·Multi-source verified (96/96)

Malakor is a formidable mid-game boss, often associated with Shadow Affinity and undead units. His armies typically consist of reanimated corpses, spectral units, and powerful necromancers. He excels at debuffing your units, spreading blight damage, and overwhelming you with sheer numbers. Bring units with spirit resistance and healing capabilities. Focus on eliminating his necromancers first, as they are often the source of his unit summoning and powerful debuffs. Area-of-effect spells are highly effective against his swarms of weaker units.
