Raise Spectre Explained

Allows you to Raise Slain Enemies

Raise Spectre is a feature that allows you to summon slain enemies into your own summons. They function similarly to raised minions and their skills and capabilities will be the same moveset they have as regular enemies.

Raised Rares Do Not Possess Modifiers

If you manage to turn rare monsters to spectres, do know that they won't be able to carry over their modifiers as rare enemies. It's more important to determine the monster type you wish to turn to spectres.

Different Monsters Have Different Spirit Cost

Not all spectres have the same cost when summoned as a minion. Each spectre have their own respective spirit cost. Stronger and bigger monsters will naturally have higher spirit costs than weaker and smaller monsters so take your spirit limit into consideration.
