Very underdiscussed but super important aspect of Skeleton King is how his summons work. They're noticeably visually different, and that's because they're Clones. This means that they'll die in one hit. But it also means that Mother Witch produces Clone versions of Cursed Pigs from them, making her far less effective as a counter.
Which I absolutely love. If he’s only effective and used exclusively in bait decks, he shouldn’t be absolutely countered by mother witch along with his decks.
@J volk yeah she has slightly more dps and about the same health as the golden knight but also does splash damage. Compared to the skeleton king she has 300 less health but does 60 more damage with a .1 faster hit speed and splash damage all around her
I’ve had some experience with him in draft. He can actually handle them with his ability by tanking the skeletons they come up behind the wizard or mega knight and deal WORKKK
Thats what i love about it, its the mind games if youre gonna activate it or not. Thats why pressuring oppo is great, skelly king is still a threat on its own
@@rezwantahar3361 it seems you're confused by how the comment is worded, so I'll try to reworded to you: "if you press the champion's ability and your champion gets killed before your ability to properly activate (before the champion start his/her ability animation) you get your elixir you've spent back" Edit: I changed (your) to (you're)
I can confirm that this is unfortunately not true. The elixer is spent immediately when you press the button, and if he happens to die before the first skeleton spawns the ability gets cancelled but the elixer is still spent. I would know, it's happened to me dozens of times. However, if the first skeleton spawns before he dies, the rest will continue to spawn regardless, so you're kind of right (but not really). There's no refunded elixer except when the activation is interrupted by a stun.
Skeleton King will be like Xbow in the meta: high bar of entry, hard to play, kinda boring, super slow, must be patient or lose, very defensive, a good respectable win rate, low use rate, and fucking orgasmic when it connects
Including some pro gameplay so we can see actual interactions in a real game is so smart. Makes it a lot more intuitive, we can only learn so much from individual plays in controlled environments
Larry, witch, mortar, skeli barrel, bats, fireball, skeli army, and spear goblins… went 12-1 in a grand challenge with it. Play the mortar defensively or as a counter attack. And play larry on defense as much as possible, you basically get two skeleton armies and almost nothing gets through except spawners.
I just know oj recorded half of the video and knowing it will take more time to record the rest used CRL to show live tech of the skeleton king.... smooth move oj
Everyone gangsta untill opponent plays logbait, I mean like u can use the log on the opposite sides and use the princess to counter the skeleton king skeleton s and use a mini tank or tesla to counter the king
Would really prefer if the golden knight and archer queen were just regular-sized. It's so counter-intuitive seeing a big muscular guy "weigh" less than a big skeleton.
Oj I just played this deck in the Party mode Triple elixir challenge and won. Just wanted to give you some LOVE on teaching us how to play him. Thank you Thank you.
Welcome to the “how to lose tutorial” with skeleton king Step 1: Do a 20 elixir push Step 2: Your opponent counters it with a cannon, ice spirit and ice golem Step 3: You’re down 15 elixir and your opponent cycles back to the hog Step 4: You lost the tower
Buff Idea: Reduce the skeletons to 2 and increase them by 1 for every 2 souls, up to 5skeletons, BUT make the skeletons invisible like in the April fools challenge
the dint make skeleton king overpowered because they know larry in his original form will one shot the towers so they had to use 0.00000001% of this power
I use him in my hogexenado deck as a defensive counter pusher and it works great. My deck is already very defensive so having him makes it even better. And his ability works great to distract things while my hog does work on a counter push
fun fact is that when mother witch kill the skeletons summoned from skeleton king her hogs will be still for one shot bcs of the souls skeleton they are like blue just like from clone

That’s neat
Even better, the summons are clones in the way you described, but they can still be cloned!
Thanks
I would say the skeleton king is the card that has the best animation. Just watching his march towards the tower and wrecking it will make my day.
I really like his gimmicky skill too... even if he's not the best champion out of all of them lol

bro u dont play clash lmao
4z14nb01 people can play other games :/
@J volk knight is balanced bcz it has good stats for the cost
Let’s be honest he is the easiest hero to defend since there are no balanced decks out there without a splash unit
I’ve had some experience with him in draft. He can actually handle them with his ability by tanking the skeletons they come up behind the wizard or mega knight and deal WORKKK

He needs to be more tanky to compensate the low damage he dishes out
Or give him more damage, he has 2k health

Hows the update @@locker439
He is my favourite champion, because it has a skill cap out of those, you need proper strategy to outplay your opponent if he has a hard counter
Agreed! I genuinely think he's a really good card! Ofc he's not the greatest of the 3 champions but he's still a celeb
@@orangejuice he gets too easily countered by and splash card and arrows/logs imo
yes plus, skeleton themed card=cooler
if they buffed skeleton king to where he gets more souls depending on the rarity of what dies to get his meter up faster it would be fantastic
He is 4 elixir just so u know
So he shines at counter attack plus most of skeleton king never goes alone
Yep he is hella tanky so he is used as a defense card which turns into attack, kinda like how defensive pekka works
@@adrianpaulochoa9825 more like defensive mega knight but not jumping on enemies
King Larry may not be the most viable champion but he is the most fun to use out of all 3 of them
i swear OJ always has the most unrealistic scenarios ever
How to skeleton king.
1: wait for your opponent to use valkrie
Bro I came back to see oj teaching us how to use the skeleton king and saw his face looked so different he use to be chubby
I came back to this game after nearly 2 years of not playing and I got this guy in a chest. I think I'm going to build a deck with him now.
Fun fact: If you spend elixir to activate a champion's ability when he/she's dead the elixir you spent gets refunded to you.
wait wat
@@rezwantahar3361 It's true

2:30 'She's not getting through at all'
That's what she said.
OJ: Only thing that skeleton king can one-shot is skeletons and stab goblins.
Spear goblins: why are we still here?
Skeleton King will be like Xbow in the meta: high bar of entry, hard to play, kinda boring, super slow, must be patient or lose, very defensive, a good respectable win rate, low use rate, and fucking orgasmic when it connects
When the skeleton king first released, he could be knockbacked by a bowler.
Larry just trained a little and stole a graveyard card
The most underrated part of the skeleton king is that his skeletons are like clones, so mother witch isnt a good counter to him.
Including some pro gameplay so we can see actual interactions in a real game is so smart. Makes it a lot more intuitive, we can only learn so much from individual plays in controlled environments
Usually it's a sneak peek of the card inside the dev build... But having CRL World Finals footage was pretty neat this time around!
Larry, witch, mortar, skeli barrel, bats, fireball, skeli army, and spear goblins… went 12-1 in a grand challenge with it. Play the mortar defensively or as a counter attack. And play larry on defense as much as possible, you basically get two skeleton armies and almost nothing gets through except spawners.
That isn't larry
@@jwalsh0130 it’s Larry all grown up
OJ: *does alot of damage*
Me: *does not even kill a ram rider in 3 hits by its own*
He needs more damage, it is like a Dark Prince but way worse in that way.
For a unit this thick you should definitely use the prince and his "lance"
8:34 he can't use ability, because there is one zapis.
that makes a lot of sense! I often forget about that interaction because it's so glitchy
OJ is soooo enthusiastic, he commentates so well, he da best
I just know oj recorded half of the video and knowing it will take more time to record the rest used CRL to show live tech of the skeleton king.... smooth move oj
He definitely has the best swagger walk out of all the cards though

Nice tips thx Oj

"He is one of the thiccest card of the game" 😂
Im so sad over the fact that champions are only available on level 14. I want to enjoy the update too :(
The skeleton king might be the worst champion but I love him with all of my heart
He is not the worst, if u dont know to plsy him its ur problem
the dint make skeleton king overpowered because they know larry in his original form will one shot the towers so they had to use 0.00000001% of this power
So basically he’s a road block to every tower targeted nightmare and is a duel lane pressure god
OJ: He is THICK
Me: This is the new ZERO LOSES or LIMITED
OJ using skeleton be like, "I hope they don't put down a VULK- uh-ree"
you should try two skeleton king with scarmy and just rush the other team.
Love what you make ok keep it up and the new update makes it so fire spirit can’t hit towers
he can, but barely
You are one of my favorite creators thank you so much for the fun
10:28 He activated it!!!! Finally!! Finally!! Thank you!!
That thank-you hit me hard..
That skeleton king is big version of larry😊
I use him in my hogexenado deck as a defensive counter pusher and it works great. My deck is already very defensive so having him makes it even better. And his ability works great to distract things while my hog does work on a counter push
what is your deck exactly?
I like his blue color when he’s full of souls.
oj mentioning skeleton king is thicc
The first skeleton will always spawn in front of him
This will stop bandit/princes
I would love to see a Giant Skeleton King - OJ 2021
fun fact is that when mother witch kill the skeletons summoned from skeleton king her hogs will be still for one shot bcs of the souls skeleton they are like blue just like from clone
yeah thanks oj this was helpful

Skeleton king is a dead giant that was built different
I’ve been using this card with tombstone, it collects souls quickly but the guy barely connects to the Tower
He’s my favorite champ but he’s hard to use

That means that in real life Skeleton King must be HUGE
Skelly champ is by far the coolest but sadly also the worst champ rn, my boy deserves justice.
