Leveling Up Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Along with your game progress in World Of Light, you will find more difficult and stronger enemies. To defeat them, you need to Level Up your Spirits. Here are the steps to do so:

• First, you will need Snacks, these items come in Small, Medium and Large, which you can get by winning Spirits battles, or competing the Classic Mode, and of course, you can also purchase them in the Store.
• Once you’ve got some Snacks, then head into the menu and select ‘Level Up’, now choose the Spirit that you want to level up, and feed it with Snacks. Larger Snacks will level your Spirits up more, with the max level is 99.

Spirits Training in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

There’s another way to power up your Spirits, that’s with Training. You will find the Master Spirits guard shops and Dojos, the eventual which can be used to teach techniques to your Spirits. Each Dojo teaches a different technique, and you will need to spend SP to learn them.

Summoning Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

To Summon the new and more powerful Spirits, you will have to let go a certain combination of Spirits you already have. Just head to the menu and select ‘Summon’, there you will be greeted with your viable options. The greyed out Summons are ones that won’t require any Spirits for, you can check these requirements by selecting them. And you will have to spend SP to complete each Summon, but you will get the more powerful Spirits though.
