Necro Tips?

1. Go into enemy flagroom as Necro with full health/steak
2.Charge straight at flag
3. Run away with flag
4. Steak and hope you dont die

If you want you can set up your spawner outside and when you get out of their flagroom run by the mobs but I seriously dont think that'll do anything because the mobs never work. In the end you probably shouldnt try to cap with Necro because it sucks and it gets targeted a lot

 

Don't play necro. Like seriously.

Necro is not a capping class, the spawner can not at all be used in a fast-paced combat (e. g. ninja or pyro) to save oneself. Necro is not a tanking class, the armor is worse than soldier's, steak amount is the same, but again, it has no abilities to get away or to defend. And necro is not a high mobility class to get away either (e. g. ninja or assassin).

Necro is only good for midfielding, and even then only when you have a decent killstreak. And even then, not rly..

There is a reason why no one necro caps, except for the lolz. Accept it...

 

Run like hell, not really much you can do with it at the moment.

 

Go AFK under some bridge and hope nobody finds you.

 

Well what I do is this.
I run in, and I steal the flag and escape using any shortcut. I kill any ninjas and assassins I see and then run. Basically I just keep steak in hand. LOL Idk how I cap but I do.

 

tbh, necro has a decent armor and steak

 

I mean, it's doable. Necro can tank some things well, but not necessarily a flag room. The key here is to not try and solo it. Get in a call with a medic, buffed chemist, and buffed ninja. Have the ninja kill the pyro first off, then the chemist can take on most of a flag room pretty easily, the medic can support him as well as the rest of you. While they're distracted by the ungodly health pool that is Chemist, you can steal the flag and try to get out with or without the medic.

 

I'd recommend placing your zombies in an annoying place that's close enough to the flag room to harass them but not quite close enough to make it worth attacking the spawner. Once you've got the zombies spawning as cover, do what EddCrumbs said. If you're lucky the zombies will provide a couple extra seconds distraction.

You can't forget to use your most important offensive tool at least once, even if it does take a few extra seconds to set up.

Edit: or do what @Hanatamago_San said, if you're one of those noobs who actually uses teamwork, bleh.

Edit 2: apparently mobs suck. Well, um, run in and pray like crazy to the undead capping gods of old? I'unno.

 

As I explained, soldier would be better in every way when it comes to pure equipment. Same steak, better armor, better sword... ^^

 

Necro has 6 steak, soldier 4
Also Necro has a diamond pickaxe

 

wait, since when does necro have 6 steak

 

That strat works with every class, because chemist/medic teams are stupidly broken.

 

^This

 

Since always. And Necro has 1 less armor point then Soldier, Not a significant change, the only thing soldier has over necro is mobility and no fall damage. Necro's pickaxe can actually do good damage since it crits more often then a sword would.

 

I don't understand why necro isn't just reworked. It has no role in the ctf metagame other than being a nuisance. It camps, has mobs that gradually get stronger when killed (shouldn't it be the opposite?), and doesn't fit in with the other classes. Instead of having a static spawner why not go in the direction of Wiki's old rework. You spawn mobs at will and maybe with an extra compass or something you can command them to target certain players. Having zombies after the defensive pyro would be very nice for creating distractions.

All it really needs is a reliable method to create space and you have a unique capping class instead of a boring, out of place, camping class: Maybe it only takes 5 hearts from a pyro; The mobs are summoned to attack the flagroom; It's just always buffed. Something to make it worth using on offense. Ditch the camping and give it an offensive niche that no other class can do and you got a good class. 6 steak and strong armor are nothing to sneeze at unless the class has nothing to do with the bulk. The fact that you have no control over the mobs really makes it a dice role whether the mobs actually do anything let alone contribute to winning the game.
