Thant the Necromancer is a Necropolis hero. Thant starts with a spell book and the spell Animate Dead.

Increased Effect

Thant's specialty increases the effect of Animate Dead as follows:

Animated HP = (SP*50+30)*(1+[N/n]*0.03) - for Basic Earth Magic

Animated HP = (SP*50+60)*(1+[N/n]*0.03) - for Advanced Earth Magic

Animated HP = (SP*50+160)*(1+[N/n]*0.03) - for Expert Earth Magic

where N is Thant's level and n is the creature level. Thus, the effect is stronger for lower-level creatures.

User commentary

[Show user commentary] [Hide user commentary]

Thant is one of the most powerful Necropolis heroes. He starts with Animate Dead and, as a Necromancer, typically learns Earth Magic. His specialty in Animate Dead allows him to raise units more efficiently as well. Thanks to this, Thant tends to lose far less units in battle, which in combination with the Necromancy ability can let him raise a fearsome army faster than other heroes. Unfortunately, one of his valuable skill slots is wasted by the worthless Mysticism skill.
