Encounters Smash Battles Training Mode
Encounters Smash Battles Training Mode guide. Test all champions, practice combos, and learn abilities on the Classic arena dummy.
Training Mode is the safest environment in Encounters Smash Battles. You spawn on the Classic arena with a stationary Construct-shaped dummy that respawns after every hit. Infinite lives let you experiment freely without trophy risk or Gem loss.
This mode is the single most valuable tool for deciding which champion to buy with Gems. Every fighter in the roster is available — use arrow keys to cycle champions without spending currency.
What You Can Practice
Combo routes: Chain Basic → Special → Unique at different damage percentages to find kill confirms.
Energy management: Track how many dashes and jumps you can perform before Energy depletes.
Ultimate timing: Build Charge to 100% and test each champion's Ultimate knockback angle.
Roster scouting: Try locked champions like Titan, Fiona, or Kusanagi before committing Gems.
Training Routine (15 Minutes)
- Pick your main champion. Land 20 Basic combos on the dummy.
- Practice recovery: dash off-stage and jump back without using Ultimate.
- Test two locked champions with arrow keys — note which playstyle fits you.
- Finish with five Ultimate activations to learn knockback angles.
Graduate to Bot Mode once combos feel consistent, then FFA for real match experience.
