Block Tales Battle Simulator
Getting a battle running
StepBTBS gives you full control before the battle starts. Set everything up carefully, because some badge requirements check your configuration the moment the fight begins.
- Build your character choose a level and equip whichever badges you want for this run.
- Configure the enemy pick the enemy or enemies you want to face and adjust their settings in the edit menu.
- Start the battle once configuration matches your goal, launch the fight.
Common restrictions that disqualify badge runs
CheckSeveral badges share the same banned items or caps. Knowing the pattern saves you from restarting runs repeatedly.
- Custom Cards are banned for Boss Rush, Peak Performance, Who's The Champion Now?, Hardest Hits, and A Deprecated Body.
- Developer Items are banned for Boss Rush, Peak Performance, Who's The Champion Now?, and Hardest Hits.
- Feel Fine is banned for Who's The Champion Now?, Hardest Hits, and A Deprecated Body.
- BP is capped at 30 for Boss Rush and A Deprecated Body.
- Level is capped at 24 for Boss Rush.
- Hard Mode must be equipped by every player in the party for Hardest Hits one person missing it makes the badge unobtainable.
The two Price Paid in Full badges
TableBoth badges involve beating Tutorial Terry, but the conditions are very different. If you violate a Strict-only rule, you win the original badge rather than nothing, so the attempt is never a total loss.
| Original version | kill Terry without editing his HP, moveset, or damage multiplier in the edit menu. |
| Strict version | all of the above, plus: damage multiplier must be at least 1, HP cannot be set below 1 million (500k in a four-player lobby), no more than four enemies total, Terry cannot have a status weakness changed or an item given to him, and ten specific status effects cannot be pre-applied through the menu. |
| Summon rule (Strict only) | you cannot spawn with a summon already active, though you can summon one after the battle starts. |
| Official hint for both | max out your summon's damage multiplier and apply the Concentration effect at its maximum level. |
| Clicking the edit button next to any of Terry's moves locks the Strict badge for that session | delete him and re-add him to reset this. |
Badges that require another badge first
WarnTwo of the hardest badges in the game are gated behind Clocked Out Permanently. There is no way around this order.
Boss Rush preparation

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if I break one of the Strict rules when fighting Tutorial Terry?
You will earn the original Price Paid in Full badge instead of the Strict version. The run is not wasted, but you will need a clean attempt to get the Strict badge.
Can I attempt Who's The Champion Now? right away?
No. You need the Clocked Out Permanently badge first, which you earn by defeating the Board Members.
What does completing the Outrageous Battle give me?
You receive the Outrageous Battle badge and the battle's theme is added to the Jukebox.
Is BTBS an official Block Tales or ROLVe product?
No. The game states it has no affiliation with the Block Tales or ROLVe developers. It is an independent sandbox built purely for testing custom battles.
