Welcome back! It’s been a while since I’ve revealed a new specialization in Siralim Ultimate, so let’s fix that today.

I know that I haven’t revealed any Chaos-oriented specializations yet, but I’d really like to do another Death specialization today instead: the Necromancer.

Necromancer Playstyle

The Necromancer is arguably one of the more interesting specializations in Siralim Ultimate because it utilizes a new battle mechanic: minions. In case you forgot what minions are, you can read about them in one of my previous blog posts.

In all the previous Siralim games, I always wanted to make the Death class feel like you were controlling a huge army of undead creatures. Obviously, that goal fell short since you can only have six creatures in your party at a time. I tried to add a bunch of things to the Death class to still make it feel like you were raising an army of the dead, but it never worked out quite how it should have.

For that reason, the Necromancer specialization will make use of minions to give players the feeling that they’re controlling a massive army, and your own creatures are the commanders of that army.

Necromancer Perks

Please note that the numerical values shown for each of these perks is not final yet. Any values shown in {brackets} increase as you level up the perk, but for the sake of clarity, I’ve provided you with their maximum values already.

If a buff or debuff is different in Siralim Ultimate compared to Siralim 3, I’ll make a note of it below each perk’s description. Otherwise, you can assume the buff/debuff works the same way that it always has.

Also, note that Death, Conquest, Famine, and War are now classified as minions in Siralim Ultimate.

Animated Dead – Your creatures start battles with {3} Zombies.

Zombies: At the start of this minion’s master’s turn, each Zombie deals damage to a random enemy equal to 80% of its Attack. Maximum of 9 stacks.

Writhelings: When this minion’s master takes damage, each Writheling afflicts a random enemy with a random debuff. Maximum of 9 stacks.

Please note that nothing mentioned in this blog post is finalized. I reserve the right to change or remove anything mentioned in this post at any time. If you’re reading this post after the game has already launched, your best bet is to forget everything you just read because very few of the things I write about will remain untouched in the final product.
