Skulls

Skulls give Necromancers the ability to instantly deal AoE damage to enemies and instantly heal off enemies for himself and nearby allies.

As of Patch X.16.0 (Aug 2017), the heal is separate from damage and now skulls also scale with wisdom. Past 50 WIS, skulls will receive bonuses such as increased damage and healing range. The damage bonuses are different per skull but the Heal radius increase is always 0.5 tiles per 10 WIS over 50, with the exception of the Skull of Corrupted Souls, which has a heal radius increase of 0.8 tiles per 10 WIS over 50. Tier 1 Skulls and above now ignore a certain amount of defense making skulls more effective.

After Exalt Version 3.3.5.0 (Mar 2023) all skulls have a Heal Range of 4 tiles, unless otherwise mentioned.

The total amount of the Heal is restored for each player within range, not divided between them. The heal can never exceed the amount of health that the enemies have.

The WisMod for Skulls’ damage depends on the Skull. Generally, the following formula holds true:

Damage =

Due to a bug, the damage shown on the tooltip of a wismod-affected Skull may display an incorrect value.
