In these games, groups of enemy units periodically appear on the world map, and the player can engage them in a skirmish to gain [[experience]] and clear the path obstructed by the enemies. | ||
{{title|Fates}} and {{title|Three Houses}} also feature optional battles, known in the latter as '''auxiliary battles''', but they work differently due to the lack of an explorable world map. | |||

They work mostly the same way as in ''The Sacred Stones'', except now the player is not obstructed by the presence of challenges and can walk past them to other destinations on the world map, only engaging them by choice. All locations on the map (with the exception of [[Grima (chapter)|the Endgame's location]]) are capable of playing host to challenges. | ||
If the player opts to engage a [[StreetPass]] or [[SpotPass]] bonus team in battle to attempt to recruit their leader, this also acts as a challenge. It is possible to summon Risen groups to the world map at any time using [[Reeking Box]]es; the group will appear on the same location the player was on at the time of using the Reeking Box. The levels of the opposing army depend on where they were summoned; they will be weaker on earlier maps, but get progressively stronger on later maps. | If the player opts to engage a [[StreetPass]] or [[SpotPass]] bonus team in battle to attempt to recruit their leader, this also acts as a challenge.

Enemies in auxiliary battles are mostly humans with the exception of some battles where a monster unit acts as a third army and ''Rare Monster Sighting'' where the enemies are all monsters. Human bosses also drop a [[bullion]] when defeated while the ''Rare Monster Sighting'' bosses will drop a rusted weapon which can be repaired to either a silver weapon or an Archanean regalia for swords, lances, axes, and bows or a pair of [[Dragon Claws]] for gauntlets. Which type of weapon is dropped by monster bosses is determined by their classes: [[Giant Wolf]]s drop [[Rusted Sword]] or [[Rusted Gauntlets]], [[Giant Bird]]s drop [[Rusted Sword]] or [[Rusted Bow]], and [[Wild Demonic Beast]]s drop [[Rusted Lance]] or [[Rusted Axe]]. Resetting auxiliary battles by either quitting and re-entering the battle or soft-resetting the enemies may change the enemies' classes and thus, may change the weapon type of the monster boss' drop. However the quality of the rusted weapon drop when repaired is fixed and cannot be reset. | Enemies in auxiliary battles are mostly humans with the exception of some battles where a monster unit acts as a third army and ''Rare Monster Sighting'' where the enemies are all monsters.
