Gameplay[]
Skullgirls Mobile, unlike previous Skullgirls editions, features a more RPG based format. With the main feature being Fighter Cards.
Fighter Cards will typically use existing colour palettes from 2nd Encore, but instead of the colour palette being exclusively cosmetic, said fighter will have separate statistics, including a Signature Ability, which has a character specific modifier based on the characters origin story, either Skullgirls based or otherwise.
Fighter Cards require the user to purchase Skill Tree nodes in order to unlock any abilities, which can be purchased with in-game currency, which consists of Canopy Coins and Theonite, which are more premium based.
Skullgirls Mobile also features all DLC characters, including Guest Stars, consisting of Brain Drain, Minette, and the upcoming Roxie.
Game Modes[]
Skullgirls Mobile features a Story Mode, which follows the fighter joining The Black Egrets to assist Princess Parasoul in defeating the Skullgirl, Marie. Alongside this, there are multiple character based Origin Stories, including Peacock, Big Band, Squigly, and Valentine.
As well as this, Skullgirls Mobile features multiple unique game modes, such as the following.
- Prize fights, which are weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly events in which a user will attack another users build. These can either be based on specific in-game currencies, specific characters, or seasonal events respectively.
- Rift Battles, which are weekly rank assessed challenges. Rift battles measure how many different teams (Rifts) a user can attack whilst maintaining their own rift. Every Monday, Rift Battles will reset, and a specific rank/reward is given based on which rank you are able to reach. (Including Silver, Gold, and Diamond tiers.)
- Versus Battles, which allow the user to connect online to play against a teammate. Contains both a Competitive and a Free For All mode.
- Training, which allows you to battle 3 randomized 'Sparring Partner' dummies, giving the user an opportunity to experiment with combos.
- Events, formerly Daily Events, are a mode which contains a rotation of character based events, which allows you to collect special moves and fighter points.
- Missions, a daily set of missions, which allows you to collect Canopy Coins and Theonite if you complete the required missions.
