Elder Skarg

Legendary · Force · Attack · Barbarians

Elder Skarg is a Legendary Force Attack champion from the Barbarian faction who was significantly buffed in September 2020, transforming him into one of the game's premier Spider specialists. His signature trick — AoE HP Burn paired with True Fear — damages and controls the Spiderlings simultaneously.

Core Strengths & Abilities

Burn & Fear Combo: His A2, Hunt the Marked, attacks 1 enemy 3 times on a short 3-turn cooldown, adding an extra hit for each buff or debuff on the target (up to 3). Land all 3 extra hits and he places an AoE HP Burn for 2 turns plus True Fear for 1 turn, then steals all the target's buffs.

Irresistible Control: His A3 (booked 3-turn cooldown) grants him a 60% Increase DEF buff for 3 turns and places an unresistible AoE Fear for 1 turn, upgrading to True Fear against Block Damage targets and adding 30% Decrease SPD against shielded enemies, plus Provoke on enemy Legendaries.

Legendary Slayer: His Kingslayer passive reduces damage taken from Legendary champions by 15% and returns a free hit whenever one attacks him.

Key Weaknesses

Setup Dependency: His AoE Burn and True Fear only trigger when the A2 lands all 3 extra hits, requiring buffs or debuffs already on the target — inconsistent against clean targets.

Skarg is a perfect-10 Spider champion, doubles as a Sorath counter in Doom Tower thanks to HP Burn, and holds solid 8s in Dragon, Fire Knight, Hydra, and Ice Golem.
