Despite the overall simplicity of the Skeleton King's skills, he is one
of the most dangerous close combat heroes to fight against, and he
becomes extremely powerful when equipped with good items. Hellfire
Blast is his one active spell, and it allows him to catch and kill enemies.
Vampiric Aura and Critical Strike make him deadly in a straight fight;
the Skeleton King hits hard and gains life with every attack. Even if
Leoric seems to be destroyed, he is still not beaten. This is where his
signature ability comes in: Reincarnation. As long as Reincarnation is
ready and the Skeleton King has enough mana, he will revive where he
fell after a few seconds at full strength. Reincarnation makes the Skeleton
King very difficult to defeat, since you essentially have to kill him twice.

Skeleton King Background Story
Once a noble knight protecting his kingdom, the man was thrown into
Hell, where he was ripped apart over and over for centuries. Now, Lucifer
has thrown him back onto the soil, corrupted and mindless, as King Leoric,
the Skeleton King. He marches on, leading his minions with an unfaltering
gaze, knowing only one thing: the orders given to him by the dark lord himself.
Able to cripple his opponents by drawing power from the fiery depths of hell
itself, King Leoric is a major threat on the battlefield. His mighty blade allows
him and others in his presence to drain the blood of their enemies. It is said
that he is unkillable, and those who are struck down by his hellfire don't wake
up again.
