With 170% Special Skill Damage, she canāt kill a fully leveled Telly/Freya minion.
Skadi doesnāt seem to be as strong as I had expected.
Yeah this seems very poor, that hit probably wonāt kill the minions outright so itās going to be very hard to get the situation to workā¦ I may be wrong but Iām happier with grimble for minions
@Guvnor, does the stack work for the skill power or turns? e.g. Suppose I have a max leveled Skadi and killed 3 enemies. Does that mean that if I activate her skill, the enemies will receive 90 Frost damage and -18% mana generation at the end of the turn or they will receive 30 Frost damage and -6% mana generation for 3 turns?

The art design? One word: THICC
The character looks like sheās straight on some Gears of War vibes with them big azz hands. Hands bigger than yo face! That being said, I actually donāt mind the design and like the blue tattoo details.
It seems like they already released a Noor counter before they even released Noor 
The first one 
The frost damage is set as DoT (permanent :-/ ).

Wowā¦ Killing a bunch of minions (Telluriaās, Seshatās, Druidās thornsā¦) for 300 Frost damage each turn seems like a guaranteed victory.
From above, potentially. Still gotta charge her probably 2-3 times to get to that point using off-colour weak tiles soā¦ Potentially less effective
Well, I had 2,500 coins from last month. Got Skadi. I canāt decide how I feel about her. When she was slow she was an easy pass. Now? Iām not sure. She seems like sheāll be great against a minion team. Sort of like what a hero like Grimble was supposed to be. They keep pushing minion heroes and she seems like a great counter. Sure, that might seem niche, but I am an endgame player with 30+ maxed 5s.
Think sheās worth maxing?
Into my personal roster? No I wouldnāt beā¦ Not when there are heroes like Lepus, Frida, Ariel 2, Issy and Magni (+costume) all waiting for telescopesā¦
I canāt speak for your gameplay style nor your roster but I also personally dislike having to wait to get the full effectiveness of a hero special. For Skadi you gotta have killed lots of heroes/ minions on order to get the full effect of the stacksā¦ Which I dislikeā¦ Iād prefer to just kill them dead lol.

Wait, her stack only applies if the enemies/minions are killed via her Iceberg Crushās 170% dmg? Based on the description, I was under the impression that it would include all previously defeated enemies/minions during the round/attack/stage.

My maxed 5* blues: Ariel, Frida, Alasie, Master Lepus, Finley, Miki, Vela.
Currently leveling: Magni + Costume.
Other options: Ariel2, Richard + costume, Thorne, Isarnia + Costume, King Arthur.
Ariel2 isnāt really an option because I always go with variety over anything else, even if a duplicate is the ābetterā choice.
Haha, me too! Life doesnāt always work out that way though! Better to be prepared 
Killed enemies are including minions??
Iām going to reserve judgment until some actual game reports come in. Those stack numbers sound scary on paper, but if Skadi is accumulating them by killing enemies then her team was already winning the raid. Win more mechanics can often look or feel sexy, and if thatās your goal, cool. Thatās a valid way to play and enjoy the game. Personally, Iām all about winning the raids, so Iām interested in heroes that push my win probability and Iām not convinced Skadi does that.
If Skadi is getting stacks by taking out minions then (it sounds obvious, but) the defense had to already cast minions. In that case the defense is probably already well ahead and the offense has other problems (e.g., Telluriaās mana slow). I can see Skadi potentially doing something to get you back to having a chance in that sort of situation.
I think a lot of the posts so far are ignoring these dynamics, though admit I could easily be wrong about the way sheāll function in actual gameplay.

Nope; just gotta be dead by the time of casting.
Depends which partā¦
For the āadditional +70% damageā part, NO.
For the two stack effects, YES.
Hi Guvnor, thatās not what Iām seeing on my testing so far with her. The stack is only cast when her special kills something. Is this intended or a bug?
@Guvnor some screenshots to explain
-
2 bosses in this level, one killed though tiles, skadi is at full mana, ready to go off
-
Used special, no stack on the enemy.
Iām only able to get stacks if her special kills someone

Skadi in actionā¦ I dont understand her specialā¦ I dont see the residual damage for every fallen enemie
You donāt have anything to see. Her hit is increased per dead enemy, this does not show in her card stats as a bonus. When she used her special she did not kill a minion or enemy so no stacks were generated.
You need to hit badly wounded heroes who have a couple of weak minions in front of them, then she can get her stack in play. Oh you killed the heroes you say and have won you say, oh that means you still dont have a stack. lol
