Skullsworn earns a 2.5/5.0 rating because he is the definition of a niche specialist. His score is bolstered by his unique, 'infinite' synergy with Skull-Lord Var-Gall, which makes him a staple for clearing high-level Faction Wars stages. His ability to self-cycle turns through critical hits and kills provides decent momentum for a Rare. However, his rating is heavily suppressed by his abysmal base stats and lack of utility in 90% of the game’s content. Without his specific Legendary partner, he is easily replaced by almost any other Attack champion with better survivability or team-wide buffs
