Learn how to unlock more targets and use Board Items on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board. Includes spirit types and challenges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Choose a bounty from the Target List. Each bounty is a spirit trapped within a puppet fighter.
  2. 2
    Defeat the fighter to have a chance to free and obtain the spirit.
  3. 3
    As of Ver. 4.0.0, there are 951 spirits to battle, though some require summoning, specific challenges, or prior discovery in Adventure mode.
  4. 4
    The symbol in the top left corner of a spirit's artwork indicates its class: a hexagon for Support Spirits and a larger circle for Primary Spirits. This classification does not affect combat but influences team composition.
  5. 5
    The color of the symbol indicates the spirit's type, which determines strengths and weaknesses: Green (Grab Type) beats Blue (Shield Type), Blue (Shield Type) beats Red (Attack Type), and Red (Attack Type) beats Green (Grab Type). Purple indicates the Neutral type, which has no strengths or weaknesses.
  6. 6
    Only your primary spirit has a type when forming a spirit team; support spirits do not affect your team's type. Opponent support spirits still have types.
  7. 7
    Each spirit on the Target List has a timer; once it expires, the spirit is replaced. Defeating a spirit does not immediately remove it from the list if its timer has not expired.

Unlocking More Targets:

  • You begin with 6 targets. Four padlocks on the edges of the Spirit Board can be unlocked to increase the maximum targets to 10.
  • Battling spirits (winning or losing) will unlock 3 additional targets: after 5 spirits, after 15 spirits, and after 30 spirits.
  • The 'Ice Climbers' challenge reward is unlocking 1 additional target for seeking out a bounty target 30 times. These battles do not need to be against unique spirits.
  • Beating the 'Link' challenge (winning against a Legend class spirit) grants one extra target. A Legend class spirit has a 4-star ranking.
  • From Ver. 3.0.0, these unlocking conditions can also be met using 'DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch) Spirits'.

Board Items:

  • Access Board Items from the top right corner of the Target List. 5 items are available, affecting the spirits shown. Faded icons indicate no items or inability to use them.
  • Shuffle All: Reshuffles all spirits.
  • All Primaries: Reshuffles all spirits to be Primary Spirits.
  • All Supports: Reshuffles all spirits to be Support Spirits.
  • Filler: Fills all open spaces immediately.
  • Rematch: Restores a spirit that disappeared from the Spirit Board. This can be a spirit you've defeated and collected, or one that left due to too many losses. Spirits whose timers have expired and been replaced cannot be rematched.
  • Board Items can be acquired from the Vault Shop (Gold), shopping (SP), challenges, Classic Mode rewards, or by defeating spirits on the Spirit Board. Items with an orange icon are Board Items.
  • Activities offer a passive way to obtain items. Explore activities, like Charlie in Mushroom Valley, can find Support Items for the Spirit Board. Charlie takes 6 hours to find items.
  • Using 10 board items unlocks the 'Sonic' panel in Challenges, rewarding 3 'All Supports' items.

Fight Screen Conditions:

  • The bottom left corner of the fight screen displays battle conditions and the stage, which vary based on the spirit being fought.
Tips
  • A spirit team's type advantage provides a significant benefit in battle.
  • Legend class spirits (4⭐) are the toughest and require careful consideration of your team's type, strength, and skills against the opponent's conditions, hazards, and minions. Battle Items can assist in these difficult fights.
  • Obtaining a Legend spirit from the Spirit Board for the first time also unlocks a milestone.
