Skul: The Hero Slayer Patch 1.7.3 Buffs Magic Attacks

Patch 1.7.3 for Skul: The Hero Slayer is now live. This update is mainly focused on improving magic attacks.

Players who love to play the mage but often found themselves starving of mana might like the changes in Patch 1.7.3. For example, the amount of mana gained by hitting enemies with the mage’s basic attacks has increased from one to two. The mana recovery rate while meditating has increased from 1,000% to 1,500% as well.

The Great Warlock in Skul: The Hero Slayer is a unique skull that relies on magic orbs and concentrated magic attacks to deal damage. That said, some of the Great Warlock’s abilities have been rebalanced. Abyss Beam’s damage is increased and now has a knockback effect, but its cooldown is also increased to 30 seconds.

Additionally, Abyss Spike got a damage buff, and charging it completely (aka concentration) now changes its attack type. However, it got a five-second increase to its cooldown - now at 20 seconds - so it’s probably best to save the ability for tougher enemies.
