Challengers are skilled fighters that appear in Shadow Fight 2 exclusively to challenge Shadow, having heard of his remarkable skills and seeking a good fight. Whenever Shadow encounters any of them, the fight difficulty is displayed (except for Lilith and Festivus) and the player can choose to either update their equipment prior to the fight or simply proceed. The Challengers initiate a special mode of fight that works exactly like a single stage of Tournament, having a maximum of three rounds timed at 99 seconds each. The players have the freedom to use their own equipment and the fight does not feature any other altered rules or conditions. The fight takes place at the location of the respective Act's Duels.
Upon their defeat, the Challengers give up their weapons to Shadow. Other rewards include fight bonus and a small amount of experience. If the player loses, they are given two options: simply leave or try again. To retry, the player must pay +3 gems per every rematch. The player can pay a maximum of 30 gems, subsequent rematches and after the 10th try, it always requires 30 gems. Once a Challenger fight is fully declined, he/she can never again be re-sought for the same later on.

Tips[]
- Challengers usually appear when the players level up. Get massive amounts of money to cover the equipment of the next level by fight a lot on Survival mode upon reaching a new Act to farm money, which means that as soon as the Challenger appears, one can go to the shop and buy all the necessary equipment. With up-to-date equipment, every single one of the challenger fights can be fought on Easy or Normal difficulty.
- Try to fight in Eclipse mode to collect Shadow Orbs and enchant equipment; enchanted equipment can make fights in Insane and Impossible difficulty a lot easier.
Trivia[]
- In the earliest versions of the game, every challenger had no particular speaking role of their own and used these same particular quotes before challenging the player:
'I heard some rumours about your strength. I offer you to try it against me. Accept my challenge and I will give you my weapon if you are victorious!'
If the player refused to fight them, Nova's quote would be shown for every challenger as a result. Also, challengers had no concluding words after being defeated by the player.
- All challenger weapons are enchanted with simple enchantments.
- Nova,Rose,Lilith is only girl challenge
- All challenger weapons have identical functions with other weapons except for Wanderer's Staff, which has a different super slash than the usual Staves. (The Wanderer's Staff is also like the weapon from the Warlock Set)
- In real life, Ronin was a samurai with no lord or master during feudal Japan (1185–1868).
- Nova's eyes are white, just like demon bosses and characters corrupted by Titan, which shows that Sensei's claim might be right, and the person that hired Nova is working for Titan.
- Since Nova is fought in the Interlude, that challenger fight is the only challenger fight to reward the player with Platinum coins.
- If the player reaches Act VII and then gets challenged by Festivus or Lilith, then those fights will be the only challenger fights to reward the player with Credits.
- The fight between Shadow and Festivus or Lilith takes place in the Dojo.
