What Does Skeleton Barrel Do?
Skeleton Barrel is a flying troop that soars over the arena, similar to Goblin Barrel, before landing near its target. On landing, or if it's shot down along the way, it pops open and releases several Skeletons, which continue fighting as ground troops.
Because it travels through the air, ground troops can't intercept it directly - only anti-air troops or spells can stop it before it delivers its Skeletons.
Where Skeleton Barrel Fits
It's a chip-damage and bait card, often paired with other swarm cards to pressure an opponent into using their splash-damage spell early.
How to Counter Skeleton Barrel
Anti-air troops or spells can pop the barrel before it reaches its target, and splash damage clears the released Skeletons efficiently if it does land.
