Skeleton Battle Strategy

Reduce their Numbers

When you encounter Skeletons, you will mostly see them in a small group of 3 to 5 Skeletons. It is highly recommended that you slowly reduce their numbers first since a small group of Skeletons can still kill an unprepared player.

Use Blunt Weapons

Skeletons are naturally weak to blunt weapons, so using weapons like the Stagbreaker, Bronze Mace, or even the Torch.
