Skul: The Hero Slayer tasks you as the antihero, Skul, as he makes his way through forests, castles, biolabs, and more, to stop the humans from destroying the demon world. First and foremost, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a challenging roguelike game that will test your 2d action platforming prowess. This game is no walk in the park despite its tantalizing visuals and gorgeous musical tracks.

One of the best parts of this game is that you can swap out your skull with over 100 different ones. Each skull provides a completely different way to play, with new abilities, skills, and aesthetics. Think of the new skulls as new weapons or character types and you get the idea here. With so many to stumble across during your time playing, here are the best ones to look out for.

10 The Rider – Fast And Furious

The Rider skull is seemingly inspired by Ghost Rider. This skull is based on magic and physical damage and he rocks an ethereal green glow when performing special abilities or when upgrades via bone fragments.

The Rider is incredibly powerful, mostly down to his speed and magic-based attacks, including the ability to ride a ghostly bike back and forth on the ground and in the air to deal wide swaths of damage to his enemies. Plus his chain attack provides a one-two punch to eliminate even the most harrowing baddies.

9 The Grim Reaper – Overcoming Death

With a skull named Grim Reaper, you would imagine it would be an all-powerful aberration of death, and you would be correct. The Grim Reaper is a rare skull to stumble across but if you happen upon it, be sure to toss out one of your other skulls for this one.

The Grim Reaper deals massive area of effect damage and also just looks incredibly awesome. One of the best reasons to equip this skull is for a screen-clearing attack that can take out anyone or anything in your direct vicinity. While the Grim Reaper moves more slowly, his attacks can take down minions and bosses with relative ease.

8 The Gargoyle – Rock Solid

The thought of flying around the screen causing powerful physical damage as a gargoyle sounds pretty incredible right? The Gargoyle is one of the most agile skulls in the game because it can attack from the ground or while hovering, which becomes very useful in large boss battles.

The Gargoyle comes with a variety of skills depending on the version you pick up in a given run. Easily the best ability is the tornado-like attack that sweeps enemies along a direct path while damaging anything in its path.

7 The Clown – No Laughing Matter

The Clown skull, which does look more like a medieval jester, is equal parts silly and scary. Simply put, you don’t want to mess with the Clown skull. This is one heck of a powerful skull that deals heavy magic damage to foes.

The Clown is incredibly agile and effective, making quick work of enemies with explosive dagger attacks that even The Joker would be proud of. The Clown can also be upgraded a couple of times via bone fragments to increase the damage output from these dagger attacks.

6 The Skeleton-Pike – Simple, Yet Effective

The Skeleton-Pike skull is a common one to stumble across, however, that doesn’t mean it’s a slouch in its efficacy. The Skeleton-Pike, as its name implies, transforms you into a skeleton with a powerful, mid-range pike.

The reason this skull is so good to use, especially early on in the game, is because it allows you to attack multiple enemies at once from a distance. This, in combination with the standard dash attack ability, make this skull one to keep your eye on when learning the ropes of this game.

5 The Werewolf – Transform Your Skills

The Werewolf skull is a common variety skull that you will most likely get in the Deep Forest area of the game, or at the home castle from Fox Hunter (once released). Interestingly, the Werewolf looks more like a honey badger than a wolf.

The Werewolf skull makes you incredibly nimble and powerful. This skull increases your physical damage where you swipe away at enemies with sharp claws. The abilities tied to this skull are typically a stronger claw swipe or a dash attack that allows you to lunge through multiple enemies, tearing them down with ferocity.

4 The Water Skull – Soak Your Enemies

The Water Skull is quite self-explanatory in that its attacks are all based on water varieties. Interestingly, the Water Skull allows you to physical attacks but with a water element. This element allows a meter to charge up after successful attacks which then leads to an area of effect attack.

Also, the Water Skulls skills deal out devastating water spouts, tornadoes, and wave-based attacks that can damage a large group of enemies.

3 The Ninja – From The Shadows

Ah yes, the stylish Ninja Skull. This rare skull is easily one of the most fun to use due to its incredible speed and near-constant attacks. This special type of skull even comes with some unique abilities such as a shadow clone, a bloom attack, and a circle of shurikens.

Also, due to its agility, the Ninja Skull will give you the power to stay aloft as well as raining down daggers on unsuspecting foes below.

2 The Archlich – Sheer Power

If you somehow manage to stumble upon this ultra-rare skull, don’t miss out on the opportunity to pick it up. The Archlich is a powerful demon who provides some of the most debilitating attacks in the entirety of the game and does so with immense flourish.

The Archlich uses dark magic to wield massive chains that can spring up from the ground or simply appear out of nothing in order to lay waste to your foes. Interestingly, there is even a boss battle earlier in the game where the two princesses have similar dark magic attacks to the Archlich.

1 Your Default Skull – Stick With The Basics

It might come as a surprise, but the default skull that Skul comes equipped with is actually one of the best in the game, albeit, minus the flair and excitement. Yes, this humble skull gives you the power to deal a good amount of damage in rapid succession with your bone attacks.

Also, you are able to lob your head across the battlefield to deal ranged damage. When you want to zip around to a new area, simply teleport to where your skull landed to continue the chaos. Sometimes simplicity is the key to success.
