So is Hard Mode...

[815|Shouldabeen]

Kind of pointless? After just beating it for the first time, my character isn't a higher level than what I get in normal. Also, there doesn't seem to be any increased AP rewards (I still have a few tier 4 unlocks to go).

Maybe there's something if you beat it with all characters? Please tell me there is.

wait until full release this end of month, new stuff coming, you will have to start from 0 tho, so keep that in mind

In the game's current state: if you're expecting some kind of reward, yes. If normal mode became too mundane for you, no. Bosses are more interesting on hard mode but take some time getting used to.

[815|Shouldabeen]

I wouldn't say normal mode became too mundane. I beat it with a couple of characters, then simply moved on to hard mode because it seemed like the natural progression.

Yeah it's mostly nothing beyond new boss patterns & attacks.

Like others have said Hard mode doesnt really change much but my highest AP was 1685 and I doubt that is possible in Normal.

IDK, all of mine are just a hair under 1400. Think my highest is like 1385 (hard mode included)

The Evotype rating is not connected to the difficulty at all. It's solely influenced by the tactics you select and how many of them are rare or double tactics.

Hard mode has a higher chance of giving you purples and golds.

This, in turn, means hard mode is the only way to optimise your rating.

Optimising your rating is just a personal challenge you give yourself once you've finished everything else.

playing game is pointless , its not about hard mode

Uh.. My characters played on hard are significantly higher level than those played on normal.

That said, the main point of playing on hard is that... it's fun. Harder bosses, trickier situations, better loot and more difficult decisions. That's it, really. You just play the game 'cause it's fun to play.

Of course, as others have said: it's still in early access. At the end of the month there's apparently going to be a big overhaul patch. No idea what's in it besides Taokaka but hopefully it'll make things more fun and add more unlocks.

If you check their twitter or discord, they've been showing off the different changes coming for the past 10 days. Seems to be a lot of cool stuff coming, suggest you check it out.

Or wait until tomorrow I guess, that's when the update happens
