"I always thought that skeleton warriors were impossible. No one would think that a lifeless skeleton would move on its own. But what is ridiculous is that this impossible happened in our world for three hundred years. The corpses of victims who died from these skeletons are the best proof. "
——Scholar Abdu Hazel
The army of the undead
In the first to the fifth acts of "Diablo 2", the most familiar monster type for players is the skeleton warrior. This type of monster not only runs through the entire game as a classic enemy of the player, but can also be used by players, becoming a common horseman in specific professions to resist damage for players on the front line. Although like the zombies in the first act of the game, skeleton warriors have always been the lowest in the setting, once they fight in groups, their power cannot be underestimated. In the eyes of necromancer , the cheap but practical skeleton warrior is the most cost-effective little brother in some cases, with less mana consumption and level requirements, so that the summoned necromancer can establish a large army of skeletons in the early stage.
Skeleton Warrior in the cutscene
"In the last few days of King Leorick's death, even the corpses of ancient people could not get rest. The skeletons once again picked up the ragged armor and weapons they had in their lifetime and were always ready to cut off any living things they saw. Although these monsters looked thin and fragile, they were There is a hint of cunning before making any decision, which makes them particularly terrifying. "

Skeleton Warrior
Skeleton Warrior, also known as the Resurrection, is an immortal warrior created by spells. They are the remains of ancient warriors, and the cause of death is miserable. They are either killed in the bloodiest battle or betrayed by the people they trust the most. Skeleton warriors are usually made through undead rituals or demon spells. During this period, any remaining bodies in their lifetime, along with the attached soul fragments, will quickly wither. The final product is a terrifying and actionable skeleton.
Skeleton warriors may look like a kind of intellectually unintelligent monster, but their persistence in achieving their mission has scared any adventurer. Compared with zombies that are also undead creatures, the skeleton warriors move much faster and have higher intelligence. In theory, a necromancer can create a fairly savvy skeleton minion, or a large group of unconscious skeleton soldiers, while consuming the same mana.
Necromancer's skeleton army
Although the skeleton warriors are slightly thin, their huge number is enough to make up for this not fatal disadvantage. Due to the resentment they have accumulated in rebirth, they have a fanatical desire for the blood of living creatures after they revival. This characteristic, coupled with the continuous anger of these skeleton warriors, undoubtedly makes them difficult to mess with. The skeleton warriors will execute the orders given by their master until the master orders them to stop.
Skeleton warriors can use a variety of weapons, including swords, sticks, and bows and arrows, and they even join the battle in armor and shields. The existence of these weapons can often be seen in some of the tombs where skeleton warriors live. Although these weapons are generally of poor quality, this still does not hinder the threat of the skeleton army, because adventurers have seen some skeleton warriors who can control their staff to cast elemental energy. The existence of such creatures proves that even dead people have the ability to use magic.

The difference from ordinary people is that most skeleton warriors are composed of broken skeletons and bone pieces, rather than being directly transformed from a complete skeleton.But this magical construction method also gives the caster some benefits, such as the necromancer can easily summon skeleton warriors when there are enough raw materials around. Summoning skeleton warriors also has some requirements for the casting location. For example, summoning skeletons in cemeteries is obviously easier than in forests, and ruins on ancient battlefields are easier than temples for sacrifice. But the only exception occurred during the fall of Tristram . Due to the revival of Diapolo in the world, skeletons appeared in groups in Tristram Lecture Hall. Some locals believe that these skeleton warriors are likely transformed from the remains of the monk Heradim.
Undead Technique
Rasma Sacrifice, that is, the necromancer, can directly convert the body of the deceased into a skeleton warrior through the undead Technique. These necromancers will resurrect these ancient warriors from death by combining with the souls of the dead. During the initial stages of this skill, necromancers could only briefly maintain a small number of undead soldiers to execute their commands. But with the study and in-depth understanding of the skills of the undead, necromancers can control and control the souls of the dead that will be stronger and permanently control the skeleton warriors they create. These skilled necromancers will fully project their consciousness onto the summoned skeleton warriors, and can move through these skeletons even miles away. This is not only amazing for this skill, but some people believe that the birth of the Necromancer has made the Necromancer omnipotent.
