I use this lady pretty regularly. Mine is +19 A path. I will try and remember to post a pic.

Aesthetically, I hate the costume to be perfectly honest. In terms of gameplay I rarely use the base version.

While the base form and costume are admittedly similar, I do think the costume wins out.

  • The base version has an added 10% on the special, but the costume version is like 50 A points higher. Given how important tile damage is, I would take the added damage over 10% on a special.

  • The costume special takes a 5% higher percentage of enemy A reduction for the same duration.

  • If you’re embleming you can stop at 19 on the costume. If you play base side the 20th node adds more value.

All nice pros without much for cons.

c-Skittleskull’s A value is so high she’s on my titan team. She is great for farming and PvP. I don’t typically bring her to PvP beyond war depth as it’s situationally conducive to have her. She usually plays ToL, etc.

I personally am WAY short sorceror heroes for emblems, so she works out. Good vanilla sorcerors are few and far between.

All that being said if you’re getting paywalled heroes you’ll outgrow her quickly. Until then she will help a lot. It’s not pretty (figuratively or literally), but she’ll get the job done if she needs to.

I got Skittleskull early in the game but was advised by my alliance leader not to prioritise her for levelling. So she still sits at 1/1 in my roster.
By the time I got her costume from the chamber my roster had outgrown her so I didn’t level the costume either.
She still sits in my roster waiting patiently for something…. But currently with the rate heroes are being released into the game there is always a better Green to focus on.
Just my two pennies worth ….

Skittles. Was my first Green 4*, even back then, 4 years ago, she didn’t have a good reputation. I ended up levelling Jack O’Hare first. Skittles was next

No regrets though. Her attack debuff is useful in PvE, and her low speed less of an issue

I lacked Scarlett, so brought Skittleskull to s2 final boss hard… and it was only after I added Skittles to my team that I won after over 20 tries ! (With Kiril Triton Aegir Sabina)

I have no good green roster, she is my highest attack stats on green hero, she help me break the blue tank and give high damage tiles for blue titan.

Having people like Skittles on your bench can only help given the depth we’ll now need for this elemental quest thing or whatever it is called. For most players she can be a solid middle stage hero to help save your best ones for later.

Plus, if you have the roster to field that many teams you know you have 3* mats sitting around. It would be a very minimal commitment.

:beers:

She was my first 4* green hero to get… I started leveling her and took her to 3/60 then I pulled C Kashhrek and took him to 2/50 then I pulled C Brienne and maxed her then I pulled C Caedmon and maxed him then Elradir and maxed him then C Kadilen and maxed her and now Silvaria is fully ascended and soon to be maxed. So C Skittleskull is still waiting…

I have better green 4* now that I would max before her again… C Melendor, Mielikki, Ptolemy, Anton, and Peters

If she were purple I would have definitely maxed her by now since I lack good dark heroes

Where can I report or mention the subject of improving the card, in this case I am talking about Czachów 4 *, I got a costume from the draw and as in many cards, it is always another option that may be useful in the game. Chakhov denies it! The costume has the same abilities, the difference is 5% attack and 10% damage respectively. can someone edit this for attack defense since it’s a costume? Thanks
