An object selection method, applied to a terminal, is provided. A graphic user interface including at least one virtual object is displayed. At least one candidate virtual object to which a skill is released, is determined from the at least one virtual object according to an object selection instruction, to obtain a candidate object set. A deviation parameter of each candidate virtual object in the candidate object set is obtained, the deviation parameter being relative to a reference object. At least one target virtual object to which the skill is released is selected, from the candidate object set according to the deviation parameter.
