Skeleton Archer:
is a Monster
and an Undead
and a Guest Monster

Skeleton Archers are Undead.

Magically-reanimated skeletal warriors, these archers possess terrifying accuracy, but not very high damage or firing rate. Boss packs can be dangerous, but individuals are largely a nuisance, largely thanks to the impossibility of leeching life or mana from them.

  • All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.


Statistics[edit]

Some skeleton archers drop from a higher Treasure Class when killed by ranged weapons. The TC is listed in (#) below.

  • The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
    • Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.
    • The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Defenses[edit]

No life or mana can be drained from skeletons in v1.11.

  • Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
  • Blocking values are assigned to every monster in the game, but the ability is seldom enabled, so most monsters can not block (Hence the blocking % given on most Diablo II monster pages, including Blizzard's, is inaccurate.) When enabled, blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
  • Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
  • Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances[edit]

  • Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
  • Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
