Skullsquire is an Uncommon Force Attack champion of the Undead Hordes, a frontline warrior whose kit hints at Turn Meter manipulation through Freeze but ultimately falls short of being viable in the toughest content.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Conditional Freeze: His A2, Cold Grasp, has a 50% chance (75% booked) to place a 30% Decrease DEF debuff for 2 turns, and separately applies Freeze for 1 turn if the target is already under Decrease SPD, giving him a way to lock down slowed enemies.
Speed Reduction Basic Attack: His A1, Maim, has a 25% chance (50% booked) to place a 15% Decrease SPD debuff for 1 turn, setting up the Freeze condition on his A2.
Key Weaknesses
No Multi-Hit Skills: Because none of his abilities hit more than once, he lacks the sustained pressure needed to survive prolonged, high-difficulty encounters like Hard Mode Fire Knight, where his Freeze combo would otherwise be relevant.
Bottom-Tier Ratings: Scoring 1-3 across virtually every mode, including a 1 in Amius, Arena, Clan Boss, Hydra, Iron Twins, and Spider, Skullsquire is outclassed at almost every stage of the game.
Skullsquire is only worth using briefly for early Faction Wars progression, where his Decrease SPD and Decrease DEF debuffs can chip away at weaker waves.
