3Skeleton Barrel
Clash Royale card guide
3 elixirCommonTroopSecondary pressureFlyingEvolution
Skeleton Barrel is a barrel that flies toward buildings and drops skeletons when it pops. It's cheap pressure and bait.
How to play
Send Skeleton Barrel behind a tank or with cards like Goblin Gang to pressure your opponent's small spell. When the barrel pops, the skeletons damage the tower. Mega Knight decks use it often as support.
Tips
- Once the barrel reaches the tower the skeletons deal fast damage; send it after your opponent uses their small spell.
- Sent behind Mega Knight, it overloads the defense.
- Arrows and Zap clear it easily.
Strengths
- Cheap; forces your opponent to spend a small spell.
- Ground defenses can't touch it while it flies.
Weaknesses
- Easily cleared by small spells.
- Limited tower damage on its own.
How to counter it
