Necrologist
Who is Necrologist?
Necrologist is a 5-star Mineral-afflatus Support who uniquely prevents allies from dying with her Ultimate, which applies [Prayer] to all allies for 3 rounds to prevent KO and increase their DMG Dealt. If allies already have [Prayer] active she heals them instead. She also has dispel in her kit. Prydwen describes her as a unique anti-death support whose primary value is the combination of death prevention with a substantial DMG Dealt buff, though she is extremely AP-hungry since her kit revolves around her Ultimate and she provides limited value outside of it.
Kit Summary
Necrologist's Ultimate applies [Prayer] to all allies for 3 rounds — while [Prayer] is active, allies cannot be knocked out by attacks. Re-casting while [Prayer] is active heals instead.
[Prayer] simultaneously increases all allies' damage dealt for its duration, making her Ultimate both defensive and offensively valuable.
Has buff dispel in her kit, providing niche utility against buffed enemies alongside her primary survival support role.
Her kit is almost entirely dependent on her Ultimate for value — outside of [Prayer] windows she provides limited active utility and consumes AP casting skills with minimal impact.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: HP% and DEF improve her survivability to keep her alive to cast Ultimates. ATK% modestly improves her incantation output during non-Ultimate turns.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Brave New World (BiS, prydwen): 18% Ultimate Might directly amplifies her [Prayer] application and the DMG Dealt buff — her entire rotation is Ultimate-centric so Ultimate Might is the most valuable psychube stat. Her Bosom Friend (survivability alternative): HP% stacking ensures she survives long enough to recast [Prayer] before it expires in prolonged fights.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Survival team: Necrologist + fragile carry (any glass cannon) + debuffer + Necrologist — [Prayer] death prevention allows high-risk carries to operate without fear of one-shots in hard content.
Dispel + sustain: Necrologist + Horropedia + carry + carry — combines death prevention with buff dispel for fights with dangerous enemy buffs and lethal burst patterns.
F2P Verdict
Necrologist is a limited 5-star. Brave New World is the recommended psychube. Her death prevention niche is most valuable in high-difficulty content that F2P players may reach later in progression. She is a lower-priority investment early on but becomes more relevant as content difficulty scales.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does [Prayer] death prevention work?
While an ally has [Prayer] active from Necrologist's Ultimate, they cannot be reduced to 0 HP by any attack — a killing blow is negated for the duration. [Prayer] lasts 3 rounds. If you cast her Ultimate on allies who already have [Prayer], it heals them instead of reapplying the buff.
Is Necrologist a good healer?
Not in the traditional sense — she does not provide regular healing through incantations. Her healing only occurs when recasting the Ultimate on allies who already have [Prayer]. She functions as a death-prevention specialist rather than a sustain healer, making her best in compositions that already have a healer.
Why is she considered AP-hungry?
Her [Prayer] buff, DMG Dealt boost, and dispel all require casting her Ultimate or specific incantations. Outside of those windows her passive utility is minimal, meaning she spends AP each turn without providing value proportional to that cost compared to more efficient supports.
