@@Defi4nc3s1 Yeah I guess they can't all be winners but I have no idea what was the idea behind this one. Say what you will about Loki but he is way more useful in several areas. She might honestly be even worse than Vaultkeeper.
@@doesitmatterwhoiam8838 Yeah mine too. But since then we also had evergreens like Adelyn and Skeletor :D . Obviously now every free champ can't or should be the best thing ever but they also shouldn't be traps.
@jankostrhun8725 probably. I was going to say Adelyn was the first that seemed kinda lame. So maybe it's going to be the way they do free champs from now on. Make them visually attractive or cool but very little playability with hopes that people sink a lot of books into them
No he is what we call a pain killer. You put something trash like that for free and people are happy because you know : wowo its free. But if you look you'll see that they release Odin & freya pay2get and He-man pay2get. Weirdly enough the pay2get champs are broken
Precisely. I have a few Clan Members that don’t understand that. Then again, they’re pay to play so they have better builds and statistically better Souls. For the most part…
It’s sad that these are still the champions we get specially legendary champs, now in days I’m not even excited to pull shards because of the fact that I’ll get a crap legendary
The thing is, that Raid had always the problem of having too many chamions of which 50% are crap, 45% are mid, 4% good and less than 1%great. And with each new patch this problem gets worse and worse, since its almost impossible to pull champions you like.
@ that’s very true, if they really are listening to us they’d be hearing us say for a while now that they need to go through the champions we do have and buff or nerf them instead of more new ones, I’d be more happy pulling champs out of my vault that I’ve upgraded instead of pulling new one, I’ve used legendary champs as food before because they’re crap I mean come on now haha
@@nathantodd8951 yeah and there’s champions that’s been on the game from the beginning that suck what’s wrong with fixing those in a update besides new ones I’m not crying or quitting but if a company gives something FREE to its community and it’s trash it kinda sucks. It’s just my opinion that means nothing no need to go crazy bud!
ngl i am thinking none of the future 7day free champions will be good cause they now comes with their own free 5* souls, no way plarium would give out a free champ that's good and also give a free soul
@@nghoangviet2322I mean time will tell, I mean both adelyn and skeletor were support champions, albeit with trash skills. Maybe we might get another ninja or UDK
Let me see if I got this: he's a support champion... who is not particularly effective at support?? By this point in the game, you have to figure the Plarium developers know exactly what they're doing when they design a champion. So my conclusion is that they deliberately created this champion as a slap in the face: "Oh, you want a free Champion? Here ya go."
I anticipate he will get an eventual buff. From my testing with the A3 you can steal stoneskin he does take a buff from basically everyone if its not protected. But with stoneskin ull get a better chance to do it if more than one opposing champ has it on and the turn meter drop could be kinda clutch, i do think Valkrie would probably negate it...but it does require rng obviously. Hes okay improve his A1. They could add a conditional ignore stoneskin and block debuff on to his a2 then hes better....He's basically a budget Harvest Jack with Support. So you can give him that disruptor role . He will drop Res when hit thats affective for pve. Use the defensive based sets with him with ACC you don't necessarily need him going in a go first team ideally if you are going to use him in arena get him as fast as possible. Those relics will actually improve some things he can do. Alot of champs will get some new usage one of those relics come out. Just as Sintranos made alot of un used champs suddenly valuable again i expected that element will also be at play.
Ash was savage in his review, he thought you guys had been very generous, he gave him a 2* over all rating. I will use him on my free 2 play account, but I'll never book him. I have Wukong and Elenaril who are both more important. He's like Adelyn in that way
I really think the whole point of offering both Skeletor and He-Man was to teach us that if you want something good you gotta fork over the cash. He-Man is good=Cash. Skeletor is bad=Free.
Thanks for the video! Perfect timing because i was thinking of building and booking him to help with arena but after seeing this i think i have better options.
Oh also, building on the bomber synergy. Petrification, like stoneskin, makes you vulnerable to bombs. This combined with Inc Accu, 100% aoe steal block debuffs, and one extra buff (if going first, likely all of them), is the perfect setup for bombers. If anything i would have like him to have extra turn on the a3 so you can steal+deebuff. This is his biggest flaw, and affinity.
I look at skeletor as a nice place holder for vizier on my new FTP account in CB. Not going to put books into him, but he will work for the role of extending debuffs on CB. Hell on my main account that I have had for 5 yrs I still dont have Vizier on it, and would have loved to have someone like Skeletor in my roster for CB back in the day when I was working my way up the ranks.
@@qintou8039 Vizier ups all debufds, multiple times per A1. He isn't close to a place holder, he isn't worth using. Lots of other champs do that, with better kits. And he will tank your damage. You would be better off with more damage than keeping that posion up 1 turn.
@cyberlocc And gor a new account that just started in the last month or so, you won't have that many options unless you are spending which not everyone does. I am not saying that he is even useful for more experienced players. For a new account however he will have a use temporarily without using books
@qintou8039 Even with a brand new account, you would be better with more damage than using him. You ate focusing on the wrong things. Increasing that posion, if it even hits the posion, is not going to do much. Even at a month, you got better champs.
Petrify: doesn't work on bosses Decrease speed: doesn't work on most bosses Turn meter: doesn't work on most bosses and if it does, hurts your team. Bommal/Griffin for example. Is also so minor, it won't be significant. His passive: build high accuracy, when he takes a hit, gets more accuracy? Why would he need more? Also applies decrease resistance. He has an accuracy buff and gets more accuracy on hit, yet he needs these two? Makes no sense. His kit makes Adelyn look good. None of it makes sense. How are you gonna put boss exceptions in a kit where most of his stuff isn't even able to be used against them? We ain't even asking for free champs to be busted, we're just asking for them to be decent. He's not even that. Basically the legendary version of Scion. Looks cool, kit is trash. Hell, I'd argue Scion is BETTER. Lol.
I think skeletor might be useful for the chimera. He will bring decrease attack, decrease speed, decrease resistance, and increase accuracy to that fight.
It seems that they removed the Masters of the Universe theme from the 2 of them and just made it a variation of the song from the other champions. I had been bringing up Skeletor's and He-man's profiles just to listen to the Song and it is no longer playing the theme song like it had the majority of the last week.
Dunno who would waste anything on such a bad unit. Sure nostalgia but he can keep watch over my Vault where the goodies are. First thing I did when I got him is give him the 1 star reviews as he deserves so people dont get baited.
@@S.D.0000 He brings dec RES, so of course he needs ACC but not that much...Skeletor is the only champ in the game with unconditional passive decrease resistance..soon he will be praised, mark my words
@@S.D.0000 He gains 20 acc for every buff on an enemy every time he uses his A1, A2, or A3. He can manage with a little less acc unless you absolutely need the Petri to land on turn 1. I mean, as an example if you're using him against a floor in DT where there's a Duchess on the other team, her A2 is laying down 14 buffs on the team. That's 280 Acc for Skeletor just for using his A3. Now, you probably SHOULD build him with decent acc, because then he can also steal the block debuffs and either the perfect veils or increase attacks she hands out as well, but he doesn't NEED acc unless you plan to open with his A2 every time.
I'm not putting no books in him. At best I'll get him to lv 60 and get his masteries. I'll most likely put him in a team with my prince Kymar (he's in reflex) and wait for them to buff him.
Depending on where you use him his A1 is actually very viable, you just have to speed tune so you guarantee you extend the debuff you want extended. I’d like to see how he handles hydra with his A3.
To be fair, if you go first, only buffs they will have is shield/stoneskin/block debuffs from sets. (Ignoring krisk and nekhret) So unless someone have all 3 you will always steal both. Block debuffs is the importantbone. Bomber dont mind stoneskin, for komidus its just a bonus since it guarantee instant trigger.
I really wish they would maintain and update the Arena Calc. I mentioned that in their discord, to be told "No one speed tunes arena teams anymore, get out of 2021". Which my Arbiter is 365, and I win alot of fights I shouldnt, because their Arbi goes and my team cuts in. I dont know why everyone thinks speed tuning doesnt matter anymore. It does. Also, no offense HH, but thats a pretty slow Arbi, I am not even level 100 and my Arbiter is 365, but assumingly you dont run Speed Teams much, as most think they are a dead meta. It works fine for me though.
Here's how I'd buff him: - add a hidden skill where petrify debuff is a protected debuff for 1 turn if Prince Adam is on the battlefield (ally or enemy team). - Make it 100% turn meter steal if Prince Adam is on the battlefield (ally or enemy team) A1- Increases ALL debuffs duration by 1 turn to 100% when booked A2 - remove the chance for decrease speed when petrification expires. Make it that he always places petrify, decrease speed and weaken (no petrify on bosses OK) -50% chance to remove stone skin if Prince Adam is on the battlefield. A3 - Places block debuff on himself for 1 turn. Does turn meter steal instead of buff steals: 25% normally, 50% VS telerian league champs. Oh, give He-man the hidden skill if Skeletor is on the battlefield, all buffs placed on He-Man prior to him using the A3 are protected for 1 turn. So you'd have reason to play both He-Man and Skeletor together, and Skeletor is still somewhat effective VS He-Man (as in he's good against allies but not He-Man directly).
Yeah, I knew it the moment I reviewed his kit dude was an automatic pass. Would be ok for new players, but I would also advise to just go with his kit without the investment (ie. books, mastery gems) that should be saved for later champs.
@GorchaxGaming I feel that I'm stuck at 19 dwarf I have all the heals revives and support with senna amberheart but little really damage from anyone else knights revenant like u said it's useful for factions definaly
@@thepidgeydictator8498 you are in a similar boat as me then, just different faction. I have healing and revive solid from Drath, and skullcrown with her sister as the main nukers has done ok thus far, but i just can't burst one of them down before they take a turn and then its just infinite healing,block debuffs, turnmeter drop. Hard wall. Hopefully skellie will solve it like i suspect, or i'll have to yolo pull for more nukers or just reroll stungear on all
@@thepidgeydictator8498 I can't remember what my full team was back then for dwarves, but i recall Fylja carrying pretty hard damagewize, also with that turnmeter drop of hers.
Ill use him as my accuracy buffer for my bomber. I've been using razel as my buffer cuz i dont have a better one, but this dude has the buff strip and dec tm aswell so he'll be an improvement.
I was never planning on putting anything in him a waste of a time and resources from I read is kit I was like where I'm going to use then it clicks oh just put him in the vault like all the others like him
I love the testing and strategies developed, but why would you think Skeletor's A2 would apply Petrification through Block Debuffs and Stone Skin? @3:20 The way I defend against Mithrala while I'm Hexed is to apply Block Debuffs and I can't get Petrified when I attack. Plus Stone Skin also blocks all Debuffs except for Bomb and HP Burn, so there's no way Petrification would be applied then, either. Petrification only removes Buffs when it's applied, but if it's blocked by Block Debuffs or Stone Skin, it wouldn't remove anything because the application never occurred. It sux how that will effect the rating, but that shouldn't have been how the A2 was thought to function in the first place. I get it if it were a slip of the mind or went under the radar during the theory crafting process, but if it was implemented in his original rating, then that means a number of people didn't catch it as well. Sorry to sound judgy or anything, I just never would have thought that was how that A2 would have functioned ingame... Still will continue to appreciate the great work!!! (Ultimately, that's why I'm writing. If I didn't care, I would have remained silent.)
Since adelyn the 7days free champs have all come with free 5* souls, so expect none of the future 7day free champs to be good from now cause no way plarium would be giving out a free champion that is good and also a free 5* soul
Hh your missing a big one is a free and easy 5 star soul. That means to newer players you get an uncleansible brimstone with a combination of decrease speed and attack opens up iron twins if you have sirvivability for people missing that. Or to use the soul anyway you want, dont discourage him from everyone. Id say get him to 50 and ascend him and make sure to get the free soul and use accordingly.
I still think he is a good bomb champ, i uusually try to run it like that Speed Lead (Arbiter), Remove Buffs (targeting Block debuffs), Gnishak and one cleaner for the rest. For the second role i think he is the best, since he also helps with the inc acc and let you reduce your speed of the bomber. His A2 is helpful for the cleaner job, and bombs are quite meta today with all those stoneskins (and a fast way to get points). With the inc acc you might get get mithrala teams, and still fear marischka ;) And you get a free 5 star aura, ideally to boost the speed aura from arbiter. There might be even a usecase for him against the new cb.
They aren’t going to make a good champion free, they learned with Ninja. Now all the good champs are either fusions like Wixwell or behind a pay wall like He-Man.
If I am Mattel, im pissed. He-man is a BIG IP, and for one of the key characters to be talked about so poorly is a bad thing for Plarium AND Mattel. I really would like to see skeletor buffed. He deserves it.
he is not horrible as a lead for komidus if you lacking other options to debuff/accuracy up. Still need a speed aura from someone though and ideally they go first, into this guy since he has turnmeter drop, not fill
Remake or move the A1 increase buff duration (useless) skill so it will work for Wixwell teams. That way the books start making better sence and people can play with him atleast in clan boss. Epics and rares can extend buffs. Right now he's vault filler or when thinking positively a bank for six gear pieces and a ring. Ash ranked him 1.5 for a legendary.. i would rank him neck to neck with Norog.
Come on Plarium. I know you guys are selling the company, but do you have to start selling out on the characters too? I mean if you guys are making something as iconic as He-Man and Skeletor, you're at least gonna need to make something we'd actually like to use, not another vault guardian. That's just lame.
i can see a few uses for him, in arena if your going against a team that has block debuffs and you need to land them to do damage he will be a huge help, or if you need to petrify a wukong or other problem enemy to win the fight. also in doom tower you can lock out a valk or a rotos os whoever else. i do agree it sucks that he needs books but its the same for loki and adelyn but they still have use.
Not entirely true. I thought so at first too, but mithrala hexes, and hexed ppl can get petrify from taking actions. Skellie here instantly petrifies, which matters if you want to avoid counterattack, OR if u want your bomber to benefit from petrify boost on his bombs without letting them take turns in between. And skulle will instantly lock down any cleanser/buffer while mithrala will not. She is aoe though.
He does steal block debuffs and one random buff, so with only stoneskin it should steal that. Stoneskin would still have its innate resist like it does against any other strip/steal etc. NOTE: i feel alot of ppl miss the fact that the ATTACK IS SINGLE TARGET, but the STEAL IS AOE!
I got Skeletor today and I will not book him either HellHades and that's a fantastic advice also I have Empowered Jizoh my favourite epic champion and he is now powerful.
I think he will be good in wave control if you lack turn meter decrease for progression (plus acc buff/lacking Stag Knight). Other than that is balad... Maybe early CB as he is givin acc and increase debuffs. Atleast its free 5 star soul tho.
maybe they will buff him after he man is no longer available, petrification with no resistance through stone skin and block buffs, and an AOE on his A 1. and the multiplier on the A1 needs a huge increase
I think what they decided to do was make Heman Op so people would most likely Buy him. While literally waiting at the last second to build Skeletor. Making him so bad they decided to make him Free.
That's what I thought, He-Man and Skeletor are licensed champions, it almost looks like you only get a limited time for these chars. Does Plarium have to give He-Man and his lapdog back at the end of 2025 and all players who bought them have invested wrongly?
"If you can build him, you don't need him". This really is peak "free stuff" :D

Also, no offense HH, but thats a pretty slow Arbi, I am not even level 100 and my Arbiter is 365, but assumingly you dont run Speed Teams much, as most think they are a dead meta. It works fine for me though.
It's definitely not dead. Not completely anyway. Before I quit, my arbi was at 399 spd and there are others that beat me in the spd race.
@laughingpanda4395 Ya Arbiters are fast, but they don't speed team their teams.
They feel like speed meta is dead, and try to build tanks instead.
Here's how I'd buff him:
- add a hidden skill where petrify debuff is a protected debuff for 1 turn if Prince Adam is on the battlefield (ally or enemy team).
- Make it 100% turn meter steal if Prince Adam is on the battlefield (ally or enemy team)
A1- Increases ALL debuffs duration by 1 turn to 100% when booked
A2 - remove the chance for decrease speed when petrification expires. Make it that he always places petrify, decrease speed and weaken (no petrify on bosses OK)
-50% chance to remove stone skin if Prince Adam is on the battlefield.
A3 - Places block debuff on himself for 1 turn. Does turn meter steal instead of buff steals: 25% normally, 50% VS telerian league champs.
Oh, give He-man the hidden skill if Skeletor is on the battlefield, all buffs placed on He-Man prior to him using the A3 are protected for 1 turn.
So you'd have reason to play both He-Man and Skeletor together, and Skeletor is still somewhat effective VS He-Man (as in he's good against allies but not He-Man directly).
Yeah, I knew it the moment I reviewed his kit dude was an automatic pass. Would be ok for new players, but I would also advise to just go with his kit without the investment (ie. books, mastery gems) that should be saved for later champs.
Id use him for factions thats it
For sure. I am hard stuck on 19. Both steal block debuff and petrify will do wonders there. And I think 20 might be valks, so good there too
@GorchaxGaming I feel that I'm stuck at 19 dwarf I have all the heals revives and support with senna amberheart but little really damage from anyone else knights revenant like u said it's useful for factions definaly
@@GorchaxGaming I hope he helps
@@thepidgeydictator8498 you are in a similar boat as me then, just different faction. I have healing and revive solid from Drath, and skullcrown with her sister as the main nukers has done ok thus far, but i just can't burst one of them down before they take a turn and then its just infinite healing,block debuffs, turnmeter drop. Hard wall. Hopefully skellie will solve it like i suspect, or i'll have to yolo pull for more nukers or just reroll stungear on all
@@thepidgeydictator8498 I can't remember what my full team was back then for dwarves, but i recall Fylja carrying pretty hard damagewize, also with that turnmeter drop of hers.
Still better than a hydra rebalance 😂
most shocking : you need teodore to empower him 😂 this is the worst login leggo we got. even adelyn was better
Ill use him as my accuracy buffer for my bomber. I've been using razel as my buffer cuz i dont have a better one, but this dude has the buff strip and dec tm aswell so he'll be an improvement.
Came for Skeletor info and learnt how to speed tune arena teams
Such a shame, he looks so dam cool. 13 books and the books really matter. Because of that he’s got garbage I’m not even building him for cursed city
I was never planning on putting anything in him a waste of a time and resources from I read is kit I was like where I'm going to use then it clicks oh just put him in the vault like all the others like him
Skeleton or Lady Kimi with Bombs?
I love the testing and strategies developed, but why would you think Skeletor's A2 would apply Petrification through Block Debuffs and Stone Skin? @3:20 The way I defend against Mithrala while I'm Hexed is to apply Block Debuffs and I can't get Petrified when I attack. Plus Stone Skin also blocks all Debuffs except for Bomb and HP Burn, so there's no way Petrification would be applied then, either. Petrification only removes Buffs when it's applied, but if it's blocked by Block Debuffs or Stone Skin, it wouldn't remove anything because the application never occurred. It sux how that will effect the rating, but that shouldn't have been how the A2 was thought to function in the first place. I get it if it were a slip of the mind or went under the radar during the theory crafting process, but if it was implemented in his original rating, then that means a number of people didn't catch it as well. Sorry to sound judgy or anything, I just never would have thought that was how that A2 would have functioned ingame... Still will continue to appreciate the great work!!! (Ultimately, that's why I'm writing. If I didn't care, I would have remained silent.)
In all fairness to Plarium, wasnt he weak sauce in the cartoon too? Raid just sticking to cannon. 😁
Since adelyn the 7days free champs have all come with free 5* souls, so expect none of the future 7day free champs to be good from now cause no way plarium would be giving out a free champion that is good and also a free 5* soul
Hh your missing a big one is a free and easy 5 star soul. That means to newer players you get an uncleansible brimstone with a combination of decrease speed and attack opens up iron twins if you have sirvivability for people missing that. Or to use the soul anyway you want, dont discourage him from everyone. Id say get him to 50 and ascend him and make sure to get the free soul and use accordingly.
I still think he is a good bomb champ, i uusually try to run it like that Speed Lead (Arbiter), Remove Buffs (targeting Block debuffs), Gnishak and one cleaner for the rest. For the second role i think he is the best, since he also helps with the inc acc and let you reduce your speed of the bomber. His A2 is helpful for the cleaner job, and bombs are quite meta today with all those stoneskins (and a fast way to get points).
With the inc acc you might get get mithrala teams, and still fear marischka ;)
And you get a free 5 star aura, ideally to boost the speed aura from arbiter.
There might be even a usecase for him against the new cb.
Feels like they really wanted to sell us He-man , and gave us Skeletor as an afterthought
They aren’t going to make a good champion free, they learned with Ninja. Now all the good champs are either fusions like Wixwell or behind a pay wall like He-Man.
Great video
He is one of the best Vault Keepers in the entire game! :D
What about a provoke build. Then use him in hydra? He has that decrease if he is attacked that he can place
If I am Mattel, im pissed. He-man is a BIG IP, and for one of the key characters to be talked about so poorly is a bad thing for Plarium AND Mattel. I really would like to see skeletor buffed. He deserves it.
im so glad there wasnt a champ training event cause i was going to build him asap.
Early game me would use this dude in perhaps later bronze early silver arena
he is not horrible as a lead for komidus if you lacking other options to debuff/accuracy up. Still need a speed aura from someone though and ideally they go first, into this guy since he has turnmeter drop, not fill
Pyxneil 2.0
Skeletor and teodor gonna have some fun in faction wars
Remake or move the A1 increase buff duration (useless) skill so it will work for Wixwell teams. That way the books start making better sence and people can play with him atleast in clan boss.
Epics and rares can extend buffs. Right now he's vault filler or when thinking positively a bank for six gear pieces and a ring.
Ash ranked him 1.5 for a legendary.. i would rank him neck to neck with Norog.
What if i just use him in the crypts...maybe put frostbite gear and some retaliaton maybe
Come on Plarium. I know you guys are selling the company, but do you have to start selling out on the characters too? I mean if you guys are making something as iconic as He-Man and Skeletor, you're at least gonna need to make something we'd actually like to use, not another vault guardian. That's just lame.
I’m actually having a lot of fun with him he absolutely sets up he man to do massive damage with the buffs stolen
His blessing for brimestone someplace is about it
Speaking of Deadwood Jedi. What happened to that guy?
I'm pissed I used my ham to push him to 6 stars, at least He-Man is awesome.
i can see a few uses for him, in arena if your going against a team that has block debuffs and you need to land them to do damage he will be a huge help, or if you need to petrify a wukong or other problem enemy to win the fight. also in doom tower you can lock out a valk or a rotos os whoever else. i do agree it sucks that he needs books but its the same for loki and adelyn but they still have use.
Mithrala already do that, and in AoE.
Not entirely true. I thought so at first too, but mithrala hexes, and hexed ppl can get petrify from taking actions. Skellie here instantly petrifies, which matters if you want to avoid counterattack, OR if u want your bomber to benefit from petrify boost on his bombs without letting them take turns in between. And skulle will instantly lock down any cleanser/buffer while mithrala will not. She is aoe though.
They can`t all be Stier but new into the game a good champ.
I really think a fast, high acc build as tanky as possible would make him a decent support for early game players.
you said sound effects, then you turn on the music??
i'd like to know how you'd butt skeletor, base on the series
I'm still looking to get his free ascensions. Could be useful in Cursed City. Easy "NO" books for this freebie
Free ascensions?
@@aBadWizard Perfect Souls, Red Stars for the ascensions. My fingers mistyped
the vault keeper 🤣
I love the steal stoneskin idea but if that was in his kit he'd be the $40 champ
He does steal block debuffs and one random buff, so with only stoneskin it should steal that. Stoneskin would still have its innate resist like it does against any other strip/steal etc. NOTE: i feel alot of ppl miss the fact that the ATTACK IS SINGLE TARGET, but the STEAL IS AOE!
I got Skeletor today and I will not book him either HellHades and that's a fantastic advice also I have Empowered Jizoh my favourite epic champion and he is now powerful.
They did Skeletor DIRTY
Great. Where's the Holiday Promo Codes?
i`ll use him in the next champ training! 7 brews in him will go a long way for champ training points :D
Is there ANY chance he gets a buff? He's not just mildly weak, he's useless.
I think he will be good in wave control if you lack turn meter decrease for progression (plus acc buff/lacking Stag Knight). Other than that is balad...
Maybe early CB as he is givin acc and increase debuffs. Atleast its free 5 star soul tho.
id sooner book adelyn.
maybe they will buff him after he man is no longer available, petrification with no resistance through stone skin and block buffs, and an AOE on his A 1. and the multiplier on the A1 needs a huge increase
I think what they decided to do was make Heman Op so people would most likely Buy him. While literally waiting at the last second to build Skeletor. Making him so bad they decided to make him Free.
I logged in after a 1 year hiatus and it turns out i spent 7 days trying to get a meh champ. 👍
Iron Golem, And clan boss is where skeletor will shinenthe most
If damage is based on HP why you dont build with HP armour?
That's what I thought, He-Man and Skeletor are licensed champions, it almost looks like you only get a limited time for these chars.
Does Plarium have to give He-Man and his lapdog back at the end of 2025 and all players who bought them have invested wrongly?
Skeletor's A2 should be AOE. His active skills should start with only 4-turn cooldowns (without skill tomes).
Until we meet again Simon!
Mwahahahahahahhahahaa!
I'm only 5 days in, I'll use him for clan boss for extended buffs attack down and his Smite
Bomb arena team support is his best placement tbh.
Keeping with the ANTICLAMATIC theme... Is he worth scrolling?
Plarium did him dirty to make you pay for He-Man. lol.
its not a "shame" its a calculated chooice by Plarium!!!
