Attack826 Guide: Skullcrusher
In short
Skullcrusher is a top epic protector, essential for unkillable Clan Boss teams. His 2-turn counterattack and ally protection make him invaluable in Fire Knight's Castle and Ogryn Tribes Crypt. He is a must-build champ.
Strengths
- Unique A2: places Ally Protection 50% and Counterattack on all allies (except self) for 2 turns, and gives self Unkillable.
- Passive self-cleanse: reduces debuff durration by 1 turn at the start of each turn, making him very durable.
- Unkillable synergy: perfect with Toragi and other protectors for perma-block damage teams.
- Dungeon control: counterattack quickly breeks Fire Knight's shield and speeds up runs.
- Easy to gear: stats focus on DEF and HP; just build for survivability.
Weankesses
- Low base SPD (98) demands carefull spede tuning for unkillable teams.
- Struggles in hard dungeons (rating 2.0) because his pasive isn't damage-oriented.
- Needs tomes: without bookink A2, cooldown remains longer.
- Doesn't counterattack himself, reducink team damage.

Skullcrusher Raid Shadow Legends is a Champion from the Gaellen Pact faction of the Ogryn Tribes. His main role in a team is Defense. As a rule, Skullcrusher is used mainly on the Clan Boss in counterattack teams, as well as on the Fire Knight to quickly remove the shield with allies' counterattacks. But this doesn't mean he isn't suitable for other dungeons. The Champion will fit almost anywhere and will be a good boost at the start of the game. How to gear Skullcrusher? Mainly take the Lifesteal set and Speed, or something else for survivability and damage. That's up to you to decide. For this, you can simply watch a few video reviews and decide for yourself based on the sets you have available.
