Fighting Basics:

Skullgirls is an old-school fighting game and has simple controls. Tapping the screen does normal attacks, which turn into combos when you keep tapping. You can also make gestures to move around and perform different maneuvers:

• Swipe Left: Dash away
• Swipe Right: Dash towards your opponent with an attack
• Swipe Down: Perform a crouch attack
• Swipe Up: Juggle your opponent in the air.
  • If you tap immediately after knocking the opponent in the air, you will follow with an aerial combo.
• Swipe Anywhere with 2 Fingers: Throw the opponent
• Hold the Screen with 2 Fingers: Block

Special Moves:

Each character has it’s own special moves, special attacks and special combos, you can perform the special moves by tapping their icons at the bottom corner, but however you can’t spam them cause they have a cooldown timer that you’ll have to wait for it to finish so you can use it again.
For the special attacks, it can be preformed in the same way but instead of a cooldown timer, there is a meter that you must fill by attacking your oppenent or getting until the special move becomes available, after using it, You’ll have to fill the meter again.

Elemental Strengths and Weaknesses:

There are 5 different elements each fighter can have. Each element has a strength and weakness.

• Fire: Weak to Water and strong against Air.
• Water: Weak to Air and strong against Fire.
• Air: Weak to Fire and strong against Water.
• Light: Strong against Dark.
• Dark: Strong against Light.

When you use an element that’s weak to another one, you deal 20% less damage. When you use an element strong against another, you deal 20% more damage.

Light and Dark elements are special. These 2 will deal 20% more damage to each other, but they will not deal 20% less damage to anything.

Character Progression and Customization:

You can equip multiple types of special moves and special attacks on your characters to make them uniqueby choosing them in the menu. The only thing you need to do is unlock them first.

Special Move and Blockbuster Equipping

Each character start with 2 slots for moves and a set amount of Move Points. Each move requires a certain number of move points to equip. So if you have one that take up 8 points and you only have 10, you can only equip other moves that equal to 2 or less.

Moves have different tiers so Each move can either be Bronze, silver, or Gold Tier. The higher the tier, the better the move. The good news is that a move will always take up the same amount of move points, regardless of tier.

You can upgrade all moves by spending coins and some moves give additional effects when upgraded.

Skill Tree

Each character also has their own skill tree. As you level up a character, they will earn experience and skill points. You can use these skill points to unlock bonuses in the skill tree. You must also spend coins when unlocking skills.

Each character has the same things in their skill tree, with the only exception being the character ability section. This part depends on the character you are using. The other sections allow you to increase their damage, reduce the energy cooldown so you can use them more often, increase their max health, unlock more move slots, and increase the max amount of move points.

Leveling and Powering Up

When you participate in fights you get experience. With enough experience, you will level up and get stronger.

You can also fuse unwanted fighters into another fighter to earn experience. If you fuse the same type of fighter, such as 2 Parasouls, you will get extra skill experience.

Fighters also has thier tiers so Each fighter can also be Bronze, Silver, or Gold — like your moves. You can raise a Bronze or Silver fighter to the next level by fusing the same character types and reach max level. Awesome, Right?!!
