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.
| Builder problem | Start with | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| The move fires too early or too late | Wait, Timing references | The second mark where the hitbox, grab, VFX, or cancel should happen |
| The move needs to damage or stun | Hitbox | Position, size, attack type, blockability, damage, stun, and branch triggers |
| The move needs a projectile | Projectile | Projectile Tag, then matching Visual, Sound, or Hitbox rows |
| The move needs air, hold, or form logic | Conditions, Branch | The true and false side of the condition before adding more nodes |
| The whole move should change access rules | Properties | Visibility, replacement, interrupt, automatic-use, and Variant Tag settings |
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.
Timing references are move-specific windows for windups, hitboxes, grabs, VFX, domains, and full-move points. Treat them as builder timing help, not as guaranteed combat frame data.
FAQ
Q.
How many Skill Builder rows are listed for Jujutsu Shenanigans?
There are 115 rows: 20 Timeline nodes, 9 Conditions, 13 Properties, 25 Variant triggers, and 48 Timing references.
Q.
Where do you open Skill Builder?
Skill Builder opens from Build Mode through custom Moveset, Awakening, Special, or Character Block editing. Ability name, cooldown, and key bind are edited from the block menu, not from the timeline row itself.
Q.
What should a beginner add first in Skill Builder?
Start with Wait, Skill or Animation, and Hitbox so the move has timing, motion, and an effect that can be tested. Add Branch, Condition, Sound, Visual, Projectile, and Property rows after the basic sequence works.
Q.
Are the timing rows exact frame data?
No. The timing rows are builder timing references for waits, hitboxes, grabs, VFX, domains, and full-move points. Ping, asset loading, and Skill Builder bugs can still change how a custom move feels in testing.
Q.
Why are Known Tricks not counted as normal rows?
Known Tricks are examples and experiments, and some are marked as possibly outdated or purposeless. Stable trick details belong as caveats or use notes only when they clearly attach to a normal node, setting, variant trigger, or timing row.
Q.
What usually breaks a custom move first?
Bad timing usually breaks the move before missing polish does. Check Wait length, Hitbox position and size, Branch conditions, Projectile Tags, Visual Tags, and cancel timing before adding more effects.
