Giant Skeleton is one of the OG Giants in Clash Royale! It's been here since the very beginning, and it's had a long struggle finding a spot in the meta. It took a long time for this card to be properly buffed, and it's had some very high low points in it's history. This video covers everything about this bone head from 2016 to 2023!

    I feel like the only reason giant skeleton attacks troops is because they didn’t want him to just be a land balloon.
  • @BananaDuck_
    You can’t deny how satisfying it is when the giant skeleton reaches the tower
  • @LadyKatt657
    I'm unfortunately 2 days late, but this card was my heart and soul in this game. I was the coolest kid at the lunch table with him, as dumb as that sounds. I thank him for that. For those that are interested. It's no longer cool anymore. But this deck was my everything till I officially retired.

  • @classclown552
    Royale giant definitely needs a video on him just because of how iconic the card was through out the games history, especially when everyone played him.
  • Man I forget sometimes that giant skeleton exists, he's always been that off meta card that's fun to mess with
  • @JustPoli19
    I always loved Giant Skeleton for his tricky functionality, then (due to his spawn laugh) it has a special place in my heart... But unfortunately I never used him that much, until now, that I made some decks with him that are really fun to use
  • The giant skeleton was always one of my favorites and I loved the off meta decks with him. He is the card that I got the best with, and I always felt like an underdog like you stated, and that reward watching that timer tick down near a tower was amazing
  • @liamdoesmath2106
    I think a comprehensive “most broken cards in CR history” video could be really good. Things like evo firecracker, launch phoenix/night witch, 6 elixir recruits, etc
  • @FutureThrone795
    Getting the giant skeleton to the tower feels so fun, it’s like a mission impossible run where you’ve gotta log the swarms and distract the meat shields to deliver the payload.
  • @CustosXAdamo
    G Skelly has been a low-tier card but he has always been fun. I am interested in seeing the stats for the evolution cards and how their winrate has changed the meta, (or made it worse to get in to).
  • @biggie_d298
    This is interesting, I thought as the common trope of skeletons and the unique idea of it being the only giant to target troops. My question is why not use it defensively? Almost all the skeleton cards are defensive. There's currently only a handful that are purely offensive. That being WBs, Graveyard, Balloon and Scarell. Every other card is more defensive so it makes sense for it. Also side note how about a Golem video? It's been affected quite a bit with the night witch and beatdown so it'll be interesting to see it's development
  • @YoshiKai_
    The giant skeleton feels like a payload which you have to carry to the tower. And the background theme from mario galaxy in the intro fits this card perfectly 👌
  • @SrPequen0
    Giant skeleton is my favorite card. It can get so much value both in defense and in offense. It’s good to see him being a balanced card and not op or too weak, it’s a really healthy card for the game
  • @henriquebbotelho
    I love how your view brings more of the context to the video and creates a sense of "history" into each and every one of them
  • @MonkeyManc
    bro the fact that the most replayed part is skipping the raid shadow legends add 😭
  • @Yesenn
    When the Skeleton Giant reaches a tower, it's always satisfying seeing the bomb take away like a thousand hp from the tower. Even if it doesn't get any other hits, just the bomb deals so much.
  • @mohannadali9662
    The giant skeleton was ridiculously op back in the day. I instantly put it in my main deck and never removed it. It literally took down hordes of troops with its bomb. I was safe no matter how I played.
  • @ShreyaSz
    I've been playing GS for 6+ years now and i think the time when the bomb killed the wizards and muskteers was the best time . Other than that i think he is fairly balanced now . But for the current meta a 2-5% hp buff or a little more hit speed would be great .
