Necromancer Wizard might be a bit overpowered...
Just finished my first full playthrough of the first campaign, and maybe the other ones are more difficult, so take this thread with a grain of salt.

I found the Necromancer Wizard to have an almost trivial and unbeatable win method.

The method involves using the Wizard with the following picks:

Style: Necromancy School
Primary: Book of the Dead
Secondary: I used Scrolls of the Damned, but honestly, I never had to use defensive moves anyway, so it wasn't really that important
Armor: I used Arcane robes, but again, I never really had to actually use it, although I guess starting with the 2 extra energy is nice
Trinket: Death Ring
Bag: Crow Familiar

The basic strategy is to just spam Revenant Attack to quickly cycle through your cards. Your main goal is to draw Soul Armor.

Because of how cheap Revenant Attack is, you can cycle through your entire deck almost indefinitely. All you need to do is to get 3-4 Soul Armor active. Once you do, the enemies just can't damage you, and kill themselves by attacking you instead. At the same time, as you're cycling, you also play Wraith Collector whenever possible. This ensures that every time you end your turn, you'll essentially fill back up with Souls on the next turn.

Whenever you run low on either Souls or Corpses, you use Dark Ritual and Raise Undead to get them back. If you ever run low on energy and don't have your 3-4 Soul Armor active, you just play one of your two stock cards to regen energy, and continue.

Depends on the enemy. Try that on stone statue (forest) enemy and golem (cave) then update me.
They immune to all status except unaware.

Thanks for the post Nightmyre! All feedback is useful and helps us balance the game better.
The City adventure is the easiest and as Samseng says that same build will not be as strong with other types of enemies. That said, the wizard is still going to be receiving some balance updates soon. ;)

I used the Burning book that mostly focus on burn damage and multi target.
Cleared most of the game and make me smile like a Fire God.
Then I reach Golem/Statue, I restart my game out of frustration.

The same build will not work everywhere.
