Necromancer Apprentice

Will get slain next mission (knock on wood). Any tactical advice?

Thanks :-)

Bring Bonus-When-Attacking-Unholy Trinkets. Always bring a Crusader, Prefferably Two, and if you don't have a second Crusader, bring someone who can quickly kill front-line Grunts, as the Apprentice Necromancer will constantly summon Lesser Undead.

For damage, i'd reccomend High-Speed Ranged-Characters, such as The Grave Robber and The Arbalest, as there's a large chance that the Necromancer will simply move before them and summon Undead, and your Range would help circumvent that.

If you can ever attack the Necromancer with a Crusader, do it. A crusader crit with Dismas' Head and the Bonus-When-Attacking-Unholy-Foes Trinket can do ab absurd amount of damage, something around 50-60 and maybe even 80 if you're lucky.

I should go with:
2 Crusader for damage.
1 Vestal / Occultist for healing, Vestal for a reliable heal and stun but with no corpse clear, Occultist for a unreliable heal (but awesome heal when it do well) and a corpse clear but without any status effects or any damage to speak off.
And 1 Plague Doctor. The PD can stun the whole backrow for a turn and when that is over (unless you have a good trinket like blasphemous vial, if you do stun again at this level) you throw your blight bombs. They can kill a backrow in just a few turns if you can tank the damage. The PD can also clear corpses.

Great, thanks. Party consists 1 crusader 2 grave robbers and 1 arbalest (poor planning led to vestal lvling out of lvl 1 mission range after last mission). Base plan is to blight the heck out of the necromancer while the crusader tanks and the arbalest emergency heals (when not dealing damage)
