“Splits to create a new Skeleton Dragon after every few attacks”
The Skeleton Dragon is a card that belongs in the 
Undead and 
Ranger traits. It spawns a single-target ranged troop with low hitpoints, low damage, and high attack speed. Every few attacks, the Skeleton Dragon creates a clone of himself with the same hitpoints and damage. His clones also have that ability, meaning that they can also generate clones of themselves with the same hitpoints and damage. The Skeleton Dragon loses 30% of his hitpoints when he clones himself. The Skeleton Dragon takes the appearance of a smaller, skeletal version of the Baby Dragon with brown wings, horns, and back spikes. The cloned Skeleton Dragon has a color palette similar to that of a troop created by Clone. A Skeleton Dragon card costs 2 
to deploy.
Strategy[]
- Supporting Skeleton Dragon with tanky troops is very important, as he's a very fragile unit that can be easily defeated. However, when properly supported, he'll be able to create a lot of clones, drastically increasing the player's damage per second.
- Another way of supporting him is by utilizing troops that have stun attacks, like Electro Giant, Electro Wizard, Mega Knight, and Bandit, which give him more time to clone himself before enemies target him. Musketeer in particular also knocks enemy troops back alongside a stun attack, making her very useful to give Skeleton Dragon more value.
- Since the Skeleton Dragon clones himself close to each other, ranged cards that deal splash damage, like Wizard, Baby Dragon, Executioner, and Princess, will defeat all clones very quickly, especially because the cloned unit spawns with 70% HP, due to the cloner losing 30% HP per clone.
Assassin troops will also quickly defeat Skeleton Dragon before he can overwhelm the player with his clones, since they jump directly into the backline.
- Skeleton Dragon's Ranger trait allows him to attack faster, which means that he'll take less time to clone himself. The clones he generates also get the attack speed boost from the trait, permitting them to quickly and constantly overwhelm enemies.
- Skeleton Dragon's Undead trait reduces the HP of enemies by a certain amount. If he or any of his clones defeat a cursed troop, then they'll deal increased damage, further reducing the chances of the enemy winning.
