Personally, even with spirits, all of these spirits are tough as nails. I also think that you should've added Trevor C. Belmont, at one point, you got it in the bag, but next thing you know, YOULL BE TRYING TO FIGHT THE ASSIST AND THE PEOPLE WITH A FINAL SMASH.

[@Nin10doCentral]

Honestly, I think Alucard should've been on this list. The only saving grace is if you have an Assist Killer spirit, like sheriff.

[@adog3118]

9v and 18v were brutal for me in my current (first) playthrough, as well as kappin without having any wind resist spirits. i managed to get dr wily using metal killer, two stamina up spirits, and spamming byleth side special

Super armor ridley killed himself for me the exact same way. After about an hour of me trying everything else

[@ItsFireTiger]

Ah hard as I tried to kill Ridley, he died by the Dark Emperor's hand in the end

[@Amber610_]

I think an exception to the no-spirit rule for certain spirits would have made this ranking better. Most of the battles on this list were designed for certain spirits to be necessary, and were only difficult because you didn't allow yourself to use the necessary spirit.

[@Pokemonhacker1337]

I agree with this. The Dry Bowser battle is intended to be free once you get a spirit that protects against lava. Same for any battle with heavy wind and other hazards. The idea is that if you find a spirit that you are struggling with, that you can come back once you have a better team of spirits to assist.

[@alexn5743]

I'd argue number 2 was still hard... especially if you did it the "true" way. Snake with young Ocelot spirit.

[@speedude0164]

Yeah the game clearly doesn't intend for you not to use Spirits as you do like 1 damage a hit without them, and several of these battles are made much easier from Spirits than others.

[@SamTheMarioMan]

@@Pokemonhacker1337 I wouldn't exactly call Dry Bowser "free", since he's still a hard hitter who gets curry breath and increased defense. But still, I'd definitely consider him easier than the likes of Dr. Wily or Giga Mac

[@toony1232]

​​​@@SamTheMarioMan It's a free(r) fight after you get and upgrade either Balder or Diancie (forgot which had the advantage in this fight) along with fire immunity. You see, the curry counts as a projectile so these two evolved spirits who give you Franklin badge help you withstand the curry and even damage back at Bowser, so your only worry is to defeat Bowser enough for the defense buffs to not get intrusive and for your badge to not expire Oh, and btw. If you are good at using either Ness or Lucas, that can also help since their down B heals with projectiles or so I remember

7:29 I beat it by -Using an advantage primary spirit at lvl 99 that has three support slots -Using a metal killer support spirit -Using the “Health gained every K.O.” support spirit -Using a tank, like Ganon I beat this first try with this setup, and, I even ended the fight with the same amount of health I had at the start

[@mr_man_Sir_man]

The challenge is to beat them without using spirits

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

When even God himself has to use cheese, you know that it's a hard spirit battle.

[@Nightmare2688theeleckamo]

Listen I only use bowser

[@toony1232]

Big Boss + Heal on KO support spirit is the best strat for this, indeed

[@Jellyman4]

For most spirit battles where the opponent is huge, play my boy Ness. His PK Fire spam is get most CPU's stuck and confused, it's especially useful in stamina battles where you could just stand at a safe distance and watch them burn. Hope this helps anyone getting into WoL 👊😎👌

Use a spirit with the staff equipped ability. Combine with spirits that increase shooting damage. Two well time hits at the start of the match and its over. Three if you are not lucky.

I got lucky and peach just fell after an up b

[@ashleyslocum6026]

omg yes im literally stuck on the peach DK and mario battle rn thank you for this vid this is the validation i needed lol

[@danielcurren2119]

shout out to 9 volt and 18 volt, with sheriff hostile assists that take away any chances of recovering, while the galaga items kill you when your hp gets too high. It's too many things to focus on at once

[@turboshazed7370]

I would have added that at number 10

[@andybrewer0]

11:53 The transition to your pitch about SquareSpace was amazing😆

[@videomakermiller8188]

he said ''i was BLOWN away

[@thornedsage]

I had to just watch that transition a few times

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

The Boss's fight is the most appropriately difficult. She was so satisfying to take down in MGS3, and it's the same thing here. Plus, the homage is my favorite in the game.

[@jestertycoon700]

I did it without spirits, you get lucky.. she fell to her death just gimp her somehow it was hell nonetheless

[@BasementSkeleton97]

The only way I beat it spiritless was by saving that battle until I got Ganondorf. I constantly jumped to avoid poison damage and landed as many aerials as I could. Once my FS Meter was full I was able to knock her off the stage and quickly spike her with Ganondorf''s Final smash. I'm not the type to cheese battles with Kirby like a lot of people do

[@jestertycoon700]

@@BasementSkeleton97 yeah, I can't knock em for doing it but no I fought my damnest with Link and somehow the AI killed itself took me an hour it was hell Good on you for that thought took actual balls for that lol.

[@amasterclasher]

I used Yoshi, ate him, and he fell off as an egg...

[@mariokarttourstudiosteambo5997]

I did her, slammed down B with DK and used a poison remover spirit.

[@siggelilliehook7332]

Fun thing. I won my first battle against Ho Oh due to the AI having some kind of stroke and just walked of the arena. I was rather chocked to say the least.

[@igiveup1024]

for ho-oh that guy touched something called uhh, i dont think i remember

[@toony1232]

Same thing happened to me when I went to fight The Boss ZSS, having summoned a Madama Butterfly for it. I psyched myself to finally beat her, only for her to SD

[@neoken7356]

When fighting the Pauline spirit, Peach went around me when the time slow happened and since I had such a powerful spirit I side B’d and her shield got knocked making her fall into the abyss. My luck grew 3 sizes that day.

[@Supercatandrewman]

Who here won the Pauline Spirit because the main fighter killed herself?

[@partyharry7585]

once that happened for me seeing her far slowly to her death i jumped up with joy knowing my misery with the bitch would finally end. also making sure i stayed alive before she died.also my friend had the same thing happen to him and told the same tragic yet loving tale of the plauline spirit battle

[@genericname865]

Me I had to lure peach up to the top and defeat her with zero suit samus's super. I hate this one forever.

[@Mr_Grapes]

All i did is wait for the time slow thing and then get it and spam banjos side b on peach

[@gamezone2547]

[@jjshrimps9069]

I won against Dark Emperor because “Dark Emperor ” literally came in at the right time to hit Ridely. *PRETTY EPIC WIN HUH*

[@obi-wankenobi5730]

On one of my tries on Dark Emperor, I bounced off Ridley's head just as the stage sunk all the way because of the Dark Emperor taking the stage

[@snakeshifter02]

Is this the power of Golden Experience Requiem?

[@joechambers4965]

Best way to cheese the metal megan’s for me was with Min-Min, just spam the smash stack with the dragon arms I also did that for *The Boss* one

[@Nintendude0]

something that's really funny is that i don't even have to fight Caeda since the game randomly gave me the spirit for joining.

Hardest fight for me was Guile. You had to deal with a Captain Falcon with increased attack power (which isn't stated, but I have a feeling he does) all fighters having lower jump power, and fighting the Guile assist trophy, not to forget to mention it's a stamina battle.

[@Ivan-ho1pd]

About gigamac...I struggled really long with him and finally did it with mewtu. When he was far away enough I could Use shadowball as projectile attack and after that I was dancing around. Moving away enough to not get Hit but then Sprint to him and Use side b so He can't attack me, while I damage him and immediately sprint back to not get hit.

[@Giantpants]

Anyone remember Ashley? The reversed controls flicking on and off at random, the microgames, and opponents sheet resistance and refusal to die all were the earliest indicators to me that World of Light wasn’t playing around

Giga Mac literally drove me insane, twice, yeah. Firstly on spirit board, I used Bowser performing down b to kill him like some people did in their videos, but had no idea how. Second time using Sephiroth and just jumped around to get any chance to shoot fire ball at him or use the straight down stab and quickly run away like there is no tomorrow...

[@Stresenbear]

I beat Giga Mac on my first try with very low health because he just acted stupid whilst I bombarded him with Sonic's homing attack

[@X_Spence]

If you're going for Giga Mac build I highly recommend it, go with Giga as the primary, level up all the way, then get 2 slots that increase punch damage followed by a one slot hyper smash spirit, he's a "One Punch Man" for sure (with Smash attacks of course) usually, here and there, it may take 2-5 charged hits to kill an enemy

[@ktms8844]

For the little max spirit, just to keep bouncing up and down on the ropes and for some reason it'll delays his attacks long enough for you to chip damage him

[@micahsimpson9091]

I have a good winning strategy for Giga Mac, just choose any primary with 3 slots, preferably shield or neutral, and have great autoheal. When you get to a worrying point, run and heal. I'd recommend Falco for his side special. Try to keep Mac guessing and repeat the strategy and you'll pull a victory soon.

You could also use your spirit list which automatically allows you to find a spirit and battle it. It will save much more time.

[@Jellyman4]

For Tabu here's what I did: - Equip Majora's mask spirit (Skull Kid, health leech) - Support spirit will be a critical health healing spirit - I played MegaMan, his ranged attacks can do wonders if you keep your distance, I mostly utilized the side b. - Only go in for melee attacks sometimes and when necessary, I only went in for MegaMans dash attack sometimes with some aerials and a few charged up smashes Hope this helps for people who are just getting into WoL 👊😎👌

[@firewolf950tfwgaming7]

Or(what I did) get corrin and just repeatably jump on the rope getting height so I could use his/her down smash every time he comes by.

[@leahluostarinen]

Is that actually a achieve thing

[@SPZ-gv2on]

Thats how I beat it

[@user-jl7cz2pe6d]

Just a heads-up, I know that this is over a year old, but during the Dry Bowser Spirit Battle, you could've used Kirby's stone to land safely on the lava and restore your ledge grabs

[@StickTheComic]

For strong wind, King K Rool dashing will keep you stationary and his dash attack can never go off of ledges, so you can spam dash attack for strong wind stages.

[@miriion]

Tip: With enemies like Ho-oh, or generally any other enemy with the curry breathing, you can use characters like Simon/Richter and spam Up-B. It’s not always 100% possible, but if you use Up-B on the enemy, their curry breath will take you out of free-Fall mode, meaning you can immediately use it again. If done correctly, you can spam it several times and lift them to the blast zone.

[@supernovaaaa16]

i just use lucas down b

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

[@petegordon1648]

My advice: With Ho-oh, hope that charizard is like my battle where he took over 100% damage from the fire pillars in the second map and see him fly into the abyss :)

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

@@petegordon1648 Yeah, that happened to me too, but instead of the fire pillars hitting him, the water from the 3rd(?) form washed him away, like a leaf falling off of a bare tree.

I spent roughly 2 and a half hours trying to defeat this spirit. In the end though, Zero Suit Samus jumped off the stage and recovered the wrong way like with what happened to you. I was so pissed off though because it felt like she had pity for me and did it on purpose. Needless to say I left that match feeling unsatisfied with a godly spirit.

[@Wesley-76]

M. Bison was hard even when I fought him on Very Easy. On that mode, most spirits are stupid, but this guy was like, "screw Very Easy, Imma be smart" Stamina battle against a Ganon that gets buffs and a final smash that has enough power to OHKO in STAMINA mode where knockback never increases!

[@superspeedbros2422]

Why wasn’t the Raikou, Entei and Suicine battle on here? That one is brutal. It’s on the Suzuku Castle. The large portion of the stage is ON FIRE, so you have to use the smaller platform. Greninja, Pikachi and Incinaroar gang up on you, and it’s so hard! Even WITH spirits, this fight is so aggravating!

[@talesferreiralimadossantos8806]

It was hard AF, I agree. What made easier for me was spamming down+B as DK to give enough damage and after that I knocked out two of them at the same time (almost), leaving with just one. Still, it took me three tries to finally beat them.

[@thefinder1]

U can do fights so much easier by using the down special from Kirby 1. You can’t take damage (unless it’s from a boss) 2. you can immediately fly back up since Kirby has such a high jump 3. The floor won’t damage you

[@seansquiers6506]

For the Pauline spirit I got tired of trying. Then I had a plan. I got the skill where you get 2 Final Smashes and I planned on using Pac-Man. Well my plan did get rid of D.K and Mario but then Peach somehow managed to kill herself. I had a lot of happiness for obvious reasons but also sadness because I wasn't the one to end her.

[@miraculousmongoose2110]

Some of these I had PTSD flashbacks just thinking of them. I found that I often struggled the most with Pauline, Ho-oh, Dr. Wily, and Geno

[@Majora404err01r]

dry bowser was the hardest for me. even though i used a lava floor resistant spirit. i still was hurt by the floor. so i basically had to rely on kirby's up special to avoid the effect of the floor (really, kirby's up special is op. you can get back up into the air almost instantly if you spam it.) i managed to beat dry bowser when he fell off the stage and couldn't get back up.

[@Majora404err01r]

the other ones hard for me were azura, pauline, and dark emperor. are a few

[@kurtfrankisnomore875]

Lol I beat Jeff first try with Mario

[@Yusuf-yx7dd]

Even with no spirits, with Kirby and King Dedede, Jeff is easy…. You just need to go to the blast zone holding *B* and then when you suck one inkling you turnaround very quick and press *A* to inject them in the blast zone so they can die immediately if you do the same thing with the three of them. Also watch out for the cars

[@raven-narth9926]

Yeah for sure.

I couldn't beat Jeff with bowser, who can spam the same exact body slam move, with level 99 spirits. I had to go to the dark realm and get super strong spirits just to beat him

[@Ben_the_Rosafan]

Here's how I beat Pauline: Use Lucas with the Hero Chao spirit (for Fast Final Smash Meter) Ignore Peach, just chase Mario and DK, nailing each one with PK Thunder, and take the beating until the meter fills up (it helps that Lucas has an HP recovery move) As soon as that meter fills, use PK Starstorm to push Peach off the screen.

[@Sebas-ts4he]

Yk what i had to do for Pauline spirit? I had to equip a really good spirit with critical and magic attack as support. I killed DK first and then mario after and then after a long chase i would eventually kill peach. This was with the skill tree and spirits on and it still took me over 1 hour to simply knock out DK OR Mario. Literally the hardest spirit close with Dr Wily spirit

[@JaxxHammer2008]

I find baby bowser in the spirit board a hard one too First u have a tiny bowser, which isnt so bad, but things get worse after you defeat tiny bowser... A giant bowser steps in on the arena and is equipped with super armor, which means he is almost unflinchable to knockback Not only that, but the bowser also does INSANE damage! Also note that his tilt smash COVERS LIKE HALF THE MAP! Oh, and something else to mention, ITS A STAMINA BATTLE AS WELL! So in conclusion i find this fight really difficult, and no battle items can really help me out here. Maybe yall can lend me with a few tips for this fight huh?

[@criticallapis8702]

Funny thing is, the description of the boss spirit is “defense increases when at high damage,” her damage increases when under 150 hp, after 30 damage has been done

[@georgeluciano6136]

My guess is, the boss shouldn't take any damage. Any damage is already too high lol

[@vesterandfriends]

Yeah the Pauline one took so damn long to beat! I found out using giant Link with staff helped a lot.

[@victordavila1475]

Sadly there’s no way to truly cheese that fight as the first time I did it, peach sd’ed and while the staff kinda works the problem is how Peach would take a while to recover and stand still which sadly is long enough for Mario and DK to spawn.

[@kbye8s]

DON'T SAY DAMN BITCH

[@SleepyPupper21]

Lol i has dlc, and beat it on 1st try Hero is broken

[@FoxPrimed]

Ouch!, I can see why it is almost near essential to use spirits for legend spirit battles because most of them are only barely possible without spirits or the skill tree. I already beat most of these legend battles on Normal Mode which is why I am doing a New Game+ run of World Of Light on Hard Mode. I will probably get my ass kicked a lot of times by the ace and legend level spirit battles, but I will probably have fun regardless of whatever happens.

How to beat the Giga Mac spirit: Step 1: play as Kirby Step 2: go to the left or right side of the stage Step 3: hold down neutral B until Little Mac gets too close and you inhale him. Step 4: face the death barrier and apit him out. Step 5: watch little mac die as a star going off screen.
