Loop Hero – Complete Necromancer Guide

Introduction

Before we start, this is very much still a work in progress guide, I’ve completed all 4 acts with the necromancer however still missing some skill unlocks. I’m very open to feedback. 
 
 
 

Basics

The Necromancer is unlocked by building a crypt. 
 
While playing the necromancer you’ll be able to equip 2 rings, 1 amulet a book 
and a shield (if you’ve placed an Arsenal card which is a gold card.) 
 
Max Skeletons: 
Increases the amount of total skeletons you can have active at once. 
 
Summon quality: 
Increases the chance of higher tier skeletons being summoned instead of the basic skeleton. So far I’ve experienced 4 different types of skeletons, those being in the following order: 

1. Friendly Skeleton – Your basic melee skeleton 
    
    
    
2. Warrior Skeleton – High damage, low HP 
    
    
    
3. Skeleton Guard – High HP, low damage, has the trait “First target” which will force enemies to target it first. 
    
    
    
4. Archer Skeleton – Ranged, these will be summoned after reaching the max (4) number of melee skeletons have been summoned. 
    
    

 
Skeleton level: 
Increases damage and HP of skeletons. 
Notice this does not do anything unless it’s a multiple of 1. 
So being at 2.99 is the same as being at 2. 
 
Stats in order of importance is: 
 
Skeleton level > Max Skeleton (3) > Skeleton quality > Max Skeleton (*)
