Drops

Old One's Skeleton drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Undead foot soldiers summoned by etherian dark mages

Old One's Skeletons are summoned in swarms by Dark Mages during the Old One's Army event. Rising from the ground with 480 life and 22 defense, these reanimated bones march toward the Eternia Crystal in tight ranks. Their crude skeletal strikes deal 70 base contact damage, acting primarily as disposable frontline shields to protect elite etherian forces behind them.

Shattering skeletal waves with piercing lane defenses

Because Old One's Skeletons march in dense, closely grouped columns, piercing defenses and area traps quickly eliminate them. Explosive Trap sentries, Flameburst towers, and piercing arrows like Jester's Arrows pierce through entire squads in single shots. In Master mode, their health rises to 1,224 life and their contact hits deal 210 damage, making sustained lane saturation essential.

Trivia

  • Old One's Skeletons are conjured directly onto the field by Dark Mages during event waves.
  • They drop no coins upon defeat, serving purely as defensive screening units for the Etherian army.
