Necrologist

Short answer: Necrologist is a 5-Star, Mineral-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a Support, DPS unit. Like every Arcanist, Necrologist hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Necrologist where the Mineral advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Necrologist uses the Mineral Afflatus. That means Necrologist has the advantage against Beast units and is at a disadvantage into Plant units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Necrologist deals Mental damage and is built for Support, DPS duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Necrologist with teammates that cover the roles Necrologist does not.

Building Necrologist

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Necrologist with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Necrologist is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
