Most optimal way to do skills and effects

Basically I’m looking for the most optimal way to do skills and effects out there.

Heres a example of how I usually do things and want to know the best way, I appreciate it!

I fire the skill and then send to the server so it can send back to all clients to do effects then when a animation signal is reached I send to the server to do the hitbox.


Found a better way to do effects but I still need to fire to the server twice once for the hitbox and once for the effects and when I fire for effects I have to fireallclients back everytime so I'm not sure if theres a better way for that but now I fire back the skill and it automatically gets the function out of the dictionary that matches.
--Client
local Ani = Animator:LoadAnimation(Script:WaitForChild("Ani")

local function GetSignal(Ani)
    ani:GetMarkerReachedSignal:Connect(function()
        Re:FireServer("GroundSmashHitbox")
    end)
end)

local function Skill()
    Re:FireServer("GroundSmashStarted)
    Ani:Play()
    GetSignal(Ani)
end

Re.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player,Skill)
if Skill == "GroundSmashFX" then
        --DoEffects
    end
end)

Tool.Activated:Connect(function(Skill)
-------------------------------------
--Server
Re.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Skill)
       If Skill == "GroundSmashStarted" then
             Re:FireAllClients(Player,"GroundSmashFX")
       elseif Skill == "GroundSmashHitbox" then
              --Hitbox and damage if a player is found
       end
end)
