Skeletons

What it looks like

The Skeletons is a Common card that is unlocked from the Bone Pit (Arena 2). It spawns three fast, single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troops with very low hitpoints and very low damage. Their deployment is in a triangle formation. They appear as small undead creatures with a skull that lacks a lower jaw and has a scar on the left eye and wield short swords. They are also the same as those spawned by the Witch, Tombstone, Skeleton Barrel, Skeleton Army, Graveyard, and the Super Witch. A Skeletons card costs 1 Elixir to deploy.
