So, I’m a mid-200’s Player who’s been using and upgrading Creeping Death like clockwork over the weeks, and soon I’m going to unlock the Dying ability which adds “Create a Skull” to the spell. My question: Do I get to choose where the skull goes or is it random, and if random, is it worth it?

It seems like creating a single random skull would be more likely to set up my opponent to get a skull match on their next turn than to cause a match outright as part of casting the spell. Then again, choosing where the skull goes could also be incredibly powerful…

its random, so it is not a good skill.

Does this mean it would be better to just stop leveling the weapon than to get Dying?

Yes (in my opinion, at least). This is something many people have a problem with, atm (with a whole bunch of weapons, not just this one).
