Strategies

Whilst the original Skeleton was a reliable, easy-to-use card, the Steel Skeleton is actually really dependable.It's attacks lack range, but the Skeleton makes up for this by being very fast once it spots a target.In addition, its attacks have a chance of causing Petrifaction, gaining life from enemies upon hitting them or even Instant Death.

As a Monster

The Steel Skeleton, useful as it is, is one of the more fearsome regular enemies. Instant Death is a very rare status to carry and the king of the skeleton race carries the potential. It also has the power to occasionally Petrify enemies. Both of these prevent summoning allies so Katia must be quick to dispatch this foe.
