The title runs in landscape orientation inside your web browser on desktop and mobile screens without any required download or setup.

Army upgrades and damage mechanics
Combat in Clash of Skulls revolves around fielding balanced unit types while progressively strengthening your forces. Frontline fighters armed with blades and spears engage approaching opponents directly, creating space for scythe wielders and explosive specialists to inflict heavy damage. Battering rams focus on breaking defensive structures rather than dueling ground troops, making them vulnerable without a protective escort. Leveling up your army directly boosts the damage each skeletal class delivers, enabling your units to overpower tougher defensive formations and push through fortified positions.
Tips and strategy
- Counter incoming weapons: Observe what weapons approaching enemies carry so you can dispatch durable blade or spear fighters to absorb the initial strike.
- Protect siege units: Always send melee infantry ahead of battering rams because unescorted siege units fall quickly to hostile ground troops.
- Support frontline clashes: Deploy scythe and explosive units just behind your primary skirmishers to deal burst damage while staying safe from melee retaliation.
- Prioritize damage upgrades: Boost army levels whenever possible since increased damage helps eliminate enemy waves before they reach your outpost.
- Avoid premature deployments: Hold back your troops until you see the composition of the enemy attack to avoid wasting resources on mismatched counters.
