Encounters Smash Battles Bot Mode

Encounters Smash Battles Bot Mode guide. AI difficulty settings, Gem farming, and combat practice against computer opponents.

Bot Mode pits you against AI-controlled opponents with adjustable difficulty: Easy, Medium, or Hard. Unlike Training's stationary dummy, bots fight back — making this the bridge between practice and real player matches.

Bot wins award Gems but do not affect trophy rank. This makes Bot Mode the safest Gem farming method for players still learning combos and recovery.

Difficulty Settings

Easy: Bots rarely Guard or recover. Ideal for your first ten matches after the tutorial.

Medium: Bots use abilities and basic edge-guarding. Good for testing new champions.

Hard: Bots Guard, combo, and recover competently. Simulates low-to-mid ranked play.

Bot matches use a single-life format unlike the four-life ranked modes. Treat each round as an all-or-nothing duel.

Bot Farming Routine

  1. Redeem codes from our working codes list for starting Gems.
  2. Play five Easy bot wins to learn your champion's Basic combo timing.
  3. Switch to Medium for ten matches — practice Guard and recovery under pressure.
  4. Move to 2v2 or FFA once you win Medium consistently.
