Skeletons

"Four fast, very weak melee fighters. Swarm your enemies with this pile of bones!"

Summary

 * This card is unlockable from the Bone Pit (Arena 2).
 * The Skeletons card summons a pack of four Skeletons that can help you against high damage troops with a slow hitspeed, such as P.E.K.K.A.s, Mini P.E.K.K.A.s and Giants.

Strategy

 * Skeletons are most effectively used to distract and/or swarm high hitpoint units, such as Giants, and the Prince.
 * Can be used to deal damage to enemy troops when they are distracted by the player's higher hitpoint cards, such as Giants.
 * If your Arena Towers are under attack by low hitpoint, non-area damage dealing, ground troops, the Skeletons can be used to distract the opposing troops and dealing damage to them.
 * Skeletons are easily eliminated by an opposing Arena Tower, so it is recommended to use the card for defense & distracting opposing troops.

Trivia

 * A Balance Update, coming on 19/2/16, will increase their hitpoints and damage by 11%.
 * The Skeletons spawned by the Skeletons card are identical to those spawned with the Skeleton Army and the Witch.
 * It is the only card in the game that costs only one Elixir.
 * This would mean that the Skeleton card is the cheapest card in the game.
 * There are many variations of Skeletons: Bombers, the Bomb Tower (a defensive Building defended by a bomb-throwing Skeleton), the Skeleton Army, the Balloon, which is a skeleton in a balloon, and the Giant Skeleton.
