How it works

Necromancer's Blood

The same HP that commands when you lose is the currency for buying minions.

Characters

Minions

#### Zombie
You need to have a grave on the floor, when it hits someone that is about to die, this someone have 50% of chances of becoming a zombie. Zombies lose HP over time.

Attack type: Surrounding area.

Swarm Debuff: Yes

#### Vampire
Fast, but fragile. A Vampire can regen his HP by attacking, doing it will regen a little bit of the necromancer's Blood.

Attack type: Single

Swarm Debuff: No (Single Target)

#### Skeleton
Slow, Weak and fragile. But cheap! When a Skeleton is not engaged in a battle, it returns to his spawnpoint.

Attack Type: Surrounding area.

Swarm Debuff: Yes

Heroes

#### Thief
Fast and it can get closer to his target before being detected.

Attack Type: Surrounding area.

Swarm Debuff: Yes

#### Warrior
Strong, Though and ignores SwarmDebuff. He is a nightmare. (And yes, it will get a little nerfed in the future)

Attack Type: Surrounding area.

Swarm Debuff: No (Imune to SwarmDebuff)

*Swarm Debuff divides your damage by the amount of enemies hit by the attack.

Tricks and Tips

- Warriors deal a lot of damage to a swarm but takes a lot of time to deal it again, use a cheap unit to trigger the attack and then use all your firepower against it.
- You can use skeletons to lure your Enemies together near some graves, then raise some zombies while attacking with your other unities.

I Hope you have lots of fun playing this game.
