Found out how to make incredibly strong power skull builds (not sure if this is well known)

So I know that its pretty much common knowledge that physical power skulls don't deal as much damage as magic normal skulls, but I may have found out how to even that playing field.

First off: Don't focus to hard on Courage, its honestly not nearly as good as tactics due to the fact that several items with courage don't even boost your attack. even Demolition is situational and is only really good on certain skulls.

Instead focus your build on swapping. many power skulls have incredible swap-in attacks, and a LOT of great physical items benefit from using both skulls.

For Example:
*sage's time has double the effect
*giants axe activates a shockwave (also has preparation,demolition and can activate rear blast)
*Clown's surprise box deals physical damage (also has preparation and can activate rear blast)
*offensive wheel activates (also has preparation, courage and can activate rear blast)
*inner malice activates
*Bone of courage has double the effect for having two power skulls

On top of this, using both skulls means your skills are almost never on cooldown so you can use the item slots you would usually set aside for broken mana engine, mage's mana bracelets, and prayer of grace for more damage.

Also remember that orc and hero's holy sword exists and will crush the final boss into a very fine paste if used correctly.

Good luck and have fun.

(EDIT)
Note that this does not work with ALL power skulls, some such as gene and ghoul have rather terrible swap ins, and while warrior does GREATLY benefit from a swap based run (his swap in makes you charge quicker) you should probably be basing his builds around demolition.

That's a really cool idea, gonna try this out. Thanks for sharing.

The technique works best with the following skulls:
*Minotaurus
*Shield
*Samurai (works even though it's not a Power Skull)
*Gene (they fixed it's swap in)
*Berzerker (don't evolve it to legendary though)
*Ent
*Predator (don't use Sage's Time since it's cooldowns are too fast)
