Armored Skeletons are Hard Mode enemies found underground, largely (but not entirely) replacing normal Skeletons after defeating the Wall of Flesh.
In addition to their high attack, they can also inflict the Debuff "Broken Armor."
Strategy[]
Considering how dangerous they are in melee combat and their tendency to attack in numbers, it is advised that the player attack from a distance, preferably with a weapon that can hit multiple targets (such as an appropriately-tiered Spear).
Notes[]
- The Heavy Skeleton is a slightly stronger and tougher variant of this mob that also spawns somewhat less frequently.
Update Info[]
- Added to the game.
