They have slow foot speed and attack speed, and very low hit points, so will usually die in just one or two hits, once their shields are bypassed.
==Block?==
[[Image:Mon-skeletal-shieldman1.jpg|frame]]As of the WWI 2008 gameplay movie, (July 2008), skeletal shieldmen mark their success blocking attacks with the word block, appearing on the screen above the action. The 'block' does not negate all damage, but it does negate most of it. This feature is controversial, with many players disapproving of the word showing up on the screen, as though the action were being narrated in a fighting game. There's no telling if that feature will remain into the final game, as early in development as we are now. ==Shield Power==The glowing shield will block the majority of the damage dealt, and as a visual representation, the glow will diminish until the power of the shield runs out. You can easily see how much damage these skeletons will be able to block from direct damage.
