The Necrobinder

A Spireborn lich who seeks revenge. Calls upon her trusty left hand, [gold]Osty[/gold], in combat.

Playstyle

Dark summoner who floods the battlefield with disposable minions. Considered the hardest character by the community. Extremely powerful once mastered — especially Ethereal/Soul builds. Her low HP makes fast fights dangerous.

Strengths

Ethereal/Ephemeral builds are most consistent. Soul cards draw tons of cards. Spirit of Ash in ethereal build = automatic win. Negative Pulse covers AOE.

Weaknesses

Hardest to learn. Doom mechanic is controversial — many find it weak. Low HP makes hallway fights punishing. Struggles against AoE enemies.

Style

Prioritize block, weak, and summons. Soul synergies > Doom synergies early on. Osty scaling with Friend cards can reach ridiculous HP.

Community Tips

Practical advice from high-ascension players

Ignore Doom initially — start with Soul/Ephemeral builds. The common block cards (Defy, Gravewarden, Negative Pulse) + upgrades + small deck take you all the way. Reaper Form makes every build a doom build — literally doubles your damage.
