Thanks to the balancing changes, the latest patch of Skul: The Hero Slayer is changing the game's meta. A total of seven Skulls got tweaked, with some buffed while others nerfed. The developer also made changes to a wide variety of items.
Naias's Heart item is buffed as damage dealt once the Freeze effect subsides has been increased. The Mysterious Apparatus now amplifies the power of the force wave, inflicting greater damage upon impact. The Rapid Sword of the Subconscious enhances slash attacks triggered by item effects, resulting in higher damage output. The Acceleration Sword's minimum cooldown is reduced, and the Mana Gauntlets have their effect duration extended from three to five seconds.
