Basic Information

• Upon aggro most Skeletons will not instantly attack. They will just run around for a bit, similar to how a Goblin aggros.
• Their aggroing can be a bit unstable. If you attract someone else's Skeleton, they run towards you, but will later turn back to their original target. If several players does this, it will cause confusion upon players about who is aggroing who.
  • This usually happens when a player saves someone from multi-aggro due to recklessness, so it is advised to wait for the Skeletons to move first before attacking one right away. Example: Right after a player kills a Skeleton, that player attacks another Skeleton immediately, but another Skeleton already aggroed that player. Another player sees this and saves that player by attracting one of them. That Skeleton runs towards the savior. The fight goes on for awhile, then suddenly the Skeletons decides to switch aggro to their original targets. The confusion worsens if one of the players manages to kill a Skeleton before they switch aggroes, causing multi-aggro later.
• When knocked down, all Skeletons will remain stationary unless they are Smashing, in which case they will run toward you.
  • When they are finished standing still (or their skill), they will just run around again.
    • You may attack them right after they start running. However, it's a rare occasion they might just retaliate.
• Defense is not recommended on most unless your Defense rank is high and you are equipped with a Kite Shield or better.
• Magic Counter is relatively good against skeletons without passive defenses at lower levels.
• Skeletons usually stand still while in Defense, making it hard to tell apart from Counterattack.
  • If they do walk, they will only walk while loading Defense, and stand still when it's fully loaded.
• Icebolt-Counter works best on all Skeletons.
  • Skeletons with archery may switch to it when being hit with Icebolt. Hitting them with Icebolt again will make them run towards you with melee.
    • Firebolt-Counter is also effective against Skeletons who aren't red. This is because red skeletons have the fire element.

Specific Information

• Armored Skeleton
  • When an Armored Skeleton aggros, they usually attack the player without any delay.
    • They may sometimes pause before attacking.
  • Armored Skeletons have Heavy Stander making it inadvisable to normal attack it.
• Fomor Scrolls
  • Full Armored, Heavy Armored, and Light Armored Skeletons have higher fomor drop rate than Normal ones.
    • Skeleton Squads has "Intuition." You cannot smash them without stunning them beforehand.

Notes & Advice Notes Will sometimes stand still when using Defense. Like all skeletons, it will only do this when it is in its circling range, otherwise they WILL walk towards you but they will never circle you in defense. Can Smash for 200+ damage. Advice Windmill spamming is a good idea when dealing with any skeletons without any armor. Another good idea is Range attacks, since they almost always run from the player. Yet again, another idea is normal melee skill except when they are standing still, as they will very rarely (almost never) retaliate and attack first Will multi aggro with normal Pirate Skeletons in Rundal Normal.

Notes & Advice Notes Rare spawn near the end of Math Normal. Usually spawns after red spiders spawn in the first wave, and bats in the second. Often spawns in a group of three. Also, it's size makes it seem like it can hit across the room, so be careful if it's running at you. Advice Don't be fooled by its intimidating size. It is actually the weakest skeleton out of all (and vise versa with the Mini Skeletons). Usually uses Smash after being knocked down. They all possess the same AI as non-armored Skeletons. Beat them the way you would to a regular one.

Notes & Advice Notes Has a larger Windmill radius than a player with rank 5 Windmill. Like the Red Skeleton, it will not move while using ranged attack, so it is best to run out of range. Can Smash for over 200 damage. Has advanced AI and may use 1+Counter. Advice Maintain your distance so you don't get hit by its Windmill. Icebolt-Counter and Firebolt-Counter works best against these because they are lightning. If in a team, stay away from active skeletons, or prevent from sending them towards your allies, as these skeletons tends to use Windmill a lot.

Notes & Advice Notes Immediately self-destructs when its HP is reduced to 0 or less, with no animation or delay. The explosion radius is about the same as the range of a magic bolt, causing light damage to anyone and anything caught in the blast. Indistinguishable in appearance from the stronger variety. Aggro range much larger than the (Strong Explosion) Skeleton Squads. This can be used to distinguish the two. Players who meet Skeleton Squad (Weak Explosion) at close-range with a dungeon door in between can still be damaged by Self-Destruct, so don't assume dungeon doors will always shield you. This monster explodes, resulting in 5-10 damage Advice Use of Ice Spear is highly recommended. It's best to finish them off with a ranged attack to be safe from any explosions.

Notes & Advice Notes Immediately self-destructs when its HP is reduced to 0 or less, with no animation or delay. The explosion radius is about the same as the range of a magic bolt, causing severe damage to anyone and anything caught in the blast. Indistinguishable in appearance from the weaker variety. Players who meet Skeleton Squad (Strong Explosion) at close-range with a dungeon door in between can still be damaged by Self-Destruct, so don't assume dungeon doors will always shield you. This monster explodes, resulting in 150-300 damage Advice Use of Ice Spear is highly recommended. It's best to finish them off with a ranged attack to be safe from any explosions.

Notes & Advice Notes Summoned when Esras has aggroed, and will be resummoned if any are killed. Up to 5 can be summoned. You can kill them for extra EXP that was lost from Tabhartas. 400 per kill is a lot for a Skeleton this weak. They don't have much HP so they can be defeated easily. Advice If possible, ignore these by staying out of their aggro range as replacements will be summoned whenever Esras is attacked. Final Hit or Windmill is strongly recommended, when in no other option but to fight. Because of their low HP, usually 1 Smash or 1 Full Combo can kill these.

Notes & Advice Notes Basically a Dark Skeleton with stronger statistics. Lightning element damage against them is reduced by over 40% even on Basic difficulty. Slightly weaker against ice element than fire element. Advice Avoid using normal melee attacks as Heavy Stander may activate. Due to its high attack power, Counterattack is extremely effective. Ranged-based attacks also work well.
