Argent Skull
An ammunition-based explosive: you lob skulls and must recover them. Special is a charging dash that scoops spent ammo back up.
Move set
| Move | Base damage | Magick | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Lob Attack | 50 | — | Throws an Argent Skull from a pool of three; it detonates violently on landing. |
Omega Attack Omega | 150 | 15 | Charges and hurls an oversized skull that detonates for a huge blast. |
Colossus Dash Special | 25 | — | Becomes a streak of silver that pierces enemies and collects every skull on the path. |
How it plays
The Argent Skull is defined by its ammo loop. You carry three skulls; they detonate where they land, and you pick them back up by dashing through them. Runs with this weapon are a rhythm of throw, dash, throw.
Because each skull is a discrete explosion rather than a continuous stream, boons that scale with a single large hit — rather than many small ones — perform unusually well here.

Aspect of Melinoë
Raises base Attack damage and increases how many skulls you can carry. Fewer dry stretches where you have no ammo to throw.
Aspect of Medea
Attack no longer throws skulls — it loads them into Melinoë herself. Dashing into an enemy then detonates every loaded skull at once. This transforms the weapon from a ranged lobber into a melee burst tool, and it is one of the highest damage ceilings in the game.
Aspect of Persephone
Damage dealt fills a Glory gauge. Once full, your Omega Special gains brief invulnerability and a large damage bonus. Rewards building into one enormous hit rather than steady output.
