Healers are damn op
They become quite hard if ya don't have a good setup. To the point, where it is easier to kill the rest off first.

Anyone has any good tips/tricks, that's more or less works with any skull?

EDIT: Because people seem to be misunderstanding -- "Are there any good builds, that work with more-or-less any builds?", is the question.

Are you referring to the healers on the 2nd stage? What about them are you finding difficult?

I club 'em first thing then move onto the rest. If I'm running a speedy thief build, backstab will warp and instant-kill them if they pop up in a room.

Nah. I mean the heroes. The casual peeps pose no problem. It seems no matter how much I hit that damn bastard, she never takes any significant damage, even when it's a lucky run with items to build damage.

its funny I feel like the natural progression of complaining about things in this game is

the healer is OP>the sisters are OP>chimera is OP>general chapter 4 is OP and then you beat the game and then>physical skulls are less powerful than magical skulls. im still stuck on the last one not sure whats past that one.

I've never, from day 1, had a problem with her. I'll try and offer advice anyways. So once again my strategy holds true:
Club the ♥♥♥♥ out of her before ANYONE else. Otherwise you are wasting time since she will heal everyone else. The only time you have to be wary of the group is when the ninja is around since he can teleport into you if your tunnel vision is on the healer.

No amount of RNG items should be an issue, I've cleared them many times with plain Skul runs. Practice.

I don't give a damn about bosses nor chapters. That's the central challenge of the game. The hero-healer is simply a pain in the ass and a time-gate. Might as well make the others do more damage.

Well, back to the start, ain't we. The damage dealt to the healer is low due to the constant self-healing. Therefore, the question is more setup based.

Might as well say "just kill people".

you get right answers about how to beat healer, but instead of be thankful you start insulting. in this case just uninstall and go cry in the corner. this game is not for you.

How many of these are setup related, or actually strategies alternating from given? You think I don't know how to prioritize, who to kill first, like oh, the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game?
And if that's insulting to you, grow some skin.

Focusing the healer is the only strategy. If you can't do that, then play another game.

Can disagree. Damage can be boosted in plenty of ways, not to mention debuffs.
And if you can't understand that, how about choose another thread to comment.

I have no problems dealing with the healer. You are the one who can't.

And I'm just saying they can heal a lot, and if anyone has interesting setups. Never asked you to bother commenting.
PS. I never said I can't. I just said they are pain in the ass.

Yes, cry more about how hard the game is. And ignore suggestions.
