Skeleton trap is useless and weak

[budawpi]

Yesterday during war, I attacked with GOWIPE. Towards the end, my PEKKA was all alone in the core (I messed up and some other troops went around the outside). A skeleton trap went off, OH NO! 2 Skeletons popped out to my dismay. And it took 2.5 seconds each to kill them undead horrors.

5 seconds of PEKKA being like "LUL WUT, BONEZ?!" didn't make or break my attack, but it was 5 seconds that could have been used to attack something with more merit.

Skeleton traps are useful.

it's just a trap/distraction, what did you expect them to do? take down giants?

Hes right. They are just a trap, not a defense

[DarkHero]

Its just a distraction...

[Gobaints]

Its good vs gaint-healer strategy?

Not getting the point. They're too expensive. L2 600k for 3 skeletons ..L1 should be 5 L2 10 L3 15. No point in upgrading them unless you have too much gold or everything else is maxed. Waste of gold

Skeleton trap is weak and expensive; skeletons are killed very fast; maybe they can be usefull against hog rider attack

So, you put them near your exposed TH and expect from them to deal with royals on their own?? The traps are not foolproof to that degree.

if you know where to place them they can become a pain in the butt.

Last war one of my mates did gowipe and when he put jump spell all his troops went into core from south then some wizards and witches are coming towards core from south east and triggers skele trap.. all from no were his 3 pekkas use jump spell going out from core. That proved me that they can be a crazy nice distraction. When his pekkas went back into core there was only 1 pekka left. 2 skeles took down 2 pekkas out from the core. Just learn how your defenses work and u can make splended defenses

The skelotan traps are grat for distracting the apponats really good

Trap on Outside= Waste of Gold
Trap on Well-Placed Inside= Evil Laughs from Defender
