Well, I would suggest the following build... Lucrezia or Daidre...
Perks: Dark magic, summoning, spellcasting, logistics, defense...
IMHO...leadership is definitely out... because it's not very useful (unless you're playing hot-seat with a friend on very large and larger maps).

I'm leveling up these skills:
1. Summoning Magic, to be able to resurrect.
2. Sorcery, to cast spells more often.
3. Dark Magic, for Berserk and other spells.
4. Luck, in my opinion, it's the most important in Heroes 5.
5. Education, I like to level up quickly + stat increase.

Tell me how to get Perfect Necromancy, because I haven't found it yet. Maybe I need to do something special?

I have a question. In what order should I take abilities and perks (and which ones, of course) to get the maximum benefit at the start when fighting neutrals or humans, especially if the human is going to rush? P.S. To get Perfect Necromancy, you'll need the Amulet of Art Mastery.

P.S. To get perfect necromancy, you'll need an art pendant of mastery.

What is an art pendant of mastery? Can you provide more details?
Ah, I get it now. Can't you take "Necromancy" as a skill?

I like taking "Luck," it's a good bonus, then "Soldier." It's better to take "Education" right away; stats will start to increase quickly. I develop "Spellcasting" to distract enemies.

Yes, perfect necromancy requires Artifact! It increases dark energy and allows you to resurrect more troops! In my opinion, Necropolis needs logistics; levels are gained quickly! Summoning magic is useless in the late game and isn't very effective anyway! And luck is great, but it doesn't fit. It's better to take defense! shddr, take logistics, immediately level up necromancy, then darkness, education, and defense (attack:smile19:). Okay, take wizardry or luck! It's better to level up the guild and expert darkness faster! And then, with indoctrination and berserk, you can slaughter any neutral creature without discrimination!:smile26:

How do you revive without summoning? I always protect my warriors. It's better to use Liches for ranged attacks rather than for resurrection.

If your opponent takes the artifact Ring of Teleportation (which reduces the effectiveness of magic spells by 50%), your summoning magic won’t be of much help! For battles against neutral creatures, you can take a new upgrade for Liches; they will help with raising the dead, but for other battles, the older versions are better!

Now, check out my build:
1. Necromancy and all related skills.
2. Defense: depends on who you're playing against.
3. Darkness: and all related skills.
4. Education: you can go up to Mentorship and then develop Necromancy in your heroes to generate a lot of dark energy.
5. Sorcery.
(If you're playing with logistics, then you definitely need to develop it from the very beginning.) And the last ability can be Light/Luck/Attack.

This tier is really effective; his troops outnumbered mine by 2-3 times... There were more Vampires than Zombies!!! It's very difficult to hold out against such a large force...

Of course, this strategy works! But if we were playing until capturing a Castle, logistics would definitely be needed. And luck is very helpful with large armies! But overall, shddr, you did great!:smile12:

Now, evaluate my build:
1. Necromancy and all related skills.
2. Defense: depends on who you're playing against.
3. Darkness: and all related skills.
4. Education: you can go up to Mentorship and then develop Necromancy in your heroes to generate a lot of dark energy.
5. Sorcery.
(If you're playing with logistics, then you definitely need to develop it from the very beginning.) And the last ability can be Light/Luck/Attack.

The last ability should be Chaos (if equal), or Summoning (Vlad, Lucretia, Naadir).

ValgallaWolf, the game isn't really about rushing. It can even go into the late game, so Chaos and Summoning might not be necessary! But overall, Chaos is good!:smile01:

Yes, perfect necromancy requires Arcanum! It increases dark energy and allows you to resurrect more troops! In my opinion, logistics are needed for Necropolis; levels are gained quickly!

Even royal griffins? Which will always take off before you can cast a spell... And even those troops that move to your side of the map before your hero's turn? Berserk and mind control are certainly good, but against any neutral, you're exaggerating... For example, titans have complete immunity to mind attacks (unless you have an artifact to remove mind protection).

And even royal griffons? Which will always take off before you can cast a spell...

Move your troops aside, the griffons will strike in vain, and that's when you can take them out.

Regarding resistance, most units don't have it. Besides, there are other powerful spells in the Darkness faction, such as vampirism, mass slow, and plague. Blindness also belongs to the magic of Darkness and is available to Necromancers.

You forgot about their battle damage... I'm not saying that you shouldn't use Darkness, on the contrary, without Darkness, a Necromancer isn't really a Necromancer... I'm saying that you should use cheap Chaos creatures to deal with neutral creatures, instead of wasting Berserkers, and it was claimed that you could attack ANY neutral creature, and I didn't agree with that.
