Overview

Danger Deck is a section in the Freedom Pals‘ base that utilizes holographic images to train the combat skills of allies. Tupperware invented this section to push the boundaries of the Freedom Pals, nevertheless, if The New Kid has paid for it, access is enabled to the facility as well.

There are five Scenario Sets, consisting of three challenges each. All challenges in the Danger Deck are locked at Mastermind combat difficulty, however the enemies' health bar is adjusted in accordance to the player's current Might level. The challenges can be performed in any particular order.

After a simulation challenge is completed with a victory, the New Kid will receive rewards. For single challenges, the rewards consists of antidotes, health refreshments, revive serums, and some cash. The quality of the consumables depends on the difficulty of the battle. When all challenges in a single Scenario Set is cleared, the main reward for the set is dispensed, and the Ultra Modifier for the Scenario Set is immediately unlocked.

In Ultra Modifier mode, the player would be imposed in conditions disadvantageous to the player, however the rewards offered upon completion are outstanding.
