    Virtual Trainer Mechanics

    A Boss Rush With No Downtime

    Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance - Virtual Trainer Boss Rush
    For each battle, you'll have to fight the bosses consecutively, and you won't have time to heal up your party members. Make sure to prepare your team so that you can deal with every enemy you'll encounter.

    It's Game Over if You Lose

    Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance - Virtual Trainer Game Over Warning
    If the Protagonist dies at any point, you will go into the Game Over screen and you'll have to reload a save from the main menu.

    Rewarded With Experience and Money

    Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance - Level Up
    The only rewards you'll get from repeatedly beating the Virtual Trainer are Experience and Money. Unless you desperately need the EXP and Macca, these fights only serve to test your builds and team composition.
