As you explore the world, you'll encounter numerous NPCs who will challenge you to impromptu street fights. These range from basic thugs to surprisingly skilled opponents. Engaging in these fights is beneficial for several reasons:
- Experience Points: Gain XP for your avatar and any equipped Master Style.
- Zenny: Earn money from each victory.
- Items: Opponents often drop consumables, crafting materials, or even rare gear.
- Practice: A great way to test new moves or styles in a low-stakes environment.
Some NPCs will have a 'challenge' icon above their heads, indicating a tougher fight with specific conditions or a unique reward. Always check your map for these icons.
