In this Clash Royale Skeleton Army guide, we reveal the pros and cons of this tank destroyer. You'll also learn how to play the card with our tips and tricks, as well as the best deck to put it in to win trophies and climb the leaderboard.

Skeleton Army strengths and weaknesses

Clash Royale Skeleton Army card is available from Training Camp. This is one of the first epic maps you unlock. It costs 3 units of Elixir and deploys a horde of 15 skeletons.

The Skeleton Army moves quickly and attacks only ground units within a range of 0.8 squares. Their attacks deal low damage every second, but can be devastating when multiplied by the number of units. However, each skeleton has a paltry amount of hit points.

Its greatest strength is its large number of units, which allows it to inflict a lot of damage very quickly. On the other hand, its weakness is the low resistance of the skeletons, since a simple spell is enough to eliminate them.

How to play Clash Royale with the Skeleton Army?

During your attack phases in Clash Royale, the Skeleton Army is to be used in support of a tank. Ideally, make sure your opponent has no more spells in hand. To do this, force him to use them by placing other units such as Minions or Goblins.

But it is on defense that this card allows you to take advantage of Elixir. The Skeleton Army will be your best ally against tanks like the Giant or Golems. If sent alone, the P.E.K.K.A, which costs 7 units of Elixir, will not have time to reach your turn against a Skeleton Army, which costs only 3 units of Elixir.

While Skeleton Army can be formidable, it is a very easy card to counter. If your opponent plays it, use a spell such as Zap, Arrows or Log. Units that do area damage, such as Wizard, Princess, or Baby Dragon, are also excellent answers.

The best Clash Royale Skeleton Army deck

The best Clash Royale Skeleton Army deck doesn't cost much in Elixir. So you'll have to play fast to cycle your cards. You have a single tank, the Skeleton King, who is responsible for standing alone at the front while the other units deal damage.

To carry out your attacks, you have several units at your disposal, such as the Skeleton Army and the Spear Goblins as ground units, but also the Minion Horde and the Bats to attack from the air. All of these units benefit the Skeleton King, as his ability summons a number of skeletons that increase with the number of deaths while he is on the field.

To support your attack and inflict damage on enemy towers, use your Skeleton Barrel, which will drop 8 skeletons at the foot of them. Finally, you can use the Mortar building and the Fireball spell to attack and defend depending on your opponent's reactions.

That's it for this Clash Royale Skeleton Army guide. You now have all the cards you need to play this card and the best deck to put together. For more decks and card guides, I'll direct you to our Clash Royale tips page.
