How to use skeleton traps

No stars for you!

Since the Halloween update I've noticed a problem. Little skeletons popping up all over the place and ruining my perfect attacks! It's like SuperCell decided that attacking wasn't hard enough and decided to give everyone an extra witch on defense.

There is nothing more frustrating to have two pekkas about to swing at the town hall suddenly race off to swing at skeletons (costing you the attack). However a lot of people don't use these warriors to their fullest potential.



All too often I've run into bases where skeleton traps are placed on the outside of walls. You are doing it wrong! The best these little guys can hope for outside the safety of the walls is a couple swings into a meat shield before being annihilated by wizards.

I say good chap would you mind placing us inside the base?

Skeleton traps are ideal clustered around around a high value target (think TH or Inferno towers). For a few reasons. First skeletons are less likely to cluster around just one target, which means no more getting one shot by wizards. Second any attack on the skeletons is an attack not hitting your TH/Inferno/etc.. which gives your defenses the extra couple second they need to take down the attackers!

So move your skeleton traps inside your base!
