Skeelz

Skeelz Logo

In the Skeelz Academy, all subjects are given equal importance. Whether it's the art of Combat, mastering Space and Time, controlling the Mind, Nature studies or Death exploration, nothing is discounted. And to ensure the same tolerance reigns in the streets as in their Academy, the Skeelz are putting their neutrality to one side for the moment to bring about peace... through the force of their punches, of course.

Release Date

Skeelz were released on 19 June 2009.

Bonus

Protection: Ability - The Ability of Skeelz can not be blocked while the Protection: Ability Bonus is activated.

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages:

Their bonus prevents their abilities from being blocked, which helps in fights against GHEIST and Roots.
They do not rely on their bonus to defeat their opponent, which means even if they lose it, they still have a chance to win. As such, they do not have trouble when going up against Nightmare and Piranas, who cancel out their bonus, or even against cards which copy bonuses.
Many of the cards have very good stats, as well as good abilities to assist them.
They are excellent in mono decks, and they also fare well in half decks.
Almost all of the cards are eligible for ELO.
Besides a few select cards, they are a relatively cheap clan to collect.

Disadvantages:

Though their bonus prevents their abilities from being cancelled, it does nothing to assist them in fights.
Some of the cards are weak against power or attack manipulation.
Some of the cards' abilities are Confidence or Revenge, which means you must think carefully when using them.
Their main weakness is all-stops, who cancel out their bonus and their abilities. They also rely heavily on their abilities.

Notes and Trivia

The Skeelz is based on that of a cross between two fictional academies: Hogwarts from Harry Potter, and the Xavier Institute of Gifted Youngsters from X-Men.
The Skeelz's finishing animation has a series of books floating around the Skeelz card, and then around the opponent's card, freezing it. The frozen card shatters, sending an ice shard through the screen.
The Skeelz´s finishing animation in Arena mode appears a giant and purple book of clan with teeth bites and destroys the opponent's HQ, which the book disappears.
The Skeelz's finishing animation in UR World, the opponent´s card is around of a pink and violet smoke with magic symbols and shine, later the card disappears.
The Skeelz´s weapon are magic books.
The clan's name is a play on the word "skills" as well as the word "school."
Some players mistake the S in Skeelz for a five (as seen on the clan logo on their cards). Yet, the five describes the number of classes of the Skeelz Academy (Combat, Nature, Mind, Death, and Space & Time).
Skeelz was the last clan to be released six characters per wave, until six years later when the Raptors clan, reintroduced the concept.
The Skeelz don't have a common colour, due to the fact that the Academy is divided into several classes using their own colour to represent their subject, though aside from the colors that make the classes up they also wear black and white with the latter color being replaced with the class color, such as Sasha wearing purple in her second-level art.
With the arrival of Nekron and his subject Nekromancy, there's the first addition to the subjects since their arrival and Daniela being the first student.
Their clan symbol bears a heavy resemblance as to how the Hogwarts House blazons are depicted, fitting with the Skeelz's background.
The clan's secondary bio reads "As a young student, we will teach you to master your abilities... Our students are all different, and here, their immense abilities are awakened before they even know it. Our bonus seems weak, some might even say the weakest of the game, but there’ll be times when it saves your life!"
Paradox member Elios was a former student but was expelled for his instability (though the exact reason why remains unclear).
In Eloxia's bio, before a potential student can join the Academy, the potential student has to take an entrance exam to see which of the five classes that suits the abilities of the student in question, Eloxia's reptilian features placed her in the Nature class.
With the exception of the Academy's teachers and staff, they are the only clan that mostly consists of kids or teenagers.
- In fact, some of the students are related to other cards, such as Chiara Cr being Lilith's daughter.
With the exception of the abilities added on Day One, the clan has the most abilities or conditions added with Protection, Revenge, Confidence, Reprisal, and Copy Opp. Bonus.
