Difficulty Guide
Every difficulty follows the same core rules. What changes is the pressure: the board gives you fewer safe options, progression asks more of your build, and the dungeon becomes more dangerous as your run continues.
Balanced for a fairer opening and a stronger late-game climb
Four ways to face the dungeon
The opening is designed to give every build room to come online. Difficulty differences become clearer through board pressure, progression, and later encounters.
LEVEL 02
Normal
The intended all-around experience. Resources, enemy presence, and progression stay balanced for flexible builds.
PressureModerate
Recommended for first full runs, class unlocks, and leaderboard play.
LEVEL 03
Hard
Enemy tiles apply more board pressure while defensive resources become tighter. Stronger planning matters earlier.
PressureHigh
Growth rewards are adjusted so the tighter board does not stall your build.
LEVEL 04
Very Hard
The highest sustained pressure, with the most enemy-heavy board and the steepest escalation as the run develops.
PressureExtreme
The opening has breathing room, but efficient builds and threat control soon become essential.
What actually changes?
Difficulty is a combination of systems, not a single enemy stat multiplier.
Board composition
Higher modes bring more enemy tiles and fewer defensive or resource tiles.
Progression pace
Gold, experience, and upgrades have different targets and reward tuning.
Enemy escalation
Regular and special enemies grow more threatening as the run continues.
Special enemy rhythm
Dangerous encounters arrive with different timing and sustained pressure.
