Abilities
Unknown (Guess)
As a talking human skull, Morte is both Small and Undead, and counts as ‘dead’ for the purposes of effects that care about dead Champions, but ‘alive’ for all other purposes. In addition, Morte can be used in any Turn of Fortune’s Wheel campaign adventure or variant, even if he would not normally be available to be used due to variant or patron restrictions.

Give ‘em the Laugh (Guess)
Morte begins every area with stacks of Evasion equal to his overwhelm point. When Morte gets attacked (including “attacks” from the variant such as objects falling from the sky or cold/weather damage), as long as he has at least 1 stack of Evasion left, he dodges the attack completely and uses up stacks_to_use stack of Evasion. Morte restores 1 stack of Evasion every second for each Debuff Champion in the formation. The number of Evasion stacks he has can not surpass his overwhelm point. If a boss or enemies are enraged, max stacks are divided by the enrage multiplier, rounded down.

Adventures and Variants
Unlock Adventure: The Crypt of Legends (Morte) (Complete Area 50)
Pay respects to the heroes of olde during the Feast of the Moon.
Variant 1: Skittering Skulls (Complete Area 75)
Morte starts in the formation. He can be moved, but not removed.
You may only use Champions who qualify for one of Morte’s specialization choices (which is a pretty broad selection)
These are female, non-binary, undead, non-standard species, rogues, chaotic, or evil Champions.
1 Skullface Spider spawn with each wave. These enemies do not count toward quest progress or drop gold, and move 50% faster and deal 100% more damage.
An additional Skullface Spider spawns with each wave for every 100 areas completed.
Getting to Know Morte: Morte has a wide variety of Champions he specializes in working with. What can we say? He’s pretty friendly for a talking skull.
Variant 2: Cacophony of Curses (Complete Area 125)
Morte starts in the formation with Litany of Curses unlocked. He can be moved, but not removed.
Enemies without any debuffs on them only take 1 damage from all attacks.
A friend of Morte’s takes up a slot in the formation. Champions adjacent to the Flaming Skull are unnerved and have their base attack cooldown increased by 3 seconds.
Getting to Know Morte: Morte causes enemies he attacks to take more damage based on the number of debuffs they currently have. Fill your formation with Debuffing Champions to take advantage of this!
Variant 3: Dodge This, Deaders! (Complete Area 175)
Morte starts in the formation with Give ‘em the Laugh unlocked. He can be moved, but not removed.
You may only use a maximum of five Champions in your formation who do not have the Debuff role. If you have more than five, the damage of all Champions is set to 0.
All enemies move 300% faster and deal 40% of their target’s max health with each successful hit.
Getting to Know Morte: Morte can evade attacks entirely with his Give ‘em the Laugh ability. He recovers Evasion stacks faster for each Debuff Champion in the formation, but his max Evasion stacks are higher for each non-Debuff Champion.
