Description
The Sword Skeleton is a unit spawned from the Necromancer's gravestones. It can spawn from Level 1 gravestones, though only if the Necromancer is at Level 2 or higher. If there are enemies in its range, it will stop moving and start attacking them with its sword. If there are no enemies in its range, it will wait for a while for enemies to enter it. If no enemy enters its range, it will continue walking. It can also deal damage through collision.
Appearance
The Sword Skeleton is made entirely of white parts that resemble a skeletal humanoid. It does not have a full torso, but instead has the bone cage for it. Its head is slightly smaller than most other enemies and has two large black eyeholes. It wields a black sword with skulls that have neon blue eyes.

Strategy
- The Sword Skeleton is similar in terms of health to the Skeleton unit. However, as it has a sword, it can attack enemies, allowing it to survive for longer and deal more damage.
- This makes it useful against slower enemies like the Abnormal Boss, Normal Boss or Heavy.
- However, its low range will makes it weak against fast enemies with high health, like the Shock or Glitch.
- The Sword Skeleton can be useful against hidden enemies as it has hidden detection, though it may struggle against higher health hidden enemies like the Shadow Boss.
- The Sword Skeleton can deal full collision damage to enemies with defense, like the Heavy or Abnormal Boss.
- The damage from its sword is still affected by defense.
- The Sword Skeleton will struggle against any enemy with abilities that damage units because of its low health.
- For example, if the Fallen King uses its The Foil, the Épée and the Sabre attack, and a Skeleton is caught in the attack, it is instantly killed.
