__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Necromancer Boss''' was a high health summoner [[Enemies|enemy]] which only appeared in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode. Currently, it can only be spawned in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ [[Gamepasses|gamepass]]. It behaves similar to the [[Mystery Summoner]] and [[Summoner Boss]], as it spawns [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es with its staff. With the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier active, it spawns [[Breaker2]]s and [[Breaker4]]s. However, this enemy spawns between 8-10 [[Mystery|Mysteries]]/[[Breaker2]]s and [[Mystery Boss]]es/[[Breaker4]]s, causing huge problems if left alone for too long.

==Appearance==
The '''Necromancer Boss''' has reflective black skin. It wears a unique reflective purple fade cloak. Its torso and pants are also reflective purple fade. The '''Necromancer Boss''' wears a reflective white skull mask, and it has pink glowing eyes. It wears a reflective purple fade top hat with two small white horns on on the front. It also wields a spiked stone staff that emits purple flame at the end. When summoning [[enemies]], the flame emits purple particles.

==Strategy==
This strategy refers to the state of the game while the '''Invisible''' still appeared in the [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode.
*Due to its high health and enemies it spawns, the '''Necromancer Boss''' must be dealt with as soon as possible.
**If the '''Necromancer Boss''' is left alive for too long, it can create a huge army of [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es, or a huge army of [[Breaker2]]s and [[Breaker4]]s, so it is recommended to deal with the '''Necromancer Boss''' quickly.
***This is especially noticeable on long maps such as [[Marshlands]] and [[Four Seasons]].
**High DPS towers, such as the [[Ranger]] and [[Turret]] are recommended against the '''Necromancer Boss'''.
***[[Ranger]]s having their targeting set to ''Strongest'' can deal massive damage to the '''Necromancer Boss''', combined with the [[Commander]]'s ''Call to Arms'' ability.
****Do be aware of enemies like the [[Fallen Swordmaster]] distracting [[Ranger]]s if they are set to ''Strongest''.
***[[Turret]]s can deal with the [[enemies]] spawned from the boss, as its damage and firerate can defeat all of the enemies spawned.
****[[Minigunner]]s can also quickly deal with the summoned enemies.
***The [[Accelerator]] can lock onto the '''Necromancer Boss''', though summoned enemies from the '''Necromancer Boss''' can get past multiple [[Accelerator]]s.
**The enemies spawned by the '''Necromancer Boss'''' minions may prove troublesome, such as the [[Circuit (Hardcore)|Circuit]] and the [[Speedy King (Legacy)|Speedy King]], which can speed up nearby enemies, leading to multiple fast enemies leaking through.
***You can play on a map with the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier to ensure this does not happen, as [[Mystery|Mysteries]] and [[Mystery Boss]]es are replaced by [[Breaker2]]s and [[Breaker4]]s in those maps.
*Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies, such as the [[Engineer]], [[Executioner]] or [[Golden Pyromancer]], can be great at dealing with enemies summoned by the '''Necromancer Boss'''.
*[[Units]] from the [[Military Base]] can deal with the '''Necromancer Boss''', through their collision.
*Freezing towers and the [[Warden]] can be used to slow this down, however because of its large size they only freeze or stun it for a shorter amount of time compared to an average-sized enemy.

==Trivia==
*The appearance and name of the '''Necromancer Boss''' is similar to one of the variants of the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Necromancer Boss|Necromancer Boss]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The '''Necromancer Boss''' has a death animation where it holds its hand to its heart, trembles violently, and falls to the ground.
*Prior to the [[v1.1.0|Entity System Update]], enemies summoned by the '''Necromancer Boss''' were uniquely temporarily immune to damage.
