Description

Skeletons are animated bones, undead creatures both strong and dexterous. They have access to special skeleton talents and a wide range of undead abilities:

  • Poison immunity
  • Bleeding immunity
  • Fear immunity
  • No need to breathe
  • Special skeleton talents: bone armour, resilient bones, re-assemble

Note: Undead are unnatural creatures and may not use infusions or be any Wilder classes. They do not gain the Harmony talent tree from eating the Heart of the Sandworm Queen, but they may consume a corrupted heart to gain the Vile Life talent tree.

Strategy

Being unable to use Infusions is a huge weakness of the Undead races. While they can become immune or partially immune to many statuses via their inherent immunities and Resilient Bones, these do not replace the hole that not having access to wild infusions leaves behind. While heat beam runes and biting gale runes can be used to replace physical and mental infusions, they are not quite as effective, as they don't also remove cross-tier effects. It also means no Movement infusions, an almost essential infusion for melee classes. You should attempt to shore this up by getting mobility skills in your class, if available.
