What Do Skeletons Do?
Skeletons deploys 3 ground-only melee units for just 1 Elixir, making it the cheapest card in the game. Each unit has very low hitpoints and low damage, but the low cost means they're always available even when Elixir is tight.
Their fragility means they're not meant to trade evenly - their value comes from cheap chip damage, distraction, or quick defensive pokes rather than sustained fighting.
Where Skeletons Fit
They're a classic cycle card, used to quickly get back to a key card in the deck, as well as a cheap distraction to briefly pull a single-target troop off course.
