==Description==
The '''Fallen Summoner''' is a summoner enemy that appears in [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode. It also appears in [[The Takeover Event]]. It is a stronger version of the [[Fallen Necromancer]]. It moves slower but has way more health and stronger abilities. It has two abilities, the first is ''Summon'', where it summons three [[Necrotic Skeleton|Necrotic Skeletons]]. Its second ability, ''Ghost State'', only happens when it loses half of its health. It will become a [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemy, which also makes it slightly translucent.

== Logbook Description ==
"''Fallen Summoners were high priests who once called upon Two X's power to protect their people, but no one answered. Those who once commenced sacred rituals and called upon lost magic now raise armies of Necrotic Skeletons to fight in the Fallen King's apocalypse.''"

==Appearance==
The '''Fallen Summoner''' has black skin. It has neon blue eyes and a white mouth. It wears a black and blue robe with a hood. This robe has a few blue gems on it. The robe's hood has horns on it. It wears skull shoulder-pads with neon blue eyes and black horns. It walks with a staff which, when used, creates purple smoke.

Upon death, it falls to its knees and drops its staff, dropping to the ground shortly after.

==Strategy==
*The '''Fallen Summoner''' mainly spawns at the very back of Wave 30 and other later waves that it appears on. In most cases, it spawns behind higher health enemies like the [[Fallen Tank]] and the [[Fallen Shield]] that tank the majority of damage, allowing the '''Fallen Summoner''' to continuously summon [[Necrotic Skeleton]]s.
**Dealing with this enemy as soon as possible is crucial, as leaving it alive for too long can allow it to summon a vast number of [[Necrotic Skeleton]]s, in addition to the number of enemies ahead of it that can otherwise be overwhelming to your defense.
***To target it, you can set some high DPS towers like the [[Turret]], [[Minigunner]] or [[Crook Boss]] to ''Last'' to directly target the '''Fallen Summoner''', as it will most likely appear in the very back of the horde. 
***However, you should still keep the majority of your defense set to ''First'' to deal with tankier and faster enemies in front of it to maintain the defense output.
***The [[Saboteur]] can also be used to force towers to target it while also increasing how much damage it receives.
*High DPS towers with splash damage capabilities can be very beneficial, as they can hit both the '''Fallen Summoner''' and the enemies it summons. Such towers include the [[Ranger]], [[Pursuit]], [[Minigunner]] and [[Engineer]].
**In addition, area of effect towers like the [[Mortar]] or [[Tesla]] can be useful at dealing with the enemies spawned by the '''Fallen Summoner'''.
*At half health, the '''Fallen Summoner''' will become [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]], so make sure you have sufficient hidden detection source.
**The [[Ace Pilot]] and [[UAV]] can be used to give towers that do not have hidden detection, such as the [[Ranger]] hidden detection, allowing them to kill it.
*The [[Tesla]] can be very useful at slowing it down, however do note that it does not have hidden detection.
*No cash can be generated from summoned enemies. This includes the [[Cowboy]]'s cash generation.
**However, this also means that the [[Cowboy]] will deal more DPS to the summons, as attacking summoned enemies does not make it spin its guns, making it attack for longer.
