Battles can | Most spirits can be obtained via Spirit Battles, which appear similar to the thematic missions seen in [[Event Matches]] and {{forwiiu}}{{'}}s [[Special Orders]]. Battles can randomly appear on the [[Spirit Board]] and/or be accessible in [[World of Light]]. Each Spirit Battle contains unique challenges and rules. The spirits that are battled against will be paired with puppet fighters of a similar personality and/or appearance, with the battle's rules, conditions, stage and music track often being reflective of the spirit itself. During all battles against spirits, the Final Smash Meter will be active, and certain spirits can make the gauge fill up faster or slow the rate the enemy's gauge fills at. If there are more than one opponent, then the battle will either be a [[team battle]] with [[team attack]] turned off, or a horde battle similar to the ones seen in {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. Occasionally, a CPU ally will engage the battle with the player as well. Like in Classic Mode, the player is always given only one stock, unlike with aforementioned game modes in previous games. The battle is won when the victory conditions are met, such as defeating all opponents are surviving for long enough. | ||
Before each Spirit Battle, the two sides' strengths will be compared. The higher the player's advantage over the spirit, the easier the battle will be, but fewer rewards will be earned if the player's strength is significantly greater than the spirit's. The player's strength is dictated by the spirit team the player has the option to use. This team can include one primary spirit and 0 to 3 support spirits depending on the number of slots the primary spirit possesses and the number of slots each support spirit fills. The player can manually choose the spirits for a team, or they can press they [[Y button]] for the game to automatically create what it calculates to be the most optimal spirit team for the specific battle. Factors for spirit selection include the rules and strength of the spirit battle, the fighter the player uses, the amount of slots the primary spirit possesses, and the abilities of each spirit, all while creating the minimum strength team possible. The player can also use no spirits if they wish. | Before each Spirit Battle, the two sides' strengths will be compared.

There are | There are [[Support Item]]s one can earn or purchase to make the spirit obtaining process easier. Examples include slow [[Final Smash Meter]] Charging, draining the health of opponents, making minions weaker, disabling items, and dealing a collective 50% damage split among all enemies. | ||
One can also battle other players locally in versus matches with spirits equipped, working in a similar manner to [[character customization]] from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. As of version 2.0.0, up to four players can engage in a Spirit Board battle at once, and both the difficulty of the fight and the rewards for completion will be scaled accordingly; however, the battle will end in failure if any human player is KO'd. | One can also battle other players locally in versus matches with spirits equipped, working in a similar manner to [[character customization]] from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

Defeating a spirit in battle does not guarantee its acquisition. Once a spirit battle has ended, the player is taken to a shooting-style minigame where the player character holds a special weapon and the main opponent of the battle is in a stunned pose with heavily desaturated colors. A cyan shield with a small gap circles around the opponent in an attempt to prevent the spirit from being acquired. The player must shoot through the gap to acquire the spirit. If the player mistimes the shot, they will shoot the shield instead and the minigame will end with no spirit acquired. However, the next time the player battles that specific spirit, the portion of the shield that was shot will be removed, making each successive attempt easier than the last. Spirit Points can also be spent for one additional attempt per battle. The player can also use items to make the minigame easier, including slowing down the shield rotation and instantly removing a large portion of the shield. Only one of each item can be used per battle. These items are randomly rewarded in certain modes and occasionally available in the shop. | Defeating a spirit in battle does not guarantee its acquisition.
