Dark Sacrifice

Dark Sacrifice is a necromantic ability available to the Necromancer class that allows the player to sacrifice their loyal minion to cause an explosion.

Description

Sacrifice your loyal minion to cause an explosion. The area covered by the explosion will depend on the servant's remaining health and your skill level. This spell represents a significant tactical decision for Necromancers.

Mechanics

  • Target: Player's own summoned minion (Deathling or other undead)
  • Effect: Creates an explosion centered on the minion
  • Damage: Area and power depend on the minion's remaining health
  • Scaling: Effectiveness increases with the Necromancer's skill level

Usage

  • Situational: Most effective when surrounded by enemies
  • Resource Management: Requires having a minion to sacrifice
  • Area Control: Useful for clearing groups of enemies
  • Last Resort: Can be used when other options are limited

Strategy

  • Best used when minion is at high health for maximum explosion
  • Particularly effective against groups of weaker enemies
  • Consider using before a minion would die anyway
  • Tactical choice between losing minion and gaining area damage
  • Can be useful to clear paths or escape difficult situations

Trade-offs

  • Loss of Minion: Permanently loses the sacrificed minion
  • Area Damage: Gains significant area damage effect
  • Tactical: Must weigh immediate damage against ongoing minion support
  • Resource: Uses a valuable summoned creature as 'ammunition'
