    Good hp over time potential. Good stalling potential. In any skeleton bg I use, swarm units are such a bain. (broken bones crutching) I feel like wining with black baron should be easier then it is, I never win with him. 2x Yobanchi's though, I would be tempted to go 1 Yobanchi and 1 Xulos. What king of upgrades are you using Yobanchi with since you are using 2x cloak of skulls (4x of non-stack augment of creation in one bg?)

    I love alter of bones and build strategies, but sac alters will get'ya gibs.

    Tome-less and reapers blade-less. The bg would be helped by some bigger range options... and always think about despoil or soul collection. You are using a lot of weak feeble champs, but you do want to give up too many nora globes.

    If you are planning on a late game, Toll Taker will help drive in the nails of a coffen.

    Never enough rune room to me, to play skeletons the way I would like too, out side of 2vs2.

    Then there are swarm units, that make me question playing skeletons outside of campaign.

    Actually, it's its unnamed version. Anyways, he's using Mindswipe Aura and Augment Creation. I don't really understand the nora part. Almost all of the spammed champs are summons, except for the Broken bones provided by Bone Trap which is a real champ. Another thing I noticed is that it seems like Swarm is not triggered by killing summons. I played once against a guy using this Vashal Mirrorblade, using Demonologist to kill his summons (Multi-attack skellies, duh)-None of the illusions seemed to turn into skeletons. My guess is that Swarm doesn't work with Swarm.

    Changed Anathema for Reaper's Blade.

    Illusions are separate from summons. An illusion is destroyed as soon as it is targeted by an ability; the ability does not actually connect with and potentially destroy the target. Therefore, illusions cannot be swarmed. Summons, however, can be swarmed.

    One with nora/oblivion shield > mindwipe aura

    He's so fragile otherwise.
