Necromancer’s Guide Loop Hero – Unlock
Build the Crypt to unlock Necromancer.
When you build the Crypt it will show the message: “Unlocks a new class: Necromancer”
Necromancer´s could be a good option to try to get the victory in Loop Hero, has some benefits that we will show you during this article.
How To Unlock the Necromancer? Steps
First of all, focus on buildings to improve your characters. Always try to build as many as you can.
The following steps are the shortest path to place The Crypt:
- Build Field Kitchen or Herbalist’s Hut (doesn’t matter which one), both take you to the Gymnasium. if you want to the release of the Rogue, choose the Field Kitchen.
- Build the Gymnasium, one of the best buildings in the Loop Hero because it allows classes to learn traits.
- Build the graveyard, to summon skeletons, you need a place to store them.
- Finally, the Crypt will be available for you to build.
To optimize your time, do a lot of expedition gathering. Get focus on emptying the treasury to collect the most resources in the least amount of time. Using a Warrior with a tank build is great for surviving the loop longer and collecting more resources.
Necromancer’s Guide Loop Hero – Strengths & Weaknesses
The Necromancer summon 2 skeletons when the hero attack bar fills up. The quantity of skeletons depends on the item.
If the attack bar fills up while the maximum number of skeletons is in battle, the Necromancer will throw a puny punch at their opponents.
The Necromancer’s biggest weakness is that can’t summon fast enough and the summons are weak.
If the enemy kill all skeletons, you will be alone on the battlefield, so, you will get all the damage. The character is very weak and your defense is too low, so you could die easily.
Equipment
- Grimoire
- Two Rings
- Amulet
- Bonus slot: shield (could be a good option).
Stats
Attack speed is important to upgrade your summoned skeletons. Its essential to unlock the ability to summon at least 4 skeletons.
Rings are a good choice to increase your friendship circle.
The Necromancers strength depends on the number of skeletons, so try to get as many as you can, and try to upgrade skeleton HP.
Here you have some kinds of skeletons:
- Friendly Skeleton is basic, just a bunch of bones with a sword.
- Skeleton Warriors are fragile, but their attacks are faster more powerful.
- Skeleton Guards have a high defense and the First Target ability that attracts enemies’ attention.
Necromancer is weak, so you will need more HP and evasion.
Magic HP is into Amulets, so is less important than others stats.
The best equipment will always be the one that improves your skeletons, especially the quantity and quality.
When you exceed the limit of four skeletons on the front, you start summoning Skeleton Mages and Archers who support you in the rear with long-range attacks.
Best Cards
Forest/Thickets is a required card for the Necromancer, optimize your stats, don´t use Forests they will give you only give +1% and Thickets give you double.
Rivers increase the atack speed bonus of the Forest, then moisten them to improve your speed summoning.
Desert/Oasis has HP reduction, that effect doesn’t work on skeletons. Either HP reduction doesn´t effect on your equipment.
Suburbs are perfect to gain experience and acquire more traits.
The Arsenal unlocks the Shield on your equipment, these effect increases your chance of dropping, and increase the Max Skeletons stats.
Battle Fields possibly are one of the best resources, because the chests can give you good items. The Ghosts are not a problem, but try to not overlapping the area of effect of two Battle Fields (if you made a mistake and you overlap the effect, they will generate Blood Clots).
Blood Grove put them next to forests and will create Flesh Golems, they could give you powerful equipment and is an easy enemy to defeat with a crowd.
Situational Cards
Spider’s Cocoon and Grove but they have a low-level item. You will need to bring them if you have a Bookery or Smith’s Forge in the expedition, but those builds are pretty endgame, so take them when you get stronger.
Ancestral Crypt is a great alternative to Arsenal, you gain HP with each enemy defeated and have one more resurrection.
Best Traits
Empower your skeletons.
- Field Practice – +.25 to skeleton level for every loop, we recommend you to pick it early on!
- Unseen Care – Permanent +0.5 Magic HP for every summoned skeleton.
- Art of Control – +1 maximum number of skeleton summons.
- Edge of Impossible – 20% chance to summon an extra skeleton on the last summon for your max amount.
- Laying Down One’s Life – Spread damage to your health evenly across your skeletons.
- Residual Heat – Receive three times the current loop in HP every time a skeleton dies.
