Skeleton Warriors can be summoned forth by Necromancers to fight for the Scourge. While not the sturdiest of fighters, they are tenacious melee attackers.

Information

Skeletons last 40 seconds without Skeletal Longevity. Make sure you research Skeletal Longevity to gain an additional 15 seconds, making Skeleton Warriors last as much as 55 seconds.

You can build Graveyards, which produce corpses, and place Necromancers around them. When you are being attacked you can use the Necromancers to raise the Corpses to provide Skeleton Warriors to defend the town.

You can use the Meat Wagon to pick up corpses and carry them into battle. Unload the Corpses, then use Necromancers to raise them into Skeleton Warriors.

There is a maximum limit of 25 Skeleton Warriors that can be summoned by a player.

Be sure to research melee and armor upgrades to make the Skeleton Warriors more effective.

Skeleton Counters

Use spells such as Dispel Magic, Abolish Magic, Purge, and Detonate to cause severe damage to Skeletons since they are summoned units.

Run away from the Skeletons, the timer will run out and they will die.

Manual of Monsters

In Manual of Monsters Appendix Three the Skeleton Warriors are mentioned, however the validity of the source is disputed.
