All 115 Skill Builder Nodes in Jujutsu Shenanigans: What Does Each Setting Do?

Skill Builder rows are the parts that turn a Jujutsu Shenanigans custom move from a normal copied skill into a working sequence. Timeline nodes decide what happens and when, Conditions decide when a branch can run, Properties change the whole move, Variant triggers recreate special move behavior, and Timing references help line up waits, hitboxes, visuals, grabs, and cancels.

How Skill Builder rows fit into a custom move

Skill Builder opens through custom moveset, awakening, special, or character editing in Build Mode. The timeline is the move's spine: Wait sets delays, Skill and Special reuse existing moves, Animation controls pose and motion, Hitbox creates damage or stun, Velocity moves the user or target, and Branch splits the sequence into alternate paths. Sound and Visual make the move feel finished after the core timing works.

Conditions and Properties sit around that timeline. Conditions decide whether a branch is allowed to run, such as only in the air, only while awakened, only with a target, or only above a health threshold. Properties decide broader rules, such as whether a move stays through a moveset switch, hides in base or awakening, activates on death, ignores cancellation, or uses a tag to bypass cooldown and skill checks.

What to test before adding more effects

Build the move in layers. First test the core sequence with Wait, Skill or Animation, and Hitbox so you know the target can actually be reached. Then add Branch or Condition logic. Add Sound and Visual last, especially if a visual depends on a Projectile Tag, Visual Tag, Last Hit window, or server-side setting.

Several Skill Builder issues affect normal testing. Custom abilities can lag the first time they are used, so a move may feel broken before its assets warm up. Visual rows can cut animations unless a Wait covers the animation length. Hit Cancel can read stun or damage from outside the custom move if its Time setting reaches too far back. Velocity values over about 1000 can jitter, and Grab can teleport the user if the ability ends before the stun check finishes.

How to read variant and timing rows

Variant triggers are setup rows. A Black Flash-style setup might need a 0.3 to 0.4 second wait, while a hold variant can depend on Hold For timing or a required move such as Convergence Orb. Some special chains need several named moves in order, so the related nodes matter as much as the timing value.

Timing references are move-by-move windows. They help answer questions like when Lapse Blue starts pulling, when Divergent Fist reaches the Black Flash window, when Open fires the arrow, or when a grab actually becomes active. Use those rows to place Wait, Hitbox, Branch, Visual, and Cancel behavior closer to the move's real animation instead of guessing from the full move length.

How to Use This Jujutsu Shenanigans Skill Builder Nodes List

Rows are grouped by the Skill Builder section a builder is likely to use first. Node type tells whether the row is a timeline node, condition, property, variant trigger, or timing reference. Purpose gives the plain job of the row. Value type and Default or range explain the setting, threshold, wait window, or toggle shape. Used for says what a builder would normally try to solve with it. Related nodes shows rows that often need to be configured together, while Notes keeps limits, W.I.P. timing, and bug-prone behavior close to the row.
