The skeletons are the most basic of the enemies that you will face in Slashy Souls. The skeletons are always equipped with a sword and carry a shield that they use to block your attacks. The skeletons always move forward but, like you, they will stand in place when blocking. When they are blocking, don’t waste time trying to attack; if the skeleton catches you in-between swings of your sword you will take damage. Either wait until their shield goes down or jump over them and avoid the enemy altogether.
