Skul: The Hero Slayer – 5 Tips & Tricks
One of my biggest faults when starting out this game was my habit of grabbing items without really reading what they do.
Items can offer a variety of perks from increased damage, boosted HP, or reduced cooldown time, however, they go a bit beyond that.
When stacking items with the same benefit, you can create an incredibly powerful run. Primarily using a Power-type skull? Grab some items that increase stats specifically for Power skulls. If your skull deals mostly Physical damage, then it might be best to swap your magic-buffing items for physical ones.
There are even some more in-depth upgrades to keep an eye out for when grabbing items.
Every item you find will have up to two inscriptions adding additional benefits to that item. Some inscription types include Sorcery, Heart, Volcano, etc.
Each item has fixed inscriptions so they’ll be the same every time and can be seen below the item description. You can see all of your active inscriptions and how many items you have with them on the left-hand side of your character screen like in the screenshot above.
If you have multiple items with the same inscription, they will stack and will provide better benefits for every item with that inscription, but to a certain point as each inscription has a stacking limit.
For example, having five spirits fulfills the requirements for the Fairytale inscription, which will then spawn a very powerful ally, the Spirit King Oberon.
