We studied the energy dependence of the 2D skew scattering from strong potential, for which the Born approximation is not applicable. Since the skew scattering cross section is zero both at low and at high energies, it exhibits a maximum as a function of energy of incident electron. We found analytically the shape of the maximum for an exactly solvable model of circular-barrier potential. Within a rescaling factor, this shape is universal for strong potentials. If the repulsive potential has an attractive core, the discrete levels of the core become quasilocal due to degeneracy with continuum. For energy of incident electron close to the quasilocal state with zero angular momentum, the enhancement of the net cross section is accompanied by resonant enhancement of the skew scattering. By contrast, near the resonance with quasilocal states having momenta $\pm 1$, the skew scattering cross section is an odd function of energy deviation from the resonance, and passes through zero, i.e., it exhibits a sign reversal. In the latter case, in the presence of the Fermi sea, the Kondo resonance manifests itself in strong temperature dependence of the skew scattering.
