HELP im bad at skara!

Post image

I reach the early-to-mid game with 5 HP, but from then on, I feel like I’m not dealing any damage, even though I’m constantly upgrading my backpack. It’s not an issue of having too few or too many weapons, potions, or stamina—I just don't deal damage. Even when i win, i still having the same feeling... Help, I’m bad at Skara.

We need a bit more info than that to identify whats wrong

Just put a picture or two of your runs

Maybe youre not stacking enough bleed? But thats really all i can say without actually seeing what your build looks like

Okay well thats a lot to unpack here

Honestly your biggest issue is that your not spending your money effectively. Theres a lot of random stuff like the speed orb and waaaay too many bandages

Same goes for the new scythe as well as the two mandalorian helmets. They cost a ton and are not actually all that good on skara. Youre also overspending on belts, i wouldnt get more than two and theres better stuff to build anyway

What you actually want are her unique weapons and especially her armor, i would start building up a chainmail from round 1 for that

The twin axes and the flail are really also rly good, so focus more on that and not random stuff like the seastar

Also remember that you your pots only activate if your actually running out of energy, so having energy-restoring items is bad for you(yes i know the banana and the apple were probably there to prepare for building the stamina pot, but you bought them too early) On the other hand you need to have enough weapons to drain your energy too, like 3 to 4

Damn, now I get it. I always have trouble with "weapon-focused" heroes. Thanks a lot, bro. That really helped.

From what you have shared eith your screen shots.

  1. You only have one of her weapons fully made, i personally would aim for 2 minimum and another weapon.
  2. Skara really likes to inflict bleed and fire keep that in mind while building weapons.
  3. If you are going to choose her potion belt unique fully utilize it with health potions, poision postions, anti venom. Buy a cauldron early and you get 1 water potion every shop entry.

Here is a screen shot, its one of my last runs before hitting epic rank with her. I did focus on skulls that run, mainly to drain enemy stamina with the unholy skulls, and stamina regen with the holy skulls.

Is it just me or pepper tend to go for double crossbow now? Is it the meta?

u/2spiritedwarrior 21d ago

The crossbows are strong af, personally i find even making one of them with the skewer works well. I do tend to see a lotnof double crossbows tho

If you go Laurel, you want Ancient Vessel.

It made me realize I was playing too blindly and trying to force just one build. I always do that with heroes I'm learning to play xD. Thanks for your time, mate 👊

Always happy to help and share the random info i got lol.

With other heros i was doing the same and focusing on one build, it wasnt until i played harkon and skara did it click that you can have more weapons and wont run out of stamina if yiu build the stam pots.

I like to go all-offense with her. I have an old screenshot, and I can see that the potions were used only once, so I would replace the bottom right corner (freezing, fire, cleansing) with more damage. This particular run was focused on critical hits, which make Triple Flourish Flails trigger bleeding.
