Necromancer

A variant of the Skeleton.

Fragile summoner: an army of the risen does the fighting, and longer effects keep it standing.

It keeps about 7.5 units away.

How to deal with it

The Necromancer does very little fighting itself. It stays back and summons an army of the risen, and those minions do the real damage.

It is fragile for a summoner, so killing it is the right move, but the crowd it raises usually stands between you and it. Longer effects, such as damage that lingers or weapons that pierce, help keep pressure on it while you keep moving.

Do not stand still fighting the summoned monsters. Walk around the edge of the group and focus the Necromancer first, then clean up what is left. You meet it in the Cursed Forest.
