Punch Upon a Time Mode Randomizer

Spin the wheel for a random Squad Saga mode.

Last updated:

The Mode Randomizer is an interactive tool that picks a random Squad Saga mode from the full 40+ launch pool. Use it for Practice mode sessions when you want to test your squad against every mode in the rotation without manually queuing each one. The randomizer also weights by mode difficulty so you can run a beginner-friendly practice session or a hard-mode gauntlet.

How to use the Mode Randomizer

  1. Choose a difficulty filter below — Beginner, Intermediate, or Hard.
  2. Click Spin.
  3. The tool picks a random mode from the launch pool and displays the win condition, Pocket Item recommendations, and difficulty rating.
  4. Click Spin again for the next mode.
Pick a difficulty and press Spin to receive a random mode with Pocket Item loadout.

Mode pool

The Mode Randomizer draws from the full 40+ launch pool documented on the Mode List page. The filter dropdown weights the pool by difficulty:

  • Beginner — Basketball, Red-Light-Green-Light, Sumo, Coin Rush, Trivia Tower, Beat the Clock. Use this filter for your first ten practice rounds.
  • Intermediate — adds Hot Potato, Last Squad Standing, Sky Battle, Castle Siege, Crown Capture, Golden Carrots. Use this filter once you feel comfortable with the easy pool.
  • Hard — every mode in the launch pool. Use this filter to test your squad against the hardest modes in the rotation.

Pocket Item recommendations

Every spin displays the recommended Pocket Items for the chosen mode. The recommendations are sourced from the Best Items page and update every patch.

Practice mode integration

The Mode Randomizer pairs with Practice mode for structured training sessions:

  1. Spin the wheel.
  2. Launch the game and enter Practice mode.
  3. Set the mode to the randomizer’s pick.
  4. Practice the recommended Pocket Items and win conditions.
  5. Spin again for the next mode.

A typical training session runs 10–15 rounds and covers 10–15 unique modes. Repeat the session weekly to maintain your mode pool knowledge.
