__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Necromancer''' is a summoner enemy that appears in any map with the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active on Wave 19, in [[Easy Mode|Easy]] and, Basic Arena [[PVP]] modes on Wave 13, in [[Intermediate Mode|Intermediate]] and, Molten Arena [[PVP]] modes on Wave 14, in [[Casual Mode|Casual]] mode on Wave 15, in [[Challenge Trials]] on Wave 12, in [[Badlands II]] on Wave 16 and in [[Polluted Wasteland II]]. onIt Wavealso 10appears 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 ''Dark SlamSummon'' 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]].
Line 71 ⟶ 98:
**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.

Line 137 ⟶ 166:
**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 iswas 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 arewere replaced by [[Brick Man|Brick Men]], and its health iswas increased to 1,200.
