Necromancer

Necromancer

Overview[]

The Necromancer is not a particularly useful minion when used on its own, but when used with an army of other units, it can effectively give you an army twice its original size by resurrecting dead minions from their gravestones into skeletons . Note: 

  • The skeletons raised are the level they are trained to in the training room and are not affected by the Necromancer's own level. For example, if you have Skeletons trained to level 20, then level 20 Skeletons will be raised etc 
  • Undead minions (skeletons, ghosts, vampires) do not get a gravestone, when they are dead, and therefore cannot be resurrected by the Necromancer. 

Notes[]

  • They do a lot of damage with their attacks
  • Vulnerable to Spring Traps
  • Weak vs Ghosts and Dragon Whelps as Necromancers cannot attack air
  • Necromancers guarding your dungeon during raids CANNOT raise skeletons
  • Necromancers guarding your dungeon during survival raids or defence campaigns CAN raise skeletons
  • Effective against Vampires as they cannot have their health drained or be converted upon death
  • Probably the most least used minion for withdrawing from the Guild Lair
  • Necromancers are far more effective combined with higher level skeletons
  • Higher Level Necromancers make effective defensive minions
