Units << Switch Buttom MW >>

Skullys are the cheapest units in the game, and their cooldown is the shortest of all units, so don't hesitate on using them as a basic foot soldier. They are unlocked after 1-1.

Behavior[]

When encountered, Skullys will attack quickly with their sword. They are very effective against almost every hero in their higher tiers. The only problem with skullys is that their defense stat is very low per upgrade, unlike their opposite (knights), and so withstand less hits than their counterpart in Legendary Wars. They're useful in groups, though, and are also very effective against groups. They're weak against Unicorns and tier 3-4 Wizards, due to their innate area of effect, ranged attacks.

Special[]

In tier 1, their special is called the "Spin". When the special is performed, the Skully spins forward, increasing his speed by +100% of his normal pace, hitting every enemy that comes in contact with the skully during the spin. This special scales off critical and special, lasts for 0.67s, and AI-controlled skully will only activate this ability within a range of 50. (10 Souls)

In tier 2, their special is called the "Whirlwind Shock". This special , unlike the first, increases his speed by +200%, and is performed in 3 short spins, thus allowing the Skully to damage an enemy upwards of 3 times per special cast. This special lasts for 0.25s per spin, for a total of 0.75s, and AI-controlled skully will only activate this ability within a range of 50. (15 Souls)

In tier 3, their special is called by fans, the "Whirlwind Shock II". This special increases his speed by +400%, and is performed with 1 spin, followed by another spin back to his original location, thus allowing the Skully to damage an enemy twice per special cast. This special lasts for 0.4s per spin, for a total of 0.8s, and AI-controlled skully will only activate this ability within a range of 50. (20 Souls)

In tier 4, their special is extremely similar to the tier 3 special, and is called by fans, the "Whirlwind Shock III". This special now increases his speed by +700%, and AI-controlled skully will only activate this ability within a range of 60. (30 Souls)

As an enemy[]

In 5-1, you face a skully. When killed, he awards 5 souls.

Trivia[]

  • Skullys actually upgrade defense, despite what the text says. This is a mistake in the code that causes their defense stat to be listed under speed when you're upgrading a unit, but the speed of a skully is actually equivalent to a knight.
  • Interestingly, the text initially displayed that they upgrade speed. In update 1.1, that stat changed to display that you upgrade defense. However on update 1.2 that stat displayed that they upgrade speed once again. However, they always were a defensive unit.
  • Skully's DPS per cooldown time waited, like his counterpart in Legendary Wars, the Knight, has the highest out of every unit. However, unlike his counterpart, his DPS per gem spent is not the best, as the Deadknight costs 15 gems, but has a cooldown of 10s, and his DPS is slightly less than double of the Skully.
  • Skullys are the weakest defensive units in the game, as they only get 0.25 defense per upgrade, compared to the 1 defense per upgrade that every other defensive unit has.
  • Skullys are popularly used for the suicide pre-attack strategy.
  • Tier 4 skullys are overall weaker than the Knight at tier 4, due to their slightly slower attack speed, their lower special stat, lower defense, and special that lacks any unique utility and is outpaced by other units, like the Medusa, Wolf, and Troll.
