HEY YOU

POST A VIDYA SKELETON

AND RANK HOW POWERFUL THEY ARE

S

A

B

C

D

F

MAY THE BEST SKELE WIN

BUMP I can't post bones right now.

Anon Babble...they just don't care about us no more

They are at least A rank.

okay

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm gonna say a solid C for now

I added an E tier for more spacing. Anons, feel free to discuss placements at any time.

They are pretty fucking bad, E tier.

need moar

considering they have +5 stats to defences and you are more than likely going to be fighting them as a level 20-30 with various mithiril and steel armor, they should atleast recieve a c ranking considering their drops are extremely low tier and the hill giants are a much better option with their big bones, they are more of a distraction/ hassle to the player

Added a few more minecraft ones to fill it up
Picked the one in the middle, hopefully it represents them well

S+

Bones from Quake III. Literally glows in the dark.

i can hear it

absolutely fucking bodies you in the first dungeon while screeching like a bat out of hell

S

In Japanese folklore, Gashadokuro, (餓者髑髏) also known as Odokuro (大髑髏), are giant skeletons, fifteen times taller than an average person. If a Gashadokuro sees a human, it will grab them and attempt to bite their head off. Gashadokuro are created from gathering bones from people who have died of starvation. The only way a Gashadokuro can be detected before it appears is by hearing a ringing in one's ears.

Spooky.
He appears in SMT so I'm gonna use that.
I'm gonna assume A tier?
I'll trust you on this one

Lego Fortnite skeletons. They serve pretty much the same function and have similar strength to Minecraft skeletons and zombies
D tier

S

Capable of massive amounts of damage but he goes down real quickly, which keeps him out of S, but I'd say he's still worthy of an A

this guy has got to be S tier

Put him in both F and S tier

B for Big Skeleton

what rank?

Sir Daniel Fortesque

Literally impossible

this nigger is easily the strongest skeleton in vidya

SHIT FUCK OH GOD HES LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE+1 FUCK GOD DAMN TROON GAME FUCK

The fact that Mr. Bones, THE videogame skeleton, hasn't been posted yet gives me deep despair.

S tier, literally a skeleton deity

bumpin because i'm still making the list

we've run out of skeletons to talk about

posting more

does skeleton king count
he got retconned in dota 2
he can't die so atleast A tier

Okay, hopefully I didn't fuck everything up

Keep posting those skeletons bros

Yo-kai Watches Gutsy Bones is a Gashadokuro addicted to gatchapon machines. The version you can befriend is B rank, so shove him there.

PREPARE TO BE BONED

ah shit

You're doing important work

Fear and Hunger skeletons are pretty based, there's like 3 in the whole game you can raise but you can fill out your party with them and they can wear armor and shit while never going insane or ever needing to eat, solid A tier

I reckon this bag o' bones deserves to be the first F tier. Unarmoured, weak, incredibly fragile and explodes into a ragdoll of bones upon defeat.

forgot pic

Sad 2 the Bone also hails from Yo-kai Watch. C-rank Yo-kai, so C-rank skeleton.

???

The Dragon Quest skeleton. I am going with the Joker 1/2 ranking of D because the newest DQM had rank inflation, and this tier list doesn't have a G grade.

SkullBaluchimon is a huge beast rather than a man, and it's a perfect stage. That's a solid high B or low A. But it's also made out of megabytes rather than calcium, so it might not even count as a real skeleton.

Dark Souls 2 wall skeleton
its troubles are over now, F tier

Updated

thanks anon
A tier is pretty crazy overpowered already, considering it has Skeletron Prime and the Power Lich from H3 (who I think is canonically a god?) Fear and Hunger skeles are probably gonna go in C (unless there's something I'm missing), and SkullBaluchimon will probably have to go top of B

For everyone else, do feel free to challenge any of my rankings though, for literally any of the ones up here, as that's part of the fun.

Let me give you a hand.

(who I think is canonically a god?)

Actually I was thinking of the wrong skele, disregard this parenthesis

Vordred from Adventure Quest Worlds. He's supposed to be millions of souls fused into an undying skeletal juggernaut, but he still jobs to a lot of dumb shit, so I'm thinking low A tier.

RATTLE MY BONES
They're like, the second area or something so D probably
It's the skeleton from ff4 DS

Eerie tier

Forgot about Papyrus
Probably C for him

Updated, added the Skeleton Horse from Minecraft to establish a non-attacking unique skele

just a literal dead skeleton

yeah that's gonna have to get a tier of it's own
Eh, he's kinda useless and doesn't actually kill you. If you think about it he's kinda serves the same purpose of Mr. Bones from GMod so I'm gonna put them next to each other, despite Papyrus being able to do some impressive attacks

F tier

Since one consolidation of Skeleton data into a being counts, I am gonna shove in some more. SkullMammothmon X is the stage after perfect, and fought off cancer, giving it the power to stand on its hind legs. It should be the B tier skeleton all skeletons need to be able to beat in order to be considered for A teir.

OUTTA MY WAY, MYSTICS COMING THRU

Since one consolidation of Skeleton data into a being counts

As long as it's in the spirit of skeletons I'll add them, which includes this, endoskeletons, or exoskeletons.

funger skeleton can be lowered to C cause you can still raise ghouls I remembered

funger skeleton

Which one is this again? Apologies, a lot of skeletons to keep track of.

Zombor

Is this a zombie or a skeleton?

Skullsatamon is a basic dark wizard. I don't think it's enough for A but could still destroy a lot of B teir.

Skullgreymon is a dinosaur fossil with a missile made out of flesh. I still think the mamoth should be a filter that keeps the unworthy out of A but I think the long range explosive makes it a close second to that.

Never mind, apparently he's made from multiple skeletons, so I think it counts? Looks like maybe C tier cause he's a boss + big + can breathe fire

Izanami-no-Okami from persona 4, S tier
Basically a goddess

youtube.com/watch?v=Xh62qFaC11s
thread theme

Nuclear Throne Skeleton. D for Damnation.

incredibly tanky

taunts you when you attack him

refuses to fight back

resurrects upon death to continue taunting you

is actually just trying to help you grow stronger

I'm thinking Skelly has earned B tier, if not A.

Waterfall boss from Contra Hard Corps
He is really bad at his job, I'm thinking E or D.

Jobber or not he was still badass. Back when I played AQW 15 years ago I used to larp as a skeleton.

Do Necrons count as skeletons?

but it's not even halloween!
B rank

Could you imagine them saying ACK ACK?

they are souls of a alien race trapped in metal bodies, much like a soul is tied to the bones they once had for spooky skeletons i think it counts

prince of persia skeleton, e tier

You've reminded me of the skill check skeleton.
I'm thinking matador deserves an A

Skullman.EXE because I like him more than the Robot Master. High C

Updated. Also added the ghost skeleton from Luigi's Mansion, so now we have THREE characters named Mr. Bones.

I'll trust your judgement on these ones

he's got size on him for sure, so probably top of D

Robo skeletons

Of course
C tier maybe? What do those guns do?

What do those guns do

They fire lasers that rip you apart at an atomic level.

C tier sounds about right for the average Necron Warrior

The weapon is a Gauss Rifle. The weapons fire green, lightning-like beams at the enemy, which strip the targets away molecule by molecule.

Where's the Kleer? Gotta have him in at least A tier.

What do those guns do?

A Gauss Flayer is a type of Necron Gauss Weapon that can strip a target down to nothing molecule by molecule, reducing it to its constituent atoms in a matter of seconds. Gauss Flayers are rifle-like weapons consisting of a stock, a transparent tube containing the unholy and unknown viridian energy the weapon fires, and sometimes an axe-like bayonet underneath the circular muzzle.

tl;dr they delete anything and everything

I think the whole immortality gimmick they have going on would bump them up to B.
After they suffer enough damage to render them combat ineffective, they're automatically teleported back to the nearest forge to be repaired then teleported back to the battlefield.

did anyone ever play Will Rock? I loved the rattling sound these dudes made when they ran towards you

kleer are fodder, I'd say solid C-tier

Oh yeah, I forgot about that cheese. Unless hit with something powerful or explosive enough to blow them to pieces in one shot

These obnoxious fuckers. D tier.

100% fatality rate.
Easy S-rank.

SSS rank for sure

Wither
3 wither skeletons combined to make a pain in the ass to kill boss
B tier

Death from Castlevania for S

Dracula's right hand man

while naked he kicked the nonexistent ass of his dollar store doppelgänger that wanted to destroy the timeline

in Vampire Survivor he killed the original game's final boss and broke the entire game

I've heard the Wither is crazy hard in Bedrock edition. Should that bump him up a bit?

WD Gaster
Don't think there much canonically about him other than he created the weapons Sans uses and a bunch of other tech stuff
B tier

Maybe, though I don't think it matches the power level of some of the other A tier skeletons, hard to say

Is Gaster confirmed to be a Skeleton though?

what about these niggas

Most art depicts him as one, but that is fan art. Quick google search gives this though. All other characters in the game named after fonts are skeletons so it would make sense

I think he might be a ghast, hence the name. This raises the question, if a skeleton is ethereal, does it still count?

I'd argue that's a ghost, even if it is a ghost skelly

How's C tier looking? Is everyone there on roughly the same power?

Give it up for Mr. Bones #4 everyone!
Yeah, I'll put him somewhere in the middle of B to be sure.
Yeah, I agree. Although his actual power is incredibly ambiguous so I'll put him at C.

Archlich of Naxxramas, esteemed Lich Lord of the Plaguelands, Commander of the Dread Necropolis, Master and Founder of the Cult of the Damned, formerly of the Council of Six, Creator of the Abomination, Summoner of Archimonde the Defiler, Betrayer of Humanity, Hearthstone Enthusiast, and Majordomo to the Lich King, KEL'THU-FUCKING-ZAD

I can't say I know all of the characters in C but it looks vaguely around the same?
Creaking Skull shall one day rule them all

J tier for jobber

Annoying piece of shit

These are elves. The faggot kind at that

BOO!
Probably lower B? Maybe High C?

ruins your clothes with acidic vinegar

MR BONES OFF ME

Update

Skellies in Undying are tenacious

have to be dispelled to stay down

if cut in half, the legs will pursue and kick your shins

youtube.com/watch?v=YdI0fetIDuc&t=9414s
still, probably D

the fear and hunger one

Also, how do we feel about skulls? These guys are pretty powerful, and cackling is top notch. I'd give them a C
youtube.com/watch?v=uiNfvPRePWo

ah
it was lowered to C anyway

Updated.

Alright, that's probably it from me tonight. If you guys keep this thread alive by the time I wake up I'll do another update. If there's a ton posted but the thread dies, I'll make a new thread tomorrow with the word "skeleton" in the title for ctrl+f purposes. Depends.

Had fun, thanks for participating guys.

thanks anon, good work
good night

B tier at minimum.

deathaboos think they belong on a tier list

lose your flesh first, chump

Uh..I kinda realized that they might not be skeletons..Fuck...Welp I guess Skeleton hydra from EBF counts, atleast on B-A as they are very fucking hard to kill. Also good night OP

These fucks from Nioh. solid B tier at least. Nothing like getting stabbed from behind and losing half your health in a single hit.
