How to Use Skill Builder V2 in The Strongest Battlegrounds

The Skill Builder V2 system in The Strongest Battlegrounds lets players create fully custom moves using animations, hitboxes, effects, sounds, projectiles, counters, and more.

If the editor feels confusing at first, don’t worry. Most of the complexity comes from learning how timelines and hitboxes work together.

Gauntlet Validator Explained

One of the most important tools is the:

• Gauntlet Validator

This tool:

• Detects broken move setups

Understanding the Timeline

The timeline controls:

Everything must sync properly.

Bad timing causes:

• Delayed damage
• Broken combos
• Weird knockback
• Unnatural animations

How Animations Work

You can either:

• Create custom animations
• Use preset animations

Creating Your Own Animation

Move body parts on the timeline to create motion.

Example:

• Move arm at Frame 1
• Move arm lower at Frame 20
• Play animation

The editor automatically transitions between poses.

These timeline points are called:

• Keyframes

Using Preset Animations

If you don’t want to animate manually:

• Load preset animations

Examples include:

• Kicks
• Punches
• Slams
• Weapon attacks

Simply drag an animation into the timeline.

Move Settings Explained
