Necromancer: Unpopped Army is the Wizard Monkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Wizard Monkey a Graveyard counter, which keeps track of the number of pops which occur near the Wizard Monkey. The Wizard Monkey gains damage on all attacks depending on the value of its Graveyard.
It also grants Wizard Monkey a new attack which summons undead Bloons on the track, which travel in reverse direction and damage Bloons they touch. Summoning undead Bloons costs pops from the Graveyard. The Wizard also gets a new targeting option that allows it to change the location where the Undead Bloons are deployed.
Mechanics
Graveyard
The Graveyard counter increases by 1 for each Bloon layer popped by any means within 70 units of Wizard Monkey; this radius cannot be buffed. On round 81 and later, popped layers add 7-10 pops 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.
All of Wizard Monkey's attacks gain +1 damage for every 200 pops stored in its Graveyard. This includes its main bolts, undead Bloons, fireballs, and walls of fire (if purchased).
Undead Bloons
With this upgrade, Wizard Monkey gains a new attach which summons sets of undead Bloons at the cost of Graveyard pops. One set of undead Bloons costs a random amount of Graveyard pops, 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 pop it cost), and have a lifespan of 7 seconds. The attack cooldown of this attack is 1.5 seconds, and the attack speed increases by 10% additively for every 100 pop in the Graveyard. Undead Bloons may damage any Bloon type.
Undead Bloons travel backwards along the track at the speed of a Red Bloon. By default undead Bloons are summoned near the back-most location in the Wizard Monkey's range, but the player may change the summon location.

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 and 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.

- Now retains any points in the Graveyard for 1 extra round before they expire
- Now displays the current Graveyard amount next to the damage counter when selected
- Zombie Bloon: Lifespan increased ― 8s → 10s
- Zombie Bloon: Spawn rate now increases by 10% for every 100 points in the Graveyard
- 0-2-4
- Intense Magic now grants +5 pierce to Wall of Fire
- Overall pierce of this crosspath is unchanged (due to changes to Wall of Fire's base pierce)

Unpopped Army changes are also here! We wanted to cover all of the usability issues with this upgrade while also powering it up and expanding more on the mechanic that makes it so unique.

- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Graveyard: Popping Bloons on rounds 81+ now adds 7–13 points instead of 1 (to make up for the reduced number of children that Bloons spawn when popped)
- Graveyard: All attacks now gain +1 damage per 200 points stored
- Zombie Bloon: Now attempts to spawn as close to the exit as possible

Some general buffs have been made to Wizard’s abilities to give it a small boost. Prince of Darkness has been performing extremely well after all its buffs and this is nice after it underperformed for so long, but the round 81 change to counter reduced Bloon Children with bonus Graveyard per pop has made it sustain high levels of graveyard too easily, this bonus has been lowered a little.

- Camo Prioritization filter added
Graveyard: Points per pop after round 80 reduced ― 7-13 → 7-10
- 0-2-4
- Intense Magic grants less pierce to Wall of Fire ― +5 → +4
“
Wizard Prince of Darkness is annoying to position correctly due to the sudden massive radius increase & it also needs a power nerf. So overall here we are moving all of the range increase down into a lower amount at the T3 so that range positioning is known before buying any necromancer upgrades, as well as moving some of the lifespan of the zombies themselves into the lesser used 1xx lifespan crosspath.

011 Fireball also does not benefit from having the pierce crosspath

Wall of Fire’s exceptional T2 power needs to be moved around for improved crosspathing, along with a slight nerf to Phoenix as it is currently performing too well, and both of these upgrades are shifting some of their power into Dragon’s Breath so it can stand out as more than just a buff to WoF & a stepping stone to Phoenix. Shimmer is prone to missing a lot of camo Bloons due to the low attack rate, we do want it to be slower than other decamos to account for the larger radius and better T5 so we are making the radius benefit more noticable and lowering price

Necromancer strategies are very dependent on where your Zombie Bloons spawn which would enable more strategies with more range, but then too much range is very harmful making the spawn location difficult to place & forcing you to often place these towers in silly locations which makes the shimmer not work well. Allowing Necro to select a spawn point addresses this issue and we hope provides some interesting micro uses, so please share any cool ones.

- Gains a spawn point target for zombies that the player can set
- Necromancer targeted spawn point can now be reset back to default by activating the target option, then canceling without selecting a point
“
Shimmer’s range/radius values are being adjusted to match the attack trigger area to the tower’s range but with a far larger radius on the actual effect once it is triggered, this reduces inconsistency where Shimmer would often hit only first camo target to enter radius then be stuck on long cooldown.

- Shimmer: Targeting range now matches tower range ― 80 → 60
- Shimmer: Effect radius set to 25% more than tower range ― 70 → 75
“
As Shimmer is the slowest de-camo in the game it is important that it not miss when it does trigger, so pierce is greatly increased.

Shimmer struggles as a de-camo option due to the low consistency, so the attack rate is being improved.
