Taisen route

A Taisen Route (対戦(たいせん)ルート lit. Competition Route), also known as Challenge Route or Extra Route Competition, is a game mechanism that has existed since the second game. It's a system where various teams are confronted, following a route, where at the end items can be gained based on the rank in the previous matches. Also, after the matches you can get drop items.

Until Inazuma Eleven 3 it was a way to recruit characters that you meet along the game's main story course. From Inazuma Eleven GO onwards, its function changed, a specific team has to be beaten, until a Kizuna item is dropped.

Ranks

After beating a team, one of these ranks are given based on the score:

• B: Win the match.
• A: Score three or more goals of difference.
• S: Score five or more goals without losing one.
