The Skeleton Army card is unlocked from the Bone Pit (Arena 2). It spawns 15 single-target, melee Skeletons with very low hitpoints and low damage, with an overall extremely high damage per second. A Skeleton Army card costs 3 Elixir to deploy. Strategy • Due to their high numbers and overall very high DPS, the Skeleton Army is very effective against single target enemy troops and building targeting troops such as the P.E.K.K.A., Prince or Giant. • Another benefit is the Skeleton Army's low cost of 3 Elixir, making it a very versatile card that can give the player an Elixir advantage in almost any case. • Although they have low health individually, their sheer numbers allow for them to be effective at blocking most troops and siege buildings. This can even work for air troops, such as the Inferno Dragon due to the fact that the Skeleton Army can stall and pull the Inferno Dragon away from the tower, giving the tower a chance to destroy the Inferno Dragon. • While being powerful in numbers, they are very weak against splash damage and spells; most area damage units will be able to take out the whole swarm without losing health. Low cost spells are also effective at taking the swarm out efficiently. • Despite their area damage weakness, the Skeleton Army is capable of countering directional area damage troops like a Wizard or Bomber. For this to work, the Skeleton Army must be placed directly on top of the unit, surrounding it and overwhelming their area damage before the swarm is defeated. The player must also have the assistance of a Crown Tower to damage down the troop, as otherwise there is a chance the Skeletons could clump up in such a way that the troop could eliminate them all before being defeated. • The Skeleton Army can bait the opponent into using their area damage spell, allowing the player to use other high DPS swarms such as Goblin Gang safely. However, unlike the Goblin Gang, the Skeleton Army can be fully countered by a wider range of spells. As such, they may not the most effective at baiting out the desired spell, such as The Log, if they have more than one. • Other swarm troops such as Barbarians and Minion Horde may be more favorable as a substitute, as they have higher hitpoints compared to the Skeleton Army. However, they also have a heavier Elixir cost, which does make them more committal but also makes them more enticing for the opponent to use a higher cost spell like Fireball on them, allowing other spell-vulnerable cards in the player's deck to thrive. • Poison and Fireball are a negative Elixir trade but do counter the Skeleton Army effectively. • The Barbarian Barrel can not only counter the Skeleton Army for a positive Elixir trade but also force out a response from the opponent. If the barrel is played right at the river, the Barbarian that spawns will get two hits on the tower left unattended, allowing for valuable chip damage. • The Skeleton Army is not recommended to be used offensively, as they can be easily wiped out with spells such as Arrows. However, if the opponent's cheap spell is out of rotation, this play may force non-efficient counters out of their hand, as if the Skeleton Army manages to lock on to a Crown Tower, they will deal extremely high damage to or even destroy it. • Their high count allows them to be played in the center or behind the player's King's Tower to cover both lanes. This often entirely deters the opponent from immediately attacking, as they will only be able to spell down half of the swarm with one push. • Using a Rage on the Skeleton Army makes it a huge threat since they already move quite fast and deal high damage per second. Mirroring or Cloning the Skeleton Army gives a huge numbers advantage. However, trying either of these strategies is very risky, as a splash unit or a spell can wipe it out for a positive Elixir trade. In double Elixir, the impact of failing this strategy is reduced because of the faster Elixir generation rate. • An Ice Golem is able to eliminate the entire Skeleton Army with its death damage when equally leveled for a positive Elixir trade.
@@baileydwyer453 This video was like 30 Minutes lmao I’m pretty sure there’s more Medium Demons than there are Nine Circles Levels… also I doubt it would take Eric that long (i think-)
great vid eric!you really got me into gd with your vids and I love how comedic you are! I liked this video, but I think you coulda cut it into two vids; a part 1 and 2!
Also about the orb thing where if you beat a level before 2.1 so you don't have the orbs. For some people it won't happen because you have to turn something on in settings called 'New Completed Filter'
Being new to GD, this was simultaneously hilarious & downright frustrating! 🥴No sooner would a fabulous-looking level or some pumping track start than Eric would immediately crash out... only a few minutes in & I had already caught myself wincing every time he said _"oh this is a really cool level!"_ Top quality entertainment 👍
I can't wait to see the ,,every easy demon, I've completed''. I reallly like this series. I didn't check this channel for about 2 days and now there's a video uploaded 2 mins ago. I didn't expect for him to upload at this time. p
Question: i dont have the demon button in the left corner in 0:13 and the challenge/demon list thing at 0:14 is this because im on mobile? I have an account
The 12 dēmons of Christmas once gave to me : 5 broken wrists 7 broken monitors 19 broken keyboards 0 hours of sleep sleep depresvation depression and anger issues
I found a way to upload impossible levels without hack. Just follow a how to make a 2.2 level.. Then, you make a wall with an orb in front that makes you go the opposite way. Make a ramp that makes you go higher than the wall. Put a orb at the end of the ramp that makes you go the opposite way and a path to get over the wall. After that you verify in gd world, then save in gd world and load in normal gd. Go to created levels and upload right away (don’t look at the level in editor).
I just realized, back in the day, you had to memorize levels, because that was the "difficult stuff", now you still have to memorize levels, because theyre overdecorated and you cant read them anyway
yay a eric vid i was waiting for this! and also lava temple was derated kinda to a medium demon. i love your vids, they make me verry happy when i see one. thanks for another 1 attempt on every (insert difficulty here) that ive completed. !
I remember beating starquake a couple of months ago and it was easy demon back then lol, didn't feel like a medium demon but there were some really annoying parts
How about doing a "two" attempt challenge now? You've said in your previous one attempt videos that- "It's like- I always go way farther in the second attempt". So how about doing it now? Sounds fun ngl-

O
The fact that he had to explain why he was getting orbs on levels he already beat made me feel so old XD
same lol
Just don't forget that 2.1 is closer to 1.0 than today
@@rkpyi8616 WHAT
But it's so wrong. There were orbs in 2.0 if I remember correctly. 1.9 they weren't tho
@@svenh8754 you must be tripping or something, look it up
4:12 You know he’s a good RUclipsr when he continues something he was saying after getting distracted by something else.
So true lol
I only completed one medium demon called Once Forgotten, due to an unfixed secret way at 52%.
is it still there?
@@swagman4 Yup, jump in between the spikes in the floor after a short wave section.

you should try Nyoom. It is my first and only medium

There should be a Challenge that’s just straight up just “1 Attempting every Nine Circles Level until I get to a Wave Section” 😂

Yea he’s screwed
The video would be too long, he'd have to stream it

This is gonna take while, i love watching this series so far, keep going to till Easy demon 😉
I would love to see all easy demons eric has completed
Merg was a great guy.

Can't wait for the video where Eric plays all the easy demons he has completed.
I gotta say, the edits were perfect xd
Definitely made good progress in this video. Can wait for the Easy Demons. 🙂
The amount of instant karma in this video is insane.
we all know the 4hour 1 attempt easy demon video is coming out soon
8:10 me thinking to myself "this gameplay feels kinda wonky" and Erik says it right after
I can’t believe how long Eric has played GD
8:38 "so long and hard" eric????????
if and when he makes an easy demon version you know it’s gonna be over 40 minutes long
3:18 this level gives me a heart attack
This has actually given me alot of ideas for fun medium demons. Cheers!
Eric needs to do a "1 Attempt On Every EXTREME DEMON I've Completed" video! We are waiting for that Eric
he already did it
he already did
Oh what. Damn it I thought he didnt made it. Imma go watch it after this video
He did it
@@2PBOO okay
love your videos evw hope you make more in the future!
"I love this level it's so goo-" **dies**

evw: "just listen to the song"
*proceeds to sing and not let us hear the song*

Yess! I have been waiting for this video ever since he said he would do it in his hard demon video!
Eric on literally every level: I remember this being really fun
Also about the orb thing where if you beat a level before 2.1 so you don't have the orbs. For some people it won't happen because you have to turn something on in settings called 'New Completed Filter'

eric s editor is the best secondary character i have seen.
Eric makes us smile on a bad day
18:59 Why is this making me laugh so hard xD?
I love how eric keeps saying he enjoys this or that level then dies immediately
You should absolutely play a medium demon called collapse its amazing and has one of my favourite songs in the game
1:33 music reminded me of the yata verification video
Me: Well he can't throw mastergame
Eric: Throws mastergame
how did you get the song for theory of skrilex? i really wanna do the level but no music is really annoying.
I’ve been enjoying this series so much
Legends finishing this video
Can you please do EVW impossible levels again, I love them, keep up the amazing content!

I remember beating starquake a couple of months ago and it was easy demon back then lol, didn't feel like a medium demon but there were some really annoying parts
it was hard for me, but I also fluked it from 61
Evw do you think that you could make a vide about how to get better at this gem because just started and I would like some tips!
Actually The Colossus II was easy demon while the first part was medium demon. Insane boss fight btw
How about doing a "two" attempt challenge now?
You've said in your previous one attempt videos that-
"It's like- I always go way farther in the second attempt".
So how about doing it now? Sounds fun ngl-
Yessssssssssssss part 3 of one attempt of every demon first vid was extreme and insane second vid was hard and third vid is now meduim
3:30 EVW out of context
6:26 😳😳
You should do a video like this but you give each level 2 attempts, so that you have a shot at the ones where you die like right at the start.
Try the level essence access it’s an insane level and it’s one of my favorites i made a vid on it
Next do one attempt on every extreme demon you HAVEN'T completed
well i think that would be like over 2 hours because there are 400-500 extreme demons and he has only complated 14
He did that

eric, can you beat the level "save as"? it's a pretty creepy level by pahc and basically every few second into the level becomes more glitched
Eric in 2035: 1 attempt easy levels
Seriously I love your edits
2:43 actually, you hold there, I know because I've beaten reanimation recently
You should play infinite chase one of the best levels in the game
Epic vid as always Eric :D
Also starquake became medium? It was easy like a week ago
Wait really
I hope you continue this thing and get to 1 attempt at all auto levels oh scary
Really can't wait for "1 Attempt On EVERY AUTO Level I've Completed"

This is so long, and hard-EVW 2022 at 8:38.
PS: ik he says level in between the sentence but typing this out of context is the funni.
