The Best Skull to Use in Skul: The Hero Slayer

Skul: The Hero Slayer tasks players as the antihero, Skul, as he makes his way through forests, castles, biolabs, and more, to stop the humans from destroying the demon world. First and foremost, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a challenging roguelike game that will test players’ 2D action-platforming prowess. This game is no walk in the park, despite its tantalizing visuals and gorgeous musical tracks.

The player guides Skul on a ground-breaking journey that will change the world as they know it. To do so, Skul needs to take on the aspects of several Skulls that he acquires through the game.

Skulls

In Skul: The Hero Slayer, Skul will eventually come across different types of Skulls, each imbuing him with different abilities and personas. There are over 100 different Skulls and they are divided into four tiers, each progressively stronger than the last:

  • Common Skulls
  • Rare Skulls
  • Unique Skulls
  • Legendary Skulls

Today we will be discussing the Legendary Skull – Grim Reaper.

Grim Reaper

In our opinion, the Grim Reaper is one of the best Skulls in the game. Whether it is the best or not, hanging up there with Skulls like Archmage and Archlich, is debatable, but we feel like in terms of playability and accessibility, Grim Reaper works out the best.

His skills are as follows:

  • Death by Fire: Summons a massive inferno
  • Sentence: Quickly dash forward and attack
  • Harvest: Broadly swing your scythe, inflicting great damage on nearby enemies
  • Hellfire (Swap Skill): When switching characters, summon a hellfire on the spot

The Grim Reaper’s main combo is a 3-strike one, but his scythe has a really high range along with high damage. The Death by Fire skill sets the ground beneath on fire, repeatedly hitting every enemy around, including airborne enemies. The Sentence skill has its own utility, by making Grim quickly dash forward and attack while leaving flames in his wake. Due to its extremely long range, this skill can also be used to get out of danger.

These factors make Grim Reaper the best overall Skull in our opinion.
