In each of these battles, you&#8217;ll have to complete the challenge using only the cards and Muses provided to you at the start. Your deck will always be in the same order, so there is no randomness here!<\/p>\n<p>These puzzles will test your knowledge and skills to the limit. But don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll be able to retry the challenge as often as you need. If you get stuck, you can ask Ancie for helpful hints, no strings attached. Each Challenge Battle you clear will unlock one &#8220;Parallel Card&#8221; for use.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>New system: Parallel Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Parallel Card is a new version of an existing card that you can enable before you venture into dungeons. These Parallel Cards will replace the original when you receive them in a dungeon or battle rewards, making for new experiences and strategies.<\/p>\n<p>You can always return a Parallel Card to normal from the base menu, so enable or disable them as you see fit. Find your favorites to customize the game to your playstyle, or pick and choose the ones you need to help get a new high score!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Quality of Life improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New quality of life features have been added in version 1.2.0, including some frequently requested options. Some highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can now save and load Wild Card presets.<\/li>\n<li>Accessibility options have been added, including auto-success on Action mini-games.<\/li>\n<li>Unobtained cards will now appear with a special mark.
