Description

Challenge Battles are a series of battles (or one in the case of the two crossover DLC battles) Caroline and Justine host in order to test the protagonist's skill. The objective of the game is to gain as many points as possible by defeating enemies, using mechanics, and completing the battle as fast as possible. Obtaining a certain amount of points will reward the protagonist with items and Skill Cards. There are 9 Challenge Battles unlocked in the game, with 4 more battles that are bought as DLC, including battles against the protagonists of Persona 3 and Persona 4. These battles can be done at any time when the protagonist is in the Velvet Room and talks to the twins. When doing a battle, it does not consume any HP or SP, but does consume items if used in battle.
