Necromancer Lantern
The Necromancer Lantern is a Secret ranged weapon from the Spooky faction. It is used by the Necromancer.
Characteristics
The Necromancer Lantern is a unique weapon that can resurrect slain enemy units into an ally Stiffy. Each attack with this weapon will cast two ghastly skulls toward any enemy unit; these skulls will direct toward the closest enemy unit even if not aiming at them. Upon impact, the skulls will drain the health of the unit at an incredible rate.
Upon death, the skulls will quickly absorb the slain unit and resurrect them. The resurrected unit will retain all their weapons from the previous life, but lose their abilities and armor; resurrected units will don the standard Skeleton Warrior or Skeleton Archer armor, depending if their main weapon is melee or ranged respectively. In addition, these resurrected units will only have 25% of their previous life's health.
Appearance
It appears to be a Kerosene Lantern, team-colored, with a light wax colored candle. Its main projectile that it fires looks like a light blue, low-polygon skull, with a light blue aura, which also surrounds the Lantern.
Trivia
- Stiffies like the Skeleton Warrior can also get "resurrected" by the Necromancer Lantern and converted to the lantern handler's team.
- Because of its Enrage ability, the Jarl will be a good counter.
- If the handler attacks their own team, the victim will still get resurrected, but stay at the same team.
- When you make the lantern two handed it goes behind your back in the UC.
- If the resurrected unit is a custom unit the weapons they are using will not use custom projectiles if any are present.
