Do not underestimate the Clown skull

[WillSP]

I have seen many people put the clown skull relatively low on tier lists and I just want to share some information that may change your collective minds on what might be one of the best skulls in the game.

Each of the individual daggers Clown tosses can activate Madness, Black steel Daggers, Gunpowder Sword, Thief Armour's critical hit ninja stars and even Jagamon thorn. In the time it takes for a normal skull to activate these items once, Joker activates them up to 3 times.

Petty Thief's coins cannot activate Madness or Jagamon Thorn but Clown can, and not only that he but does it reliably and from a safe distance.

Clown just seems like a higher dmg burst competitor to Mummy, the only thing i don't understand is why Clowns 3rd mark stack explosion does Magical dmg instead of Physical since the entire character is Physical Dmg oriented.

It honestly doesn't matter that much. All your items should be going into critical hits and extra true damage instead of boosting one particular damage type. (but if you want there is still master brawler and fighter)

Believe me playing like this practically guarantees a god run. I got my no hit saint boss achievement BY ACCIDENT.

things that reset skill cooldowns are also pretty bonkers on the clown, i stayed in the air for a solid 30 seconds during a boss fight using the dagger rain ability repeatedly
