Skullgirls Beginner’s Guide (2025): 5 Must-Know Tips to Dominate Early Game

Skullgirls Beginner’s Guide (2025): 5 Must-Know Tips to Dominate Early Game

1. Master the Basics Before Flashy Combos

• Controls: Drill bread-and-butter combos (e.g., Filia’s LP > MP > HP > Hairball). Practice blocking highs/lows and dashing under projectiles (Peacock counterplay!).
• Team Size: Solo characters take +50% damage—start with a duo (e.g., Filia + Cerebella) for balanced offense/defense.

2. Progress Like a Pro

• Daily Grind: Reroll "Win 5 PvP" missions—replace with "Upgrade 3 Skills" for faster completion.
• Relics: Never spend gems on single pulls. Save for Limited-Time Banners (e.g., Summer 2025’s Bio-Exorcist Painwheel).

3. Resource Tricks

• Gold/XP: Farm Chapter 1 Hard Mode—rewards +30% XP vs. Normal.
• Energy: Prioritize Weekend Material Events (Sunday’s Skill Module Madness).

4. Avoid Noob Traps

• PVP: Ban Peacock/Robo-Fortune—their zoning destroys beginners.
• Gacha: Ignore Bronze/Silver fighters; focus on one meta gold (e.g., Eliza’s blood magic).

5. Advanced Secrets

• Clutch Moves: Emergency Block (MP+MK) costs 1 bar but stops infinite combos.
• Hidden Buffs: Squigly gets +20% damage when <30% HP—abuse it!
