For information on how battles work, see the main Battles page.
Boss level opponents are extra challenging and need to be unlocked before they can be challenged!
Boss battle entries must be by the Rukaan's owner.
Each Rukaan may only challenge each Boss once per month. (A second entry may be submitted to the group one month after the previous entry was submitted to the group; for instance, if a first entry was submitted on January 15 a second entry could be submitted on February 15)
