'''Necromancer: Unpopped Army''' is the [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

'''Necromancer: Unpopped Army''' is the [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade adds a Graveyard counter, which keeps track of the number of pops that occur near the Wizard Monkey, letting it summon Undead Bloons that follow backwards along the track. Each summoned group of Undead Bloons consumes units of the Graveyard. After accumulating enough graveyard units, up to 500 units, the Wizard's Undead Bloon attack is faster and the Wizard gains increased damage for all of its attacks.

Each Undead Bloon comes in groups of 1 to 4 and each dealing 2 {{BTD6 dt|Normal}}-type damage and have a variable amount of pierce. The Wizard also gets a new targeting option that allows it to change the location where the Undead Bloons are deployed. <section end="lede" />

== Mechanics ==

=== Graveyard ===

The Graveyard counter increases by 1 for each Bloon layer popped by any means within 70 [[Unit|units]] of the Wizard Monkey, which is unaffected by range modifiers. On rounds 81 and later, popped layers add 7–10 points each to the Graveyard instead of 1. Every layer can only contribute to one Graveyard. Each Wizard Monkey with this upgrade has a maximum Graveyard of 500. If not consumed, points in the Graveyard disappear at the end of the second round after the round they were earned on (for example, any points earned on round 1 disappear at the end of round 3).

All of the Wizard Monkey's attacks gain +1 damage for every 200 points stored in its Graveyard. This includes its main bolts, undead Bloons, [[Fireball (BTD6)|fireballs]], and [[Wall of Fire (BTD6)|walls of fire]] (if [[crosspath]]ed).

=== Undead Bloons ===

With this upgrade, Wizard Monkey gains a new attack which summons sets of undead Bloons at the cost of Graveyard points. One set of undead Bloons consumes a random number of points, between 1–10, and contains a random number of undead Bloons, between 1–4. Each undead Bloon deals 2 damage, has 2–11 [[pierce]] (1 plus 1 more for each Graveyard point consumed), and has a 7-second lifespan. The [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of this attack is 1.5 seconds, and the attack cooldown reduces by 10% additively for every 100 points in the Graveyard, up to 50% reduction. Undead Bloons can damage any Bloon type.

Undead Bloons travel backwards along the track at the speed of a [[Red Bloon (BTD6)|Red Bloon]]. By default, undead Bloons spawn at the point closest to the exit within the Wizard Monkey's range, but the player may change the position using its second Monkey Special. If the player sets a summoning position, opening the selection menu resets it to default until a new position is selected, and the default is maintained if the player closes the menu without selecting a point.

==Strategy==

Provided that bloons continuously pop within range (or nearly close range) to the Necromancer, this upgrade is quite a powerful cleanup option in the midgame, especially with 0-2-4 crosspath for improved damage for all attacks including the [[Fireball (BTD6)|Fireball]] and [[Wall of Fire (BTD6)|Wall of Fire]]. However, it faces weakness against singular MOABs if there's no additional bloons to build up its Undead Bloons, and its inconsistent damage output from the Undead Bloons makes it unreliable versus large groups of bloons.
