Playing Ne of Kiku

[BabyRage]

How do you play as necromancer of Kiku? Just zombie spam all day and melee with dagger/qb of pain? What are good spells to branch out? How do you deal with OOFs and other nasty non-undead monsters with rN+++ in 3 rune game?

Target spells: Bolt of Draining for shooting through meat shield (Venom Bolt works too), Death Channel.
Then you can choose between heavier armour or get Simulacrum. I like to have electro weapon to deal with rN+++. Orbs of fire die to minions and melee. Sometimes I get orb of destruction (if my race is better in light armour).

I like to go with a light-armour melee guy, myself, with necromantic charms and buddies. Once I get the spell level, branching into some other magics like Conj or Charms is often good, but that's useful advice for all light-armour people.

Corpse drop + Corpse Rot is your berserk.

Or corpse drop + animate dead, once you have animate dead. A horde of zombies solves many problems.

Haunt (preferably with death channel) and sub.blood solve everything lategame. Well, everything that can't abjure or smite-target.
