Cataclysm
|
There are four difficulty levels in the base game (Recruit, Veteran, Champion, Legend), with the addition of Cataclysm in the Winds of Magic expansion.
General[ | ]
Each Difficulty has a Power level requirement; in order to start a mission with a party, each party member will have to fulfill these level requirements. Note that players joining the game through invites or through connecting with a friend after a game has started do not have to have these requirements fulfilled.
Mission difficulty influences a number of game mechanics, including enemy stats and friendly fire.Many of these changes are not listed in the available flavor text, but are listed here. The flavour text also talks about enemy becoming more "aggressive", but this does not mean the aggro range of enemies increases. It might point towards the enemies having more mass and resistance to stagger, which makes them harder to keep at bay.
