing: Mesa´s Peacemakers (4) can NOT damage the "Ghost" form of the spectre. The granum void was one of the worst "events" introduced for solo players imo.
Kuva nukor works like xoris
So should i use smite corpus or smite infested???
(Primed) Smite Corpus.
For what? Not dealing any dmg? Any of them, or no mods at all. Otherwise use some usefull mods.
I've tried a number of builds but none of them work quite as well as Revenant's Danse Macabre.

Just a potato with no forma, get up on a rock, hit 4 and watch the kills flood in
What're you on about? Mesa works the best.
Mesa dies instantly what are you on about, i die instantly with mesa soon as i press 4 i die, they fucking one shot anything not tanky
You die instantly with Mesa? Use your 3 you buffoon
Imagine having a skill issue so big that you can't stay alive with Mesa lul
I just use my Mesa, use 4 and kill everything, I got all the parts not even in an hour.
Pff man some peoples luck. I'm on my 10th hours farming the damn last piece. Gotta love rng....
They're infested, huh? Really now? That's very interesting. I expected something more suited to an actual specter.
Why is there no Simulacrum entry for the Errant Specter, but there is for the Specter Particles? There aren't any similar enemies with Ferrite Armor and Infested Health.
Xoris makes this much easier than I thought it would. Potato-less build. Volatile Quick Return, Killing Blow, Sac Steel(not maxed) and Organ Shatter. Throws fast with killing blow and kills them super easily.
This is what I use when farming sisters.
Electric - Volt or Nova. They move fast and as long as you keep moving it's hard for them to hit you. I would recommend capacitance for Volt, really increases survivability.
Heat - Nezha. Absorb the damage from their lasers using Halo, and you're having a great time. Also moves fast.
Cold - Revenant. Doesn't move especially fast, but Mesmer Skin helps with tankiness, and Danse Macabre is pretty good for mass murder, as stated above.
Toxin - Saryn. I use Regen Molt and decently high energy/Zenurik to again, move quickly and avoid getting hit.
Magnetic - Mesa, but not necessarily with Xoris since Peacemaker does a good job,
Radiation - Octavia or Mirage. Both are decently agile. Octavia doesn't need the Xoris because of mallet, but it does help.
Impact - Gauss, Rhino or Wukong. Gauss and Wukong are obviously fast, and both have/can get decent damage resistance, so both good options. Rhino is good because, like Nezha, he can get a big Iron Skin going from the lasers, so he is easy, but his lack of mobility makes it a bit harder with time constraints.
Overall, with the Xoris and almost any decently mobile frame, this is really not hard to solo. Using Swift Momentum or Amalgam Organ Shatter could make it even faster and easier, and you won't be in the heavy animation for as long.
For anyone still having trouble after using a setup like this, use the alternate fire of the Xoris to kill Errant Specters, and then the heavy throw to murder the particles. It combos very well.
How are you even supposed to do this in a normal way?
70 Specters, 60 seconds. Melee weapon takes 2 seconds to throw, one second to fly, deals 0 dmg.
And specters are lvl 70 in T2. I can just barely do it with mesa modded to successfully solo ESO W8 but T3 will be impossible.
Try modding the Xoris with Volatile Quick Return so that it explodes on impact (and also has a bigger radius). Once the specters are grouped, using the detonate all the time hits multiples at once. Errant Specters are highly susceptible to gas damage, so try also adding heat and toxin. Pyramid pickups give you 5s each and freeing a Solaris captive gives you 20s (so 60s total). Good luck, Tenno!
So does Xaku 2 just not work on these fuckers? We can take a Hyekka's claws, but not head lasers?
I hate these guys. Like, what even is the damage on these lasers?
Use nezha to run around faster, prevent them from aiming their laser thingy on you. Pretty easy to do this solo in my opinion!
I swear to fucking god these things suck i wanna fucking kill whoever decided "hey lets make them fly as well"
The weapon you get for them is a throwable with an 8-9m explosion radius
What they do or how they behave barely matters.
Yes it does matter, they fucking instan kill anything thats not super tanky and move extremely quickly and not everyone kept the stupid xoris which is garbage anyways outside of the void requires good mods anyways to be useful, shitty ass game mode from brainless stupid developers
Do these guys see invisible players?
You really don't need anything except a decent octavia with max range and at least some reasonable strength then just hit 1+4 and you're done in a matter of seconds
Some of us want tenet weapons with a bonus other than radiation.
If you're farming these for Sisters and already have Protea, her Blaze Artillery shreds through them with time to spare.
Aye, Artillery + Ensnare to group them up can get you rank 1 in Zenith in an ability combo or 2
They be lookin pretty creepy
May your Desire blossom, thief, and with it: wisdom! Farewell!
10 Seconds Later:
Mirage's Prism seemed pretty effective once I got it off.
Would Saryn's Spores help me any with these things?
Saryn cultist here. Not really: By the time you get a significant amount of these f*ckers around to have a reasonable amount of spores doing covid stuff, you'll have probably run out of time. You won't be able to build up damage fast enough. Miasma is a better option, but still, subpar compared to other frames.
Sobek with the Acid Shells mod is really good at clearing a group of these things with a few shots.
Bragging your lack of understanding in weapons? Oh poor you...
(Replying to Toxic Lone Tenno)
Bragging your less than 10 iq AND bragging your room filled with gallons of piss? Oh poor you...
"Bragging your useless taste in trash weapons? Oh poor you..."
