Game Update 8.67 Patch Notes - "Shiny Part Deux"
Most Requested: A Shiny Remaster!

To mark the anniversary of one of our most popular releases, April 2024, we’ve decided to give everyone yet another opportunity to earn shiny Surgeon General and Model Leader Annie. We have reworked them to be even better than ever. Some would even call it a remaster.
Surgeon General Valentine
We’ve made adjustments to better reinforce Surgeon General’s role as a sustain-focused support.
OLD:
Healing effects trigger under specific conditions and reward proper debuff management.
NEW:
- Surgeon General now will mark dying teammates that are just “too far gone” with a red lipstick X on their forehead and move on.
- Excess healing is now converted into additional health.
- Teammates have the option to stop and stare at the shiny effect for additional healing.
- Opponents will now be dazed if a shiny effect is too close for too long.
Developer Note:
We felt Surgeon General was slightly underperforming in situations where players were losing. This should address that.
Model Leader Annie
We’ve adjusted Model Leader Annie to better support team survivability and reduce reliance on timing.
OLD:
Grants defensive utility and revival effects when conditions are met.
NEW:
- Model Leader Annie now prevents teammates from being defeated without prior approval
- If a teammate would be defeated, they instead reconsider and continue fighting
- REVIVE effects now trigger before defeat, during defeat, and after defeat
- If defeat still occurs, it is reversed and reviewed internally
- Blockbusters used by Annie now provide emotional support to the team
- Teammates gain IMMUNITY, ARMOR, and a renewed sense of purpose
- Opponents defeated by Annie are now encouraged to reflect on their performance
Developer Note:
We wanted Model Leader Annie to feel more reliable in high pressure scenarios. Players should now feel confident that losing is significantly less likely, but in the event of such occurrence, it will be dealt with.
AGSoQ (AUTUMN GAMES SEAL OF QUALITY)

We are proud to take a community suggestion that also appeared during last April. Which is stamping certain releases with the "Official Autumn Games Seal of Quality". This is definitely a release if not one of those releases.
-Autumn Games Team
Features
- Players can now send “Encouragement” to friends after difficult matches as either standard pink encouragement or premium gold encouragement.
- New “Seen” indicator has been added to gifts.
- Matchmaking has been improved so that players will now only face opponents they emotionally feel ready for.
- Idle animations now include subtle judgment upon fatal mistakes.
- The game has become too difficult for us to play, so we’re making 6-7X speed Auto Battle mode the only way to play. Enjoy the stress-free experience of Skullgirls at the fastest it’s ever been.
Chat Updates
We’ve got some exciting news about our chat rework! Starting with this patch, we’ve introduced special Skullgirls emoji to the chat feature! Everyone will start with 2 emojis (“Thumbs Up Beowulf” and “Green Circle”) and more can be purchased for $14.99 USD each in the store. Please check out our other updates to chat below.
- All channels have been merged into channel 0. We believe everyone should have the full chat experience with everyone in one place and be able to live together in perfect harmony. Be respectful and wait your turn to chat.
- Chat is now emoji-mode only.
Economy Updates
- Canopy Coins now scale with player intent.
- The Key Relic now requires a key to open.
Relic Updates
- Relic opening animations have been automatically skipped because on the first frame, we already know what you’re going to get, so the animation will skip itself.
- Duplicate fighters will now arrive faster than ever.
- Opening multiple relics in a row now builds better character
- The Premiere Relic has challenged the Headliner Relic to a fight and are now playable characters. Whichever one is defeated results in a relic pull for the opponent.
Balance Updates
- Removed Unholy Host Black Dahlia from the game.
- All edge cases have been resolved.
- Re-added Unholy Host Black Dahlia to the game.
Known issues
- Cabinet of Curiosities is still refreshing once every 4 hours instead of the community's requested 24 hours.
- Occasionally when defeating Advanced Who's the Boss? Under the Bridge node 11, players receive 12,000,000 Canopy Coins instead of the expected 120.
- Pink Social Gifts are still being sent and received by players.
- Occasionally players ask r/skullgirlsmobile for investment help while our official Skullgirls Mobile tier list exists.
- Players with physically larger phones currently deal more damage with all attacks.
- The Undying Event turns into a Dying Event if hit hard enough.
