Elder Skarg

Last Updated: June 4, 2025

Elder Skarg Overview

Elder Skarg is an conditional Spider and Sorath specialist. His AoE HP Burn + True Fear controls and melts Spiderlings, making Spider one of his best areas. He also shines against Sorath, waves & in Doom Tower thanks to his HP Burn, but needs either a Force Spiderling tank or a tanky build to survive.

Elder Skarg is a Force affinity Legendary from the Barbarian faction who received significant buffs in September 2020, elevating him into one of the best Spider specialists. His ability to place AoE HP Burn alongside True Fear allows him to damage and control the Spiderlings at the same time, making this one of the most effective strategies for tackling one of Raid’s most challenging dungeon.

When using Elder Skarg for this role, it’s important to either bring another Force affinity champion with lower HP to act as the Spiderling tank, or build Elder Skarg tanky enough to absorb the incoming damage himself. Beyond Spider, he is also an excellent option for Sorath in the Doom Tower, where an active HP Burn is required to defeat the boss.
