How to Beat The Vanguard Elite

Learn how to overcome the elite Spectre Division in Spectre Divide. This guide covers their unique Prime Shift technology and strategies to counter their powerful ships.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The Spectre Division's strength lies in their Prime Shift ability, which grants combat bonuses when they deal or take damage.

Phases:
