Wow, that is a good analogy. And yeah, I WOULD agree with you, but if someone very powerful, but with low health is on your team (for example Hornet or something), having them resurrected again after they die, is really helpful. If it’s an attacker, the move comes with double damage for double trouble. And even though resurrection is risky, it is still rare and useful. He even has team AoE 50% heal, which only he and Fatid have. And 70 damage with 100% life steal is still good, even though he has a low power stat. He also has the always useful Self NER, which goes along with his high-ish life stat.

But his most unique move is Klaatu Verata Niko, as it makes an enemy resurrection with 1% life, possession and double damage. This gives a chance of the enemy attacking its own team, and if the enemy doesn’t, it dies afterwards (unless the enemy team has NER). That would waste one of his turns though so, eh.

Other than that, Necromancer has tons of cons, but is still better than Barbael, and maybe Zahra.

Whew
