Skin of Oil shines when Stiffen Limbs is not effective, Machines/Undead. Specialization: Fire Adept, Wind Adept & Wild Magic Adeptįire Adept - Fireball opens up new lines of Damage, and is great for when against an enemy Necromancer as Death Ray is useless in that match up. Also has a poor time against Banshees.Įvery other Race is not worth mentioning. Halfling - Nice Happiness synergy with Halfing Reanimators and Master of Puppets, but with a lack of a way to deal with Machines or Shadow Stalkers I really don't recommend this choice unless you know you won't be playing against Dreadnoughts/Rogues. Human - Has nice synergy with Human Priests dealing Spirit Damage, also the free T3 units from Human Cavalry Evolving is always a plus, but Human Necromancers lack a way to deal with machines, not the best choice but decent. Also has somewhat poor Governance options compared to Draconian. Also their High Elf Storm Sisters are one of the best options as Necromancer when against a Dreadnought.ĭwarf - Firstborn is arguably the best Racial T3 in the game, giving it Life Steal is just not fair, sturdy starting units which make up for Necromancer bad early game. The first two Governace choices are really underwhelming compared to Draconian. They also have a Flying T3 but not Infantry Class. High Elf - High Elf get an honorable mention because Awareness on High Elf Reanimators which is nice, but ultimately not as good as Bane Fire. This Race also has a Flying T3 Infantry which is great synergy with Vampiric Hunger and also early vision since 9 times out of 10 you will spawn with a T3 and on a very rare occasion you can actually spawn with 2 T3!!! The Governance that Draconians get is also very good, I typically choose the Economic option every time except for the rare times I've spawned with alot of Draconian Chargers/Crushers then I'll take the Military choice on Protector. But I'll highlight some other options just for varieties sake and also explain the reason behind Draconian.ĭraconian - Draconian get Bane Fire on Draconian Reanimators which is not only 3 damage channels, and 1 total damage higher than Black Bolts, but it's also better typed and gives the Draconian Necromancer an edge over any other Necromancer in the mirror match.

Honestly Draconian is the best and it's not even close.
