__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Necromancer''' is a summoner enemy that appears in [[Easy Mode|Easy]], Basic Arena [[PVP]], [[Intermediate Mode|Intermediate]], Molten Arena [[PVP]], [[Casual Mode|Casual]] mode, [[Challenge Trials]], [[Badlands II]] and [[Polluted Wasteland II]]. It also appears in the tutorial and first chapters of [[Story Mode|Story]] mode. It has high health and decent speed. It has one ability where it uses its staff to summon five [[Skeleton]]s, which may be [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]]. [[Skeleton]]s were replaced by [[Brick Man|Brick Men]] in [[Headache Headquarters]] by the [[Brain Rot]] modifier.

The '''Necromancer''' originally was added as an enemy internally called ''Summoner'' with the display name of ''Necromancer'', though on the 24th of February 2024, a new modern version of the legacy [[Necromancer (Legacy Enemy)|Necromancer]] would be added, which would be identical to the ''Summoner'' in terms of design, while also being quite similar in its statistics and ability. The ''Summoner'' variant is now rarely used, as it has been slowly replaced by the ''Necromancer'' variant in all new modes. Only sometimes [[Challenge Maps]] have it still appear. Both of these enemies, despite technically being different enemies, will be listed as one enemy due them being quite similar and serving the same purpose.<!--If people want this, it can be separated into two pages-->

In any [[Challenge Maps|Challenge Map]] mode that has the [[Dark Necromancer]] and the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active, the '''Necromancer''' replaces the [[Dark Necromancer]]. The '''Necromancer''' can be spawned by the [[Nuclear Monster]] with its ''Nuclear Summon'' ability and can be spawned by the [[Conjurer]] with its ''Summon'' ability. The [[Grave Digger]] used to spawn it with its ''Triumphing Sheol'' ability. It used to also be spawned by the [[Mystery Boss]] on the [[Molten Mode|Molten]] mode before the 11th of December 2024, as well as in [[Polluted Wasteland II]] before the [[v1.4.2|Halloween 2022 Update]] and in [[Easy Mode|Easy]] mode before the 19th of July 2024.

The '''Necromancer''' also appeared in [[The Classic Event]], [[Tower Defense Simulator x PLS DONATE Event]] and [[The Takeover Event]].

==Appearance==
The '''Necromancer''' is a humanoid with a waist in its rig. It has a very desaturated light green skin color, and some of the skin on its head is missing, exposing a light grey skull. It has a black torso, sleeves, legs and cape. It has a light grey chain wrapped around its torso. It wields a dark brown wooden staff that has a small skull with light red streaks as well as grey horns on top of it, which it uses to summon [[Skeleton]]s.

==Strategy==
*The '''Necromancer''' can be a threat when it first appears, as it can summon many [[Skeleton]]s if not killed quickly, creating hordes, especially in groups.
**Killing the '''Necromancer''' before it can summon any [[Skeleton]]s is recommended.
**Early game towers like the [[Soldier]], [[Ace Pilot]], [[Militant]], [[Brawler]] or [[Golden Scout]] can take care of the '''Necromancer''' quite quickly.
**High DPS towers like the [[Minigunner]], [[Crook Boss]] and [[Accelerator]] can be prepared specifically for this enemy if early game towers are not enough, with use of the [[Farm]] to get them as they may be quite expensive.
***Do note that the [[Accelerator]], if locked onto the '''Necromancer''' or other strong enemies, will ignore the [[Skeleton]]s the '''Necromancer''' summons until the targeted enemy is defeated or leaves its range.
***The [[Ranger]] and [[Sniper]] struggle against the hordes of [[Skeleton]]s the '''Necromancer''' summons due to their slow firerate. They can be set to ''Strongest'' to target and kill the '''Necromancer''' while other towers take care of the [[Skeleton]]s.
**Area of effect towers, like the [[Mortar]], [[Rocketeer]], [[Shotgunner]] or [[Mercenary Base]]'s [[Grenadier]]s can be quite useful as they can damage both the '''Necromancer''' and the [[Skeleton]]s it summons.
**The [[Hacker]] can be decent here, as it damage the '''Necromancer''' by converting the summoned [[Skeleton]]s into hologram clones.
*The [[Skeleton]]s the '''Necromancer''' summons have a chance to be [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]], so ensure your towers are upgraded to have hidden detection.
*In [[Intermediate Mode|Intermediate]] mode, the [[Slime]] enemy has the potential to turn into the '''Necromancer'''. As [[Slime]]s often come in large groups, it is easy to get overwhelmed.
*Do note that you do not earn any money from the summoned enemies.
*The '''Necromancer''' and its [[Skeleton]]s move at a somewhat fast pace. You may want to use crowd control towers like the [[Freezer]], [[Warden]] or [[Electroshocker]], though this is not necessary.
**Stalling towers with the ability to hit multiple enemies, such as the [[Electroshocker]], [[Freezer]] or [[Frost Blaster]] are particularly effective against the '''Necromancer''' as they can also stall the summoned [[Skeleton]]s without taking their attention away from the '''Necromancer'''.

==Trivia==
*The '''Necromancer''' has the second most gamemode appearances, appearing in seven gamemodes total, behind the [[Breaker]], [[Breaker2]], [[Breaker3]] and [[Breaker4]].
*The [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]] improperly mentioned this enemy as a [[Dark Necromancer]].
**This is because the [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]]'s dialogue for [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode is not changed when the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier is applied.
*[[Skeleton]]s summoned by the '''Necromancer''' are called "''Summoner's Skeleton''" instead of "''Necromancer's Skeleton''".
**However, this is not the case in [[Easy Mode|Easy]] mode. In that mode, the [[Skeleton]]s are properly called "''Necromancer's Skeleton''".
**The '''Necromancer''' is also instead referred to as a "''Summoner''" when it is mentioned in the [[v1.4.2|Halloween 2022 Update]]'s update log.
*The '''Necromancer''' was the only enemy in [[Headache Headquarters]] that was not replaced by the [[Brain Rot]] modifier in 2024, though in 2025 two more enemies would not be replaced, these being the [[Speedy Boss]] and [[Brute]].
**However, the [[Skeleton]]s it would usually summon were replaced by [[Brick Man|Brick Men]], and its health was increased to 1,200.
