Build curse charges before casting Skull. Its explosion is delayed, so aim to catch an opponent who has committed to a path or spent mobility. If the attack misses, play defensively while your cooldowns recover.
Use Skull after building curse charges
The supplied draft describes Skull as a delayed burst attack and says curse charges increase its damage. On that basis, casting Skull before building charges gives up the draft’s stated damage-scaling advantage. The timing also matters because an opponent can move out of the explosion area.
- Build curse charges on your target.
- Cast Skull when you can anticipate where the opponent will be during its delay.
- If the explosion misses or your burst window ends, focus on defense rather than chasing until your cooldowns return.
The draft identifies mobility skills as a way opponents can dodge the explosion. It also describes the Cursed Skull as vulnerable between cooldowns, so a missed burst is a signal to stop pressing the attack.
What this guide can’t establish
The source describes a video that tests the Cursed Skull in PvP, but it does not provide the test results. The supplied material also gives no prices or comparisons with other weapons, so it can’t establish whether the Cursed Skull is the best budget PvP choice.
