The Giant Skeleton's death bomb can devastate your defenses. Ignoring him is not an option, or your tower will be gone. You need to neutralize this big boned menace before he reaches your base! The key to countering the Giant Skeleton is to focus on its relatively low health for its elixir cost and avoiding the death bomb. My top 3 counters are: 1. **Mega Minion:** Its high damage and air targeting make it perfect. Place it directly above or slightly behind the Giant Skeleton to maximize damage output. 2. **Minions:** Swarm him with these flying attackers. Deploy them around the Giant Skeleton to surround him and spread the bomb's damage if it goes off. 3. **Knight:** An inexpensive option. Place him in front of your tower to tank, allowing ranged units to do damage. Using a Mega Minion or Minions nets you a positive elixir trade by at least 3 elixir. Use these elixir savings to build your counter push!
