Hey everyone! Welcome to the Skullgirls Mobile 6.5 update!
We hope you’ve been enjoying the features introduced in Update 6.4 and are delighted with the improved auto-battle, the quicker, slicker fight transitions, and, of course, our not-at-all controversial Tier List! We appreciate your support and feedback as Skullgirls Mobile rolls into the twilight evenings and cool nights of the fall season!
Update 6.5 has arrived!
Though a little smaller in scale than our previous release, 6.5 contains a glut of exciting updates for SGM while also laying the groundwork for our upcoming Guest Stars feature! The release is mostly focused on in-game fixes and visual optimizations and the exciting debut of six brand-new Monthly Fighters!
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s covered in these update notes:
NEW MONTHLY FIGHTERS
Over the coming three months, six new Monthly Fighters will make their way into the world of Skullgirls Mobile, each equipped with unique offensive and defensive abilities to shake up the make up of your favorite teams!
Each month sees the arrival of a new Gold and Diamond Fighter, both of which can be pulled from in-game Event Relics. In addition, each month’s Gold Fighter can be earned by completing the All Access Track of that month’s Backstage Pass!
The six new Monthly Fighters are as follows:
October: Near Death (Diamond) - Spell-Bent (Gold)
November: Masked Menace (Diamond) - Chaos Theory (Gold)
December: Locked In (Diamond) - Pickle Baller (Gold)
Handsome bunch, huh? In addition to their dazzling appearance, each of the new Diamond Fighters are equipped with extra visual flourishes to make them shine in the midst of combat!
While each pairing will arrive on a monthly basis, players may be lucky enough to get a sneak peek at all six Fighters before their official release. All six newcomers can be spotted lurking in the Recruitment Nodes of Parallel Realms, or you may bump into them during random battles dotted throughout Skullgirls Mobile! If you manage to spot one early, be sure to take a screenshot and let us know on our socials!
SHARD EXCHANGE STORE
Did you miss out on your favorite monthly Fighter during our 6.3-6.4 seasons? Well, here’s some good news, the six scrappers who debuted in those updates will be making their way into the Shard Exchange Store! If you have stock of Gold and Diamond shards, then you can exchange them for that special Fighter who may have eluded you in recent months.
Palace Plunderer, Grave Danger, Hell’s Belle, Reimaged, Mekastar, and Furmidable will all appear in the Shard Exchange Store over the coming months!
Gold Fighters cost 5,000 Gold Relic Shards. Diamond Fighters cost 5,000 Diamond Relic Shards.
Here’s the schedule of upcoming Fighter availability:

VIEWING PARLOR
We’ve made some changes to the Viewing Parlor, removing the cooldown and juicing up the available rewards! Prizes including Canopy Coins, Theonite, Medium & Large XP Treats, and a variety of Relics can now be earned from watching the parlor’s videos! In addition, prizes such as these can also be earned from Reward Pop-Ups - These are occasional in-app offers that will similarly gift players in return for watching short videos.
You can find the Viewing Parlor at the bottom-right of the Main Menu. So turn on, tune in, and bag some freebies today! (Just don’t interrupt Patricia’s favorite shows, ya big palooka.)
