The Monkey Necromancer!

1. Introduction

The Monkey Necromancer is a dark general that does not possess any strong means of nuking his opponent, but relies more on a myriad of supplemental and disabling skills in order to be effective. He is a ranged fighter that uses a dart blower (staff-like in appearance) as his weapon of choice. In short, outside of summoning minions (zombies), he can do the following:

A: Heal himself and allies through wards that use creature deaths as a well from which health is replenished.

B: Reduce attack power and attack speed through the AoE effects of totems similar to the Rook's tower (although they deal no damage and cannot be destroyed by damage).

C: Prevent himself or allies from dying through the zombification spell (as you are already "dead" for the duration); conversely, he can prevent enemies from recovering health through the same skill (an effective counter against demigods like Sedna and players that use potions or priests), although they enjoy the same preventation of death.

D: Immobilize opponents by creating a triangular cage through the aforementioned totems that he can erect; like putting together a puzzle, you erect two of these in advance, eventually erecting a third to enclose any nearby enemies in the 3-point triangle created by the addition of the third totem.

Unholy Totem

Monkey Necromancer erects an unholy totem onto which iconographic characters imbued with magical properties may be placed.

Zombification

Further levels in this skill will bestow a silence effect upon enemies.
