===Spirits that gained spirit battles===
These spirits initially did not have spirit battles, and were only obtainable via Summon or by purchasing from shops in World of Light, but gained them through updates and DLC. Spirits that gained battles after the release of a specific DLC fighter require that fighter's Challenger Pack in order to partake in their battle.
No. 	Image	Name 	Series 	DLC required	Update
971 	 	Xenoblade Chronicles Series	Challenger Pack 9 	 	
1,134	 	Famicom Wars Series 	None (originally exclusive to the The More the Merrier Spirit Board event, but battle can be rematched at any time from version 8.0.0 onward)	 	
1,288	 	ARMS 	Challenger Pack 6 	 	
1,291	 	ARMS 	Challenger Pack 6 	 	
==Trivia==
*Prior to version 8.0.0, the Ryo Sakazaki spirit battle did not use the Mii Costume, even if it was downloaded.
*Although there are corresponding Mii outfits, some spirit battles have not changed at least one of their fighters to match said Mii outfit. These include the Tails, MegaMan.EXE, , , Rex, Squid Sisters, Veronica (in the Hero's Comrades spirit), Bomberman, Akira, Iori Yagami, Nakoruru, Geno, and Shantae battles.
**If sole headgear is counted, then this applies to Morgana, Slime, Rabbids, Octolings and Judd as well.
*Although Min Min, Pyra and Mythra are DLC fighters, their original spirit battles will not change.
*Rex, Tora, and Mòrag are the only spirits in World of Light to have their battles affected by DLC.
