What Does Giant Skeleton Do?
Giant Skeleton is a slow, ground-only troop that only targets buildings, much like Giant, but he carries a threatening death effect - when he's finally defeated, he drops a large bomb that deals heavy area damage to anything standing nearby.
That death bomb is large enough to wipe out troops that were sent in to finish him off, making careless overcommitment against him genuinely risky.
Where Giant Skeleton Fits
He functions as a heavy tank win condition similar in role to Giant, but the death bomb also gives him defensive value, since it can punish an opponent's push if he's placed to absorb an attack.
How to Counter Giant Skeleton
Ranged troops or spells that finish him off from a distance avoid the death bomb entirely, unlike melee troops standing directly next to him when he falls.
