Hello. If we look at all the Necromancers in the fifth installment, we'll see a clear division into two camps: the strong and useful ones, and the weak and unpopular ones. The first group includes Zoltan, Lucretia, Orson, and Kaspar, while the second includes Deirdre, Vlad, and Ravenna. And somewhere in between them is Naadir. Many consider this hero to be quite decent, but there's a feeling that he might not be as highly regarded in the hero community as he should be.

Let's take a look:

1. Naadir has a good start. Of course, he's far from being able to clear the entire map in a couple of weeks, like Lucretia or Kaspar, but the ghosts that appear can help clear even the most difficult areas with monsters.

2. Naadir doesn't lose his relevance in the late game. We're slowly approaching the reason why this topic was created – namely, the build for this Necromancer based on the perk in the defense skill branch - . It's precisely because of this ability that the hero becomes someone whose ghosts cause trouble and can make many enemies sweat.

Let's break it down: with each defeated enemy, the number of ghosts that appear is equal to the hero's level. This means that at level 21 in the final stage, after killing 3 stacks, we'll get 3 squads of 21. This can't be called a powerful force, but in magic builds (which will always be present in Naadir due to his starting two branches of the Dark and Summoning schools), this can turn into a real problem for the opponent... The ghosts reduce retaliation, can block archers, protect your main force, and with proper micro-management, they can block 4-tile creatures, simply preventing them from moving... Naadir is a frustrating Necromancer.

3. Center perk. Of course, focusing on a center perk is a utopia and a rarely implemented idea, but if you combine all of the above with the possibility of getting the "Scream of Terror" spell, it will become clear how many problems you can create for the enemy... Constant spawning of ghosts that block archers under Battle Defense, protection of your shooters, and blocking large units. And all this with a -6 morale penalty.
