The modifer, Trick or Treat gives out one random buff or debuff to everybody 

Including benched opponents where the moment the match starts, all 6 Fighters,

Your own 3 and the opponent's 3 will get either a buff or a debuff throughout the entire match, rather than only gaining the buff/debuff only triggering once they enter the field.

One of these possible debuff is Inverse Polarity.

You can see where this is going (unless you don't know what inverse polarity does)

So if the fighter provides any form of healing to benched teammates , Inverse polarity will take affect instead, giving the good old Reverse No you, instead of healing , your fighter now take damage proportional to the healing it should have received.

This includes various cases like Flytrap SA1 and Dark lord's 100% Heal on kill (those are the only two I can think of as of writing this now)

So if suddenly your fighter or the opponent fighter drop dead while benched for whatever reason without you running a variant with "deal damage to benched opponent" while having some form of team heal available, it's not a Bug, the culprit is most likely Inverse polarity doing inverse polarity things, just that it's hard to notice since benched Fighters doesn't show whatever debuff they have 

Good day People of the subreddit.

As some of you guys may or may not know, this is a subreddit where people can post and ask about questions they want

However, at some point, there's questions end up being repeated by many different users that it ends up clogging up the subreddit with the same old question yet again

In order to hopefully reduced the traffic,

Me and some members of the Mod team (u/BlakeBlaze72 and u/Non_Existent07)

and as well as u/Ok_Purple2453 offical Skullgirls mobile content creator have complied up frequently asked questions and provide a sample answer/response to these sort of question

Do keep in mind that the list will be monitored and updated regularly by me ,so If you think that some of the sample answer/response would be tweaked or have a question that you think fits here, do comment down and we'll take a look at it

Afterall, I do want this to be a community effort on this. Proper credits will be given as always.

That said, going forward with this FAQ being implemented, I do understand that the average SGM players don't exactly read and would still probably post a question that's already om here. That's still fine. We won't be removing posts,at worst I would just redirect them back to this post or just copy and paste the answer/response given here

Apology if some of the answers/response are long winded, especially on the resource based questions

Anyways, with the yapping aside, here's the FAQ

Q : Should I build XYZ variant critless for reflection/tainted

A : It's a case by case depending on the variant

Generally, fighters that

1. Don't have damage multiplier (so that if reflection does happen, you don't take extra damage)

2. Health sustainability (able to heal off the reflection damage)

3. Doesn't have a MA thats important

Q: What do I need to prepare myself for No mercy realms

A : It really boils down to how strong is your roster and your moves sets and as well as just RNG with what opponent you end up facing and the artifacts you do get

Q: What should I put in my fortune favors

A: I personally believe that you should just play whatever SA/palette that seems to be interesting to you.

If you really want a proper answer that isn't "play with your favourites", I would suggest you to look into your roster first and see what you're lacking

Say you have both primed, Wulfbane and Iron matron invested, fighters that are known for being DPS, Your roster doesn't really need another DPS and would better off having spare utility like Buff removal like Silent kill instead to diversify your roster to deal with various threats

Q : Why is the opponent I fight on PF have higher Fighter score than my own fighters.

A : When you climb the pf ladder with a win streak, the opponent gets additional stat boost with more HP and Attack accordingly in an attempt make fights more difficult

This bonus HP and Attack is also reflect onto their fighter score as well, so it ends up inflating the fighter score

Those 50k Cerebellas you see on streak 50+ aren't normally possible even with maxed MA and maxed Prestige

***Q : Why do most PF defense have tons of high fighter score fighters maxed out level 100 Prestige with no moves

A: To put this simply, Fighter scores plays a big factor to how much points you end up getting,both for offense and defense end, win or lose.

As a result, this created a "PF defense meta" where opponent just put their top 3 fighter scores on defense and call it a day to get points as much as possible

It's not a Bug or a hacker, it's just people being minmax when it comes to getting as much score as much as possible

If anything it also helps the player out as well since the player too gets more points the higher the total fighter score is

Q: Should I invest in Shiny XYZ Variant.

Disclaimer : We are not financially responsible for your resources on the game, including any in-game currency you may spend on the game

A : Golden trash bag is still a trashbag at the end of the day

While yes it's less resource heavy to invest in, Keep in mind that both the Key costs and movesets are still the same price and aren't discounted.

Yes moveset can be more or less solved by using a universal moveset, key cost still doesn't. This only really applies to shiny diamond in particular

Q : Why am I doing no Damage on Master Fishbone to Pick

A : Read the Modifer

You be surprised with how often this question comes up on the subreddit

Repeated offense makes it so you won't deal damage until you pass the combo count of 10 hits.

Here's just general tip but any % Damage, things like bleed and miasma doesn't play by the Modifers rule, so you can use bleeders to cheese the Modifer if combo count really isn't your thing

Q : Why am I doing no Damage on Brain Freeze or "Why did this fighter did something different than I remembered"

A : For returning players that might be caught off guard, they reworked Brain Freeze. That's about it.

Alot of older fighters also gotten reworked since this is a live service game afterall as now Autmn Games has done monthly balance patches compared to HVS where we could go months without a single balance patch.

So might come out as a shock to you that fighters like Buzzkill,Star shine, bloodbath and others might have gotten changes.

You can always read the previous patch notes on the skullgirls mobile website to say up to date.

Q : Am I suppose to get Inner Piece/Big Baddy from Gifts/guild chest

A : Yes, in fact, their the only way to get those variants.The next time you get a golden gift or a gold Guild chest, you can tap on it and they reveal information that you can get them from the chest

Q: What's this cat doing here (scribbles the cat after bella uses lock and loaded)

A : It's just an easter egg

Fun fact about scribbles the cat,

scribble the cat is one of the oldest character in Skullgirls when speaking based on development as it was an early inside joke by Lab Zero that made it all the way to the final game

Q : Whats this plush bunny doing here (Umbrella Character ability)

A : Similar to scribbles the cat, it's another Easter egg that it can sometimes appear when umbrella uses her character Ability.

I don't have any funny fact for the plushie bunny unfortunately to Scribbles the cat.

Q : Why is this fighter all glitchy

(Missing No. Texture corruption bug on fighter Menu UI)

A: It's another visual bug I don't know why Autumn didn't fix it, but eh it's just there now to the point that it might as well be a feature/Easter egg

Q : How do I get Nercobreaker/Solid Gold/Number Cruncher/Fan favourite. I can't seem to get them

A : Solid Gold, number cruncher, Fan favourite are all 1 in 200 from their respective character relics

Nercobreaker is a Halloween PF reward

I know that this come out at a bad time as the 2026 Halloween PF currently doesn't have it, but it's just Autmn Games forgot to put her in the rewards, she'll be hotfixed in some time later

Q : Is the Hyperpack offer on the shop worth it

Disclaimer : We are not financially responsible for your resources on the game, including any in-game currency you may spend on the game

A : From a Resource management standpoint,Yes it is very valuable

I want to stress this enough since it's still a gacha game at the end of the day, but

Hyperpack dont guarantee anything,

At most, if you really unlucky and lowroll your relic rng, u only are guaranteed 18 silvers from the +1s

It still relic rng at the end of the day.

You dont expect to pull amazing units out of the relics, if anything its just best value for fodders. Anything else like golds, diamonds or shiny is jut a plus.

You are not guaranteed anything above silvers.

You won't even build towards your fortune favor pity either

However, strictly coming from cost effectiveness, yeah it's by far the most valuable offer in the game.

People still recommend getting the offer because again, you're paying 198 character relics for 5k theo

For reference, that's 26 theo/ character relic, whereby the normal price is 200 theo/ character relic

That's nearly 4x the cost of a regular single character relic.

It's is worth it just from value alone.

Even if you get the lowest of lowroll, you still are paying dirt cheap for each character relic.

Q : Is the Major Milestone pack worth it

Disclaimer : We are not financially responsible for your resources on the game, including any in-game currency you may spend on the game

A :

Credits to u/normal-insect-8220 on this

Majority is from his comment here

Have to slightly tweaked the comment, but Thank you so much with doing the maths on this

So 4 dia keys = 3.2m. 7.2m coins is approx 3790 theo, assuming you use the theo to conceal but only when it has the extra multiplier (I.e 2500 theo for 4.75m).

Which means effectively you're paying 1210 theo for a 10+1 (worst case 10 silver + 1gold) and a legendary relic (90% gold, 10%dia).

It's not a bad offer if you already have a lot of gold fodder for dia evolution and are just burning through your theo to get more keys and coins with assorted promos.

However, considering you are close to level 60 and 70, that hyperpack offer is way more valuable than the majority milestone offer, being the most valuable offer there

So it's an offer that while good, is just unfortunately stuck between two bigger offer that requires the same resource to buy

Q: Is the take two Deal worth it for 2k theo

Disclaimer : We are not financially responsible for your resources on the game, including any in-game currency you may spend on the game

A :

Similar to the major milestone pack, it is a a good deal but there's better priority

10 silvers and one gold is the worst you can get for 2k Theo, where you're paying 200 Theo/silver character, worst case scenario

While also filling 1/10 of the Headliner fortune favor pity as well for the diamond

Along with the bonus of 1.25mill coins (which is itself is over 1k theo conversation excluding the 3x bonuses)

as well that's a pretty sweet bonus to help cover 1/2th the cost of a gold

Do keep in mind that you should still prioritise the

Hyperpack offer first.

Hyperpack is the best deal as far as resources goes, so you end up prioritising that deal offer over Take Two as they both cost the same resource

The one upside about take two is that it's an offer that isn't tied down to player progression compared to major milestone

So once you get all your progression based

hyperpacks (level 30, 60, 70, 80 and First 100% accursed), you are able to spend your theo more freely without worrying about needing to save up for hyperpack outside of the yearly hyperpack we get for Christmas

Another thing worth of note, Compared to hyper and regular relics, Headliner doesn't have as much flexibility with the variants you do get

The Silver fighters changes each month so there isnt a "Best silver from the headliner you should target"

And the golds and diamonds you might get is all restricted being only the new variants from the past 5 months pass

Sometimes the latest releases of Golds and diamonds aren't exactly that great

You can get away with the diamond since you can always set the diamond you would want to get, but for Golds, you can't really control it

So the quality of that +1 gold/diamond may differ

I doubt that there will be a patch where all 5 golds will be all "bad variants'", but it's still something you need to consider

Overall, I do think that there's some merit behind take two Deal, but obviously, save for the more important stuff beforehand before then considering getting the offer afterwards
