Skullgirls Mobile - Newbie Guide Ep.5: Farming

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Update 4.3 has also given us accolades and deployments, which are additional sources of exp, coin, relics and much more! However, at the end of the day, your main source of in game resources are still going to be the ones mentioned in the video. :)
Of course, none of my videos are complete without corrections in the description!
1.) Exp penalty from repeat attempts have apparently been removed. I do still think that high streak prize fights are the best way to farm exp!
I'm numbering these on the assumption that more corrections are incoming lmfao sorry guys
Daily Event Canopy Coin Yield (100% completion, excludes selling moves)
Basic: 22,400
Advanced: 31,400
Expert: 40,400
Master: 45,400
So multiply the total by 14, you get close to 2 million canopy coin weekly just from dailies. Prize fight milestones and medici prize fights push that total closer to 3 million.

I've played skull girls for about a year and I've never done research about the game, all I did was wing it but then I had the motivation to search for guides and I found yours. I binged watch all 5 eps you have and found them very helpful, you are a great guide creator and deserve more subs. God speed!

[@yujipoojisgm4271]

thanks so much! more to come!

[@hildrethgeena]

Another way that I use to get diamond keys is by logging in everyday. After logging in for 22 days in a row you get one diamond key. A long wait, yes, but as a player who spends their coins on upgrading fighters and rift coins for Catalysts and shards I'm more than happy waiting for a free diamond key :] As always, great video, Yuji! Very informational and helpful for long time players as well! :D

[@yujipoojisgm4271]

That is correct! However, with login rewards giving many different types of rewards, mentioning it for one resource forces me to mention it for every other resource, and my video is already uncomfortably long so I chose not to include it :(

[@hildrethgeena]

@@yujipoojisgm4271 No worries! I had a feeling the whole topic of 'Daily Log-in Rewards' would need it's own video or own section because there is a whole lot of rewards in those 24 days to grab. :]

[@ZeoW17]

Main takeaway: you CAN reach the top with just time and effort, the game has loads of freebies as long as you keep grindin'. That last bit was much appreciated!

Thank you for your guides, Yujipooji. I was really just progressing randomly and trying to make use of what I get throughout my game but with your guides, I'll be sure to take notes of each to properly progress on my game 👍

For exp farming, I recently beat Peacock's Master Origin story, and I've found that repeating the boss node is easier exp for me than prize fights, 95-100k per fight after xp booster.

[@XmortoxX1990]

the finale message about "Hard works pays out" was great. Ty for the newbie farming tips

[@FranciFire]

A little method I use in my exp farming is that if you don't feel confident you can hold a prize fight streak while piggybacking one or two characters or you can't reach higher streaks there's another way of farming great amounts of exp: If you have completed Peacock master origin story you can replay the final boss node and use your strongest peacock while piggybacking another figher: I personally use Pea Shooter with a 9k fighter score and, except when I'm levelling up a gold fighter, I always get an 80% longshot which gives me about 51k of exp each time. This is indeed the safest way to farm exp but it's no way the easiest since it's a 57.1k battle, so it will take you some time practicing before pulling off a win each time (the first times you'll definetly going to lose more times than you win, but eventually it'll be a 75% wins, not 100% because bullshit happens), but I should warn you about a thing: the three enemy fighters, Peacock Dream Catcher, Parasoul Summer Salt and Eliza Mummy Dearest all have tier 3 blockbusters so you'll need to shut them down before it's too late or be lucky and hope they don't trigger it, but especially be aware of Mummy Dearest since she's tankier and her special ability makes her charge her tier 3 blockbuster insanely fast using a special move and sacrificing part of her and her teammates' health, so save YOUR tier 3 blockbuster and burn that witch down fast. But yeah, apart from the hellish start and the BB3 rng it's a pretty safe way to level up your fighters insanely fast without risking anything! Edit: I just remember that there’s also the modifier in which you’ll die if you stand next a teammate/opponent’s corpse and if you kill an opponent standing near his teammate’s corpse it will resurrect the latter with 50% health, so yeah, there’s also that, but hey! You’ll get used to it and that’s a ton of exp each time so... it’s worth it in the end!

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

my biggest issue is with how slow this process is. Getting past bronze only is pretty quick. It's when you start getting silvers that sucks. They're not much stronger, if at all, yet they take FOREVER to level up. Silvers need some tweaks imo to decrease the grind a little bit. Gold and Dia should be where the real grind begins imo. The grind for silvers doesn't equate to their strength, considering there are a few bronzes that outclass a character's entire silver lineup

4.3 is gonna change how the majority of us farm xp, forever. The new deployment sure is handy. Im looking forward to that since prize fight has been the only consistant resource of xp (for me and yuji atleast).

[@overlordalfredo]

It didn't change a whole lot. Because you can only do 5 per day and it takes forever for a relatively small amount of exp. It nice to have but it's no replacement for PF grinding

[@rainbuckets]

I don’t think this video is complete without mentioning Energy Refills, particularly the EXP and Skill Point section. Energy Refills, if you have enough of them, are the most powerful way to enhance Piggybacking, even more than double XP boosters. I am still a new player and I have plenty - I used 40 of them today in a (very stupid haha) day-long marathon and still have 40 left. This is also perhaps the most powerful argument that, after beating Expert or so story mode, the next step for players should be to bite the bullet and upgrade 1 or maybe 3 fighters as much as possible. “Going deep” to the extreme. It should be a fighter who will not require too much investment for the level, while still being a powerful enough 1v3 attacker. (So not support stuff and probably not a diamond?) The goal is to Piggyback as hard as possible in Prize Fights and Story reruns. I personally used Silent Kill Valentine as my MVP. I consider her in hindsight extraordinarily well-suited for this task; natural Gold so easier to upgrade than Diamond while having good stats; enough attack output with CVs to beat even 60k teams under the time limit; abilities grant a very wide coverage of common mechanics (she survives debuffs from enemies and mods and turns them to Regen with ICU, she counters enemy buffs, her CV allows for slight meter control), and she’s very forgiving to play (plenty of HP for mistakes, easy combos, Mort Drop into CV spam is great). The general piggyback strategy is the same as described. But because the power is focused into one unit instead of spread across a team, that means you can make the most of piggybacking and energy refills. It costs just 1 refill to fight 5-6 times, and you have 2 free piggyback spots. The rotation is Prize Fight x2 (8 pf energy), whatever the best story mode you can clear is x3 (9 story energy), then hopefully in the time to beat those you’ve refilled 2 more pf energy and can fight a 3rd battle. Always use with a double XP boost. This cycle can give 20-30k exp for each prize fight and 10-15k exp for each story mode fight, easily, totaling 90-135k exp per piggybacker, for 1 refill. Because the two piggybackers are almost certainly leveling up every time, they do not need a refill ever. (SK Valentine could quickly clear a 16k node in Expert for me.) Because we “go deep” to such an extreme, we can easily piggyback our next two strongest fighters to a high level by jump starting them with Refills and double XP (using at the same time doubles the gains of each refill; 10 refills under double XP is the same as 20 refills without). Assuming we can otherwise clear a good amount of weaker content, since this is mainly for after beating most of expert story mode imo, then the other resources we might be missing out on by “going deep” to the extreme (aka not being able to beat XYZ because of restrictions), are probably a fair trade off. What’s more, we can very quickly build up an actual team by piggybacking 2 of them with 1 MVP, so “going deep” here quickly pays off by giving back some “going wider” fighters too. At this point the reliance on Refills might drop off, since we now have 3 capable fighters to cycle, and can turn that into 5 fighters soon. In fact as your collection grows and strengthens, the need for refills decreases over time, because you have more total energy and more total fighters. Early game jump starting is imo the single most important thing to get right with using refills wisely. This is NOT a flawless strategy. The biggest concern is investing in a “bad” unit or not being able to clear the prize fights consistently because of player skill or said “bad” unit. So it’s important to ask other players (smarter than me) who you should be hyper focusing on if you want to do this.
