Encore or Prime Sanctums? Which is Harder to P?

[Cat Naps]

Talking about Violent and Brutal.
For me P-2 definitely harder on Violent, but 1-E on Brutal tried my sanity.
I'd say over all the Sanctums take it on Violent but the Encores on Brutal are gnarly enough to just beat out the Sanctums difficulty-wise. What was your experience?

i can't really say without bias, as i've perfected p-2 and when the encore levels dropped i already had like 600 hours, but probably encores i dunno

ENCORES

[Mysterious Sir Knight]

I'd say P-2.

1-E is only really difficult because of the tight spaces, if you suck at moving in tight spaces I could see 1-E being harder.

1-e on brutal was hell to p-rank but not even close to p-2 on brutal on my experience

[JIIINGJING]

1-E is easy, 0-E is pretty hard, P-2 is Pretty hard

I'd say 0-E or P-2 if not counting sisyphus

sisyphus is the easiest part?

I would say that the stages have to be taken as a whole, so yeah Sisyphus counts.

That said I think Sisyphus is the easier segment of P-2 to get right once you practice the guy enough. In the end it's just one dude to keep track of (Sisyphus) as opposed to three bosses (Agony,Tundra,Swordsmachine) and terrible readability from 1-E plus the screens going overhead just make it hard to process what's going on...

That or I just spent a silly amount of time drilling the Sisyphus fight so my P rank runs on Brutal didn't die to him if I got to the end.

[Wehzy]

P-2 for sure. Getting to the boss is the hard part.

hardest in my opinion, I mean, USE TO be the hard, but I can kill him pretty easily.
Also 1-E is hella easy (unlike 1-R)

Encores are harder and less fair because of the radiant enemies and generally harsh arena design, like the one where you get boxed into a tiny rectangle in 0-E with a radiant idolled maurice and a swordsmachine. In general, gameplay revolves around spamming parries and your most powerful options instead of actually being good at the game.

A small mistake on my part, my b. The Maurice in the room is idoled, not Radiant.

Must've been (rightfully) nerfed or had the radiance on the idol.
