Ability & Special Effects

ABILITY — NECROMANCER: Skeledude Summoner The Necrodude Summons a Skeledude when battle starts. When his Skeledude gets Knocked Out , the Necrodude Summons a new one after 6 seconds.

How to Use Necromancer Dude

Necrodude is the Viking-Necro-Spartan build's free body — he summons a Skeledude at battle start and re-summons one 6 seconds after it falls, a permanent extra teammate. Do not waste Relics on his own stats: his value is the summon, full stop. Undead Family Relics (8 per family) synergize with a full Undead bench, and he is the linchpin of the all-Undead variant too. Protect him behind your Spartan or Knight — if the summoner dies, the wall dies with him.

Summon note: Necrodude summons a Skeledude at battle start and re-summons it 6 seconds after it falls — a permanent extra body. See Skeledude for the summon's stats.

Best Builds & Synergies

Necrodude is the backbone of our top pick, the Viking-Necro-Spartan build: he summons a free Skeledude at battle start and re-summons it 6 seconds after it falls, turning every fight into a 5-vs-5 for you and 5-vs-6 for the enemy — a permanent extra body that never costs Dude Juice. Pair him with Viking and Spartan for a balanced comp that works in every Tier, or anchor an all-Undead team around him. Check our Tier List for the full context and the Best Builds page for more team comps.
