Dojo Challenge

Overview

Dojo Challenge is a feature that was added in the version 1.1.0 update.
It's unlocked after clearing Serpentcoil Island, and lets you challenge dojos of monsters you've seen before.
Each Dojo Challenge is basically a self-contained puzzle of sorts, similar to Fay's Puzzles in Shiren 1.
However, unlike Fay's Puzzles, attack accuracy and enemy actions involve RNG like normal dungeons,
so you might need to retry the challenge for more favorable outcomes in areas that involve luck.

Rewards

Clearing a dojo unlocks the corresponding monster family for play in Sacred Tree dungeons.
An achievement and a new Monster Dojo menu background is also unlocked upon clearing all 51 dojos.
