"Summon an army of Skeletons anywhere on the battlefield!
Put a few extra swords when and where you need them most. Skeletons do not trigger traps."

• Summary
  • The Skeleton Spell is a Dark Spell unlocked when the Dark Spell Factory is upgraded to level 4, which requires Town Hall level 9.
  • When used, it spawns several Skeletons on the battlefield. These Skeletons are very weak, but can provide a good distraction.
  • Like Skeletons summoned by Witches, they do not trigger traps or Clan Castle troops.

• Offensive Strategies
  • In Valkyrie raids, it’s pretty common to have at least 1 compartment at the end with defenses inside that could take down your troops. Once those defenses are distracted by your troops, drop your Skeleton Spell right on top of them.
  • In Balloon raids, if your Balloons usually clump up and your Lava Hounds don’t burst, it will take a lot of time to finish off non-defensive buildings. Dropping a skeleton spell or two will help you clean up the base.
  • In GoHo attacks, you can place a pack of Skeleton Traps following your Hog Riders. Dropping a single skeleton spell will help get rid of the skeletons chipping off at your Hog's health. Wait until your Hogs run into a Healing Spell, then drop your Skeleton Spell.
  • Skeleton spells could be very effective against single target Inferno Towers. The skeletons will be able to distract the Inferno Tower while other troops finish it off. However, multiple target Inferno Towers will negate this spell very quickly.
  • Another usage of skeleton spell could be in combination with the Poison Spell to kill off defensive clan castle troops which have low hit points, like Archers and Wizards. The Skeleton Spell should be used first to lure the defensive troops. When the troops engage with the summoned skeletons, the Poison Spell can be dropped on them. Depending on the base layout and spell level, troops could be lured out of defense range first for better result. Unfortunately, the skeleton spell and poison spell combination could not be effectively used against defensive troops that have higher hit points.
  • Skeleton spells can be used to destroy unguarded defenses with dead zones like the Mortar or Eagle Artillery. At 1 spell slot, this can be very valuable to any attacker.
  • When combined with the Clone Spell, you can double the skeletons to make the Skeleton spell's effect last longer.
  • You can use a Freeze Spell, and a few Skeleton spells to destroy key buildings like Inferno Towers or Wizard Towers.
