Necromancer (BCS)

~~{{Outdated|potentially saved the card by summoning undead keyword bloons}}~~

*After Version 6.0, Necromancer is a strong offensive monkey with powerful synergizers to help him. Using [[Dart Arts Wizard]] is essential for decks that rely on Necromancer, as its buff gives each [[Zombie Blue Bloon|Zombie Blue]] Necromancer spawns a total of +60 health.

~~<!--ripv5~~.0 ~~endofround summon nerf killed it~~

*[[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]] buffs all of the spawned [[Zombie Blue Bloon|Zombie Blues]] by a total of +20 health, making her a strong synergizer with Necromancer.

*The Necromancer ~~can be used for healing bloons and applying additional pressure for the opponent's defenses, at the cost of~~ a ~~tower slot~~. It is ~~suitable for midrange offense combined with a few stronger bloons.~~

*[[Zombie Blue Bloon|Zombie Blue Bloons]] being constantly spawned can easily fill up the board quickly due to their high delay and revive. Don’t use Necromancer if your strategy revolves around sending constant Large Bloons at your opponent, as the board will be flooded with weaker Zombie Blues.

~~-->~~

*[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] has decent synergy from Necromancer by ensuring he always makes Rad Tokens after every round (unless the queue is full).

*Version 5.0 killed any viability for Necromancer ~~to be a meaningful rusher for its cost~~, as each ~~Undead Bloon has 2 delay relative to the opponent, essentially a~~ [[~~Swarm~~ Blue Bloon]] ~~for the cost of 5 Gold to place the~~ Necromancer~~. It used to be good for burn decks.~~

*If using a strategy revolving around Necromancer, consider bringing a card like Return To Sender or Shrink to deal with counters like [[Grand Saboteur (BCS)|Grand Saboteur]], [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]] or [[Glaive Ricochet (BCS)|Glaive Ricochet]].

*Because it provides no defensive value, players using a ~~Necromancer are more susceptible against bloon rushes~~.

*~~Note that Necromancer will constantly produce bloons; this can prevent strategies that take advantage of a lack of bloons. For instance,~~ [[~~Spike-o-Pult~~ (BCS)|~~Spike-o-Pult~~]] ~~will always have~~ a ~~constant source~~ of ~~scaling~~, ~~and~~ [[~~Cash Drop Sniper~~]] ~~for~~ constant ~~income~~.

*[[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] has ~~good~~ synergy from Necromancer by ensuring he always makes Rad Tokens after every round (unless the queue is full).
