Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Skeleton Dragons when you can float 4 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Skeleton Dragons with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.

Hold Skeleton Dragons for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas

Mix Skeleton Dragons with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Skeleton Dragons down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Skeleton Dragons near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Skeleton Dragons so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
