Role Summary

Name	Best Archetype(s)		PVE	PVP		Democalypse
	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense	Prelim	Boss
Skull Knight			3	5	4	2	1
Pros	Demons die when they are killed by Sword of Actuation, unable to be revived. This lets him counter Nebiros, Xi Wangmu and Clotho revive strategies, making him an exceptional Anti-Meta unit. Sword of Actuation has a ridiculously low MP cost at max level (5 MP) - Even without Panels it can be cast Turn 1 with War Brands. Panel 2 further reduces it to 4 MP, allowing it to be cast regardless of brands or matchup. Foe of Demons defensively buffs your team at the start of your opponent's turn, increasing your odds of surviving. Repel Phys in Teal makes him a good partner for Alilat and Atavaka.
Cons	Difficult to boost Sword of Actuation further due to it being Almighty Physical, especially in Purple where Master Assassin is already provided. Requires a good team setup around him to truly shine. Middling AGI makes him slightly awkward to fit in fast or slow teams.
Notes	Has AI issues when used on defense - AI will occasionally target demons with high HP instead of trying to finish off demons with Sword of Actuation. This can be circumvented by pairing him with sweepers like Hecate or Atavaka to soften everyone up, ensuring Sword of Actuation will kill whoever his AI targets. Auto-Rebellion also supposedly fixes this issue. Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.

PvP Builds

Archetype(s)

• Purple: Master Assassin to boost Sword of Actuation's damage, also saves a skill transfer.
• Teal: Repel Phys. Makes him great in Repel teams.

Skill Transfers

Damage Boosters to ensure Sword of Actuation can kill to revive seal. Crit boosters are needed to boost SoA's damage further as Almighty damage is hard to increase. Accuracy can be used to hit dodge tanks.

Damage Boosters:

• Master Assassin: Highest ST damage modifier for SoA. (Only for colors not called purple)
• Death Blow: A huge damage modifier that pairs well if he has Crit rate modifiers.
• Almighty Boost/Survivor: A blanket boost for SoA. Survivor adds an endure. Very rare and hard to obtain.
• Assassin: Early game/budget option. Can be used to stack with MA.

Crit Boosters:

• Auto-Rebellion: Best option. Gives SK a T1 nuke with SoA to kill off problematic demons early before they become a problem. Only available as Gacha from Yellow Tokisada and Marici.
• Savage Glee: Highest crit rate modifier for consistent crits instead. Be wary of crit rate reduction from the likes of Epitome of Fortitude and Wild Instinct.
• Bloody Glee: Early game/Budget option.

Accuracy Boosters:

• Epitome of Aggression: Accuracy modifier + Ailment resistance.
• Good Aim: Early game/budget option.

Other/Misc. Skills:

• Enduring Soul/+: Adds survivability to for him to keep revive sealing.
• Speedster: Boosts team speed if needed.
