He’s a weaker version of Horgenhall. I’d use him only if no one else is available.

Alas poor Skittles. Although, the attack debuff is decent in PvE, especially where the low speed is less of a problem

I actually only beat S2 final stage hard because of Skitteskull - didn’t have Scarlett yet so Skittes was my only attack debuffer. skittles, Kiril, Triton, Aegir and Sabina was the team that finally got me through!

Skittle’s gets passed over often. I do prefer costume version personally, but if you don’t have it they are extremely comparable.

Especially early game, you’ll get a high A value for titans and tiles. The hit is pretty solid for an AoE. The A down ailment has a VERY long duration. She can clears stages on her own for farming to get to bosses too.

Given the relatively low material buy in on 4’s she is very worth it early I think if you’re not a big spender. The material cost is much more palatable to Horghall. Horghall’s trade off of survivability over high A value negates most the uses you get from Skittleskull for less.

I am guessing she gets eaten for space later if you’re not a collector, but adds early value for sure. Given the depth needed for upcoming events she may get some overdue play time too.
