The fate weaver is the Necropolis creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is upgraded version of fate spinner.

The Fate Weaver is Asha's compliment to the Fate Spinner. Where the latter unravels the fragile threads of life and death from the substance of Void, the Fate Weaver incorporates them into its very fabric, following the pattern that the Spider Queen has ordained. Asha has also given them the power to control time whenever their purpose warrants.^OffBck

	Dual Forms
	"Spinner and Weaver, human or spider, they're one and the same. Both will sever the thread that ties you to this world." Hashima gave this warning to the armies of Eternal Empress before waging battle with the Necromancers of the Seven Cities. The Fates have the power to change form, but both are extremely deadly. The Fate Spinner can assume humanoid or arachnidan shape. Changing shapes forces a "Wait" action. Cooldown: 1 turn(s).OffBck
	Baleful Gaze
	"How amazing! It knows you’re trying to kill it before even you do." The Arch-Demon Kha-Beleth was reportedly so amazed by the Baleful Gaze of the Fate Spinner that he spent a century trying to convince one to become his succubus. The Arch-Demon claimed that they could see briefly into the future and divine the violent intentions of their enemy. "I want one of those!". Any creature attacking the Fate Spinner first is dealt 40 damage (Dark).OffBck *
	Dance of Decay
	"Life and Death is a sacred cycle! Growing older is just the proof that Asha still knows your name." When a Fate Weaver starts to dance time seems to dance with her, and if you stand too close you will pass on to the Dragon-Goddess before your normally appointed time. The Dance of Decay accelerates the aging process, and is considered proof that the Fates do indeed draw their power from Asha, the Dragon of Order. Deals damage (Prime) to all adjacent living creatures worth of 10% of their initial Health and hastens all effects on all adjacent creatures by 1 turn producing all related consequences. This damage cannot be healed. Charges: 1OffBck *
	Venomous Touch
	"Kill the spiders quickly. Time is death's ally". The Venomous Touch of the Fates favors them in a prolonged conflict on the battlefield. The Naga general Maturato devoted an entire chapter in his famous epic poem of war, encouraging his students to change their traditional tactical strategies when encountering the terrible spiders in combat. Creatures attacking or being attacked by the Fate Spinner in melee are affected by a potent venom. Deals 14 damage (Earth) for 3 turns.OffBck *
	Freezing Web
	"Tricky Spider got away. My blade still sticky." The Fate Weaver is a formidable foe and very difficult to kill if given the time to spin a web around itself. The Orcs hate their trapping ability in particular, as it counters their traditional charge and slash tactics, and requires a great deal of patience to defeat. Enemy stacks adjacent to the Fate Weaver cannot act for 2 turn(s). Charges: 1OffBck *

Tactics

The Fate Weaver is the last key unit and a true champion. In spider form the ranged magic attack makes huge damage especially when combined with the Liches' Dark Embrace. And if the enemy tries to block her the Venomous Touch will give them additional damage and Freezing Web will give her time to change into human form for melee combat. She has lower Defense in spider form. Watch out for other powerful shooters that does not need to engage her in melee.
