Battle challenge
Battle challenges are an activity in Castle Town. Hosted by Jigsaw Joe, the party can partake in battles against various opponents.
The battles in the dojo are purely for training, and do not affect the party's recruits. After each challenge, the party's HP is completely healed.

In the battle, Jigsaw Joe tells the party to ACT and spare on the same turn, because sparing otherwise does not work (after shaving Joe's beard, it regrows next turn). After sparing him once, he returns to remind the party that making an enemy tired and pacifying on the same turn works as well. The party can also attack Jigsaw Joe directly; he complains that this is not the way to Spare an enemy, but because a win is a win, he still rewards them.
A Jigsawry attacks the SOUL with white attack puzzle pieces. The SOUL must graze the bullets to reach 100% TP to complete the challenge. Getting hit once immediately fails the challenge. The Jigsawry gradually speeds up the rate that puzzle pieces fire as the TP percent rises and as time goes on. It remains the Jigsawry's turn until 100% TP is reached.
A slightly different Clover battle, which is harder than combat with Clover in Chapter 1. It is the only Chapter 2 battle to use the Chapter 1 damage calculation formula.
A regular Tasque Manager battle without the Tasques surrounding her. When the party gets hit, Tasque Manager gives them an X, and after 4 turns during which the party was not hit Tasque Manager gives the party an O. After receiving three X, the battle ends unsuccessfully, and after receiving three O the challenge is successfully complete.
Battle against most recruits from the Cyber World, in several waves:
- Two Werewires
- Poppup, Ambyu-Lance, and Virovirokun
- Two Tasques and a Maus
- Three Swatchlings, all different colors
- Two Werewerewires
In Chapter 4, all the challenges from Chapter 2 are no longer available.
A rematch with Lanino and Elnina, with the ball bouncing mechanic from Tenna's fight being the main attack and spare mechanic.
The party battles against the Trashy Trio, consisting of Nubert, Trashy, and the ball. This challenge is only available if every enemy in previous Chapters was recruited. Nubert refuses to battle the party if there are any missing recruits. Jigsaw Joe will refuse to begin the challenge until Susie is in the party.
