Tenno Specters are only found in Junctions. They appear as various Warframes and can utilize their complement of Warframe powers along with Tenno-used weapons against players. Tenno Specters can be identified from player Warframes by large parts of their bodies glowing blue in a phased effect.

Tactics[]

  • Tenno Specters will use the majority of their Warframe powers against players; an ExcaliburIcon272 Excalibur Specter can use SlashDash130xWhite Slash Dash and RadialBlind130xWhite Radial Blind, while a TrinityIcon272 Trinity Specter can use Link130xWhite Link, etc. At rare times, Specters can use their Ultimate abilities, like Loki's RadialDisarm130xWhite Radial Disarm. Their effect on players is identical to playing against other Warframes in the Conclave.
  • Tenno Specters are also capable of performing advanced melee moves and parrying. They will automatically melee attack if players get within melee range.
  • When their health is reduced to 0, Tenno Specters have a chance of bleedout instead of dying outright, and will use their secondary weapons to attack until they expire. Downed Specters can be revived if another Specter is nearby.
  • If a Tenno Specter is parrying, it can often be difficult or impossible to hit them even from behind. Additionally, on occasion a parrying Specter will begin shooting with their firearms during the parry animation, able to maintain accurate fire even though their guns are not pointed at the target. The best way to deal with them in this state is to break away and wait for them to stop their parrying animation, then engage from long range.
  • They have similar AI to that of the Stalker with minor perks, such as ability to revive each other.

Notes[]

  • Not to be confused with Specters, the gear item introduced with Update 13.2.
  • At some point after Update 13, the Tenno Specter entry, after having been glitched from its initial Excalibur model to a headless Nyx, was removed from the Codex for unknown reasons. As of Update 15.5.9, it has yet to be restored.

Trivia[]

  • Tenno Specters are sometimes neutral until you engage them in combat.
    • Similar holograms are used by the Lotus to train players when ranking up their mastery level, although they are holograms of enemy factions instead.
    • Update: Specters of the Rail 0.0 (2016-07-08) has made Specters canon to lore, guarding the Solar Rails throughout the Star Chart.
