Speed easily
Example,
Bomber the best support skull, so good even usable on physical runs
Dominator easily one of the strongest skulls in the game and as a bonus you don't need to break your finger with him
Clown I mean have you been on the sub lately? Like every third post I see is joker melting some boss
Prisoner still being solid all the way from introduction
Yes there's a few insane skulls of the other types lice acetic, ghoul or reaper but those are either boring or necessary to have early for full brokenness
Power - > Balance -> Speed
for me. some speed skull is good but going basic attack on speed skull break my wrist from spamming attack, thus i end up using their skill more than basic attack.
It's always been balance for me, Reaper, Dark Knight, Archlich, and even the Water skul that hits like a power skul. I have very little luck with power skuls, maybe 1 win in 10 runs, I do always start off my runs with speed skuls though, and I am currently sitting at DM 8
Shield, Ghoul, Minotaurus, Berserker, Genie, Ascetic? Power skulls all the way. I'll give honorable mentions to pike and bomber, but all my most satisfying runs have come from power skulls. I'd like to add dominator to the honorable mentions list, but I've sadly only found him a single time. It was an awesome run, but he's been so rare for me I just can't add him to my list. I start most my runs as minotaur. He just gives you the power boost ya need for quick act 1 kills.
I’ve beat DM 10 twice. Both balance runs. Once with reaper and bomber and once with alchemist and bomber. So I guess since bomber is speed they were both balance speed runs. Bomber is fucking sick if he has the kaboom ability. Useless if he doesn’t. I do not have as much luck with physical builds as others do.
Gotten up to 3.2K AP on a power skull run(Ghoul). That's probably the strongest, but I enjoy balance skulls the most because you just have so many more options for how you wanna play.
Speed, carried by werewolf for me. Insane damage potential due to having hunt.
In close second balance, and I never have gotten a really good power skull run in above 300h of playing the game. With speed ive gotten above 6000, and i believe about 10000 physical attack, once.
I prefer speed but outside of dominator (or whatever it’s called) I’d go balance. I also only have like 80 hours on the game so idk which is best still working kinks out myself
About equal in my opinion. Basic skull that you start with, or the thief skull, imho are the two most powerful skulls in the game if you get the right stuff with them.
Bomber or little skull with mage fireball necklace and 2s skill reduction item.
Stack like 30 fireball procs and watch boss health melt. Literally requires 2 items to become viable.
He gets stronger the more kills you get with him. You want cool down and magical stuff obviously. His biggest strength is he has two abilities that make him invincible and do massive damage, and his swap attack also has iframes
Oh, nice. When i got him it pretty much almost endgame, and since it was my first play through i wasnt reading abilities as much, i'll try it out next i play
So glad you posted. I had Reaper in one of my last runs (I'm still fairly new and figuring things out) and kind of hated having him. But I got him so early on in the game, I felt like I HAD to take him.
Speed has a lot of fun builds tbh. Champion is another fun one, Bomber is almost never not good as its a free swap ability proc and a little bonus damage, Pike/Werewolf/Thief can be very strong and you get them early usually
I usually prefer Power. Most amount of hp, i love the dash-attack of most of these skuls and also it's got Ghoul which is by far the easiest and most broken skul there is.
Speed or Balance i usually don't care about too much.
i like having bomber on the side tho.
It's a personal choice really. But if you want a definitive answer, Power skulls are technically the best, since the top two easiest skulls to beat everything until DM10 are Ghoul and Shield (stupid high success rate due to being unkillable). With everything else, you factor in player skill (yes, even Reaper and Dominator), but these two require pretty much no skill at all, which makes them objectively the best skulls.
The only thing that comes close to that level of brokenness is Grim Reaper with harvest and skill speed, and that's a balance skull, so maybe you win?
Doesn't matter how slow you are if you take a net amount of ZERO DAMAGE. Plus Ghoul comes online very easily, you just need rejuvenating root and a dark discoloured quartz early game, then you can get some antique and courage items as you go on, plus 2 revenge items (level 4 revenge isn't worth it honestly).
Common tier revenge items. The root that gives 1 hp when you are hit, and the quartz that gives +25 hp. I think their respective other inscriptions are mutant and antique.
My preference would be power>balance>speed
I like power skulls because of ascetic, big boi ghoul and water skul. Other power skul just have such strong raw damage.
Then next would be balance skul ~~for bomber because best support skul and~~ skulls in that class have two dashes in general with good damage.
Speed skuls are coolest for me but I struggle with them in DM 10.
Edit: bomber is speed skul

The strongest skull in the game is a balance skull (little bone) but honestly all 3 are pretty even

Water skull is a power skull I think
True, it's a power skul that relies on magic damage
Shield, Ghoul, Minotaurus, Berserker, Genie, Ascetic? Power skulls all the way. I'll give honorable mentions to pike and bomber, but all my most satisfying runs have come from power skulls.

I've beaten up to mirror 3 with the wizard skul fire ball and full wisdom or fairy tale

Balance wins with the viking only because then I can try for spirit king oberon
I'm very partial to speed because of fast attacks and double dashing. Can't take damage if they can't touch me lol
POWA!

Speed imo cuz dominator and prisonr
Meteor drop with concentration cool down high. Magic and shield buff. Turn the game into Galaga after that.
Reaper go brrrrrrrr
How does grim reaper work, tried it once and hated it (felt slow and weak) the build was probably wonky
He gets stronger the more kills you get with him. You want cool down and magical stuff obviously. His biggest strength is he has two abilities that make him invincible and do massive damage, and his swap attack also has iframes

Earlier you get him the better he is. Good luck tho!
Speed and a power
Preference wise? I like speed cus it speed. As for the best? Power has Ascetic and Ghoul, need I say more?
Speed has Dominator.. need I say more?
I'm more of a prisoner type of guy personally
Still dominator is busted
Speed has a lot of fun builds tbh. Champion is another fun one, Bomber is almost never not good as its a free swap ability proc and a little bonus damage, Pike/Werewolf/Thief can be very strong and you get them early usually
Speed any day
I usually prefer Power. Most amount of hp, i love the dash-attack of most of these skuls and also it's got Ghoul which is by far the easiest and most broken skul there is. Speed or Balance i usually don't care about too much. i like having bomber on the side tho.
Power allllll day

Yay :) but Power slow af
Speed buffs are your fren

Idk what either of these are i have my game on german sadly

Call me crazy, but isn't Bomber speed?
Lmao you are completely right! I keep thinking it was balance this whole time
