About Skillshot City
Skillshot City drops players into a chaotic battle‑royale city where they loot, shoot, cast spells and drive. Matches consist of three ultra‑fast rounds, each ending with a high‑stakes showdown, and the final round decides the winner.
The game mixes roguelite skill builds with infinite revives: each level‑up offers a choice between two random skills, and dead players become zombies that can still loot or revive a survivor before the final showdown. Play solo, duo or trio and climb the ranks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Roguelite Skill Builds
When you level up you are presented with two randomly generated skills, such as Invisibility or Bouncing Bullets, and you pick one to add to your build for that match. This creates a different combination each game and forces on‑the‑fly decision making.
New abilities can be unlocked between matches, expanding the pool of possible skills. Once unlocked, you can equip them so they appear more often in future matches, encouraging long‑term theorycrafting.
- Try contrasting skill pairs to discover unexpected synergies.
- Note which skill choices let you survive longer and consider similar types in later rounds.
02 / THE GUIDE
Three Ultra‑Fast Rounds
A match is split into three rounds, each lasting about five minutes. Winners of the first two rounds earn the right to choose unique modifiers that affect the remainder of the match.
The third round’s winner claims overall victory, making every round a high‑stakes mini‑battle within the larger match and keeping the pace constantly intense.
- Prioritize early‑round performance to gain modifier control.
- Adjust your skill choices between rounds to counter the modifiers you or opponents select.

03 / THE GUIDE
Zombie Revivals
If you die you continue playing as a zombie, able to loot for the next round or hunt survivors. This keeps you in the action without returning to the main menu.
While zombie, you can still influence the match by gathering items or reviving a survivor before the final showdown, adding a secondary layer of strategy after death.
- Focus zombie looting on items that could help your team later.
- Target isolated survivors to increase the chance of a successful revival.

Unlockable Classes and Skills
The game offers eight distinct classes, each with its own playstyle. Over 100 unique skills, classes, and round modifiers can be unlocked between matches, shaping future skill pools.
Unlocked abilities can be equipped so they appear more frequently, allowing players to steer the random skill choices toward preferred strategies over time.
- Rotate through different classes to see which best matches your preferred skill combos.
- Prioritize unlocking classes that complement the types of skills you enjoy using.
05 / THE GUIDE
Single‑Player / Co‑Op Survival Mode
Beyond the battle‑royale, a solo or cooperative survival mode provides leaderboards and custom difficulty modifiers, giving a non‑competitive space to practice the same skill‑building mechanics.
Because the mode uses the same skill system, you can experiment with risky combos or new classes in a separate survival setting.
- Use survival mode to test high‑risk skill builds before entering battle‑royale.
- Compete for leaderboard spots to gauge how efficiently your builds perform.
