Leveling charracters past 20-30?
How do you guys do it with so many charracters? After i'm done with one campaign that family is generally between 20-30. But lvl 50+ is apparently the optimal way to start farming secret weapons on hard. How did you guys manage to get those last 20 lvls on each character?

Ambition mode. Get far enough in you get an academy and you're able to buy your way up to 150. getting the gold for the levels though can take a while though.

Once you finish history mode, every character should be in the 30 range (even the on eyou did not use, so that's nice).
Then take your favorite one, start ambition mode and farm, farm farm .
With the academy at max level, you can reach lv100+ for about 220K gold.

Also if you're only interested in farming weapons, having a "killer weapon" is more important than your char level.

I "invested" in a Pike with Slash/Flash/Cyclone/Velocity/Explosion/Induction at Lv10 and I use it with any char to get their 5th and 6th weapons, even at lv30 .

Of course, you need to play ambition mode to unlock the Weapon Fusion ability to create these kind of weapons.

I don't like that the characters you don't use level up. I feel like resetting their levels everytime I finish a stage.

The reason they KT did that was because so many people complained about the opposite in the previous DW games.

So I guess none of those people play Pokémon?
There is so many ways to help you level up..
Quick Learner : +5% boost to EXP gain per level, +100% at max level.
Victory Cry/Fortune Hunter : might help you getting more and better EXP scrolls.
Sprint - Growth : +10% boost to EXP gain, no need to be on horse either, just equip it for effect.
Assistance - Growth - When animal/bodyguard defeat enemy, there is chance EXP scroll drops.

Academy sounds nice but it become available later half of Ambition mode, plus they eat up lots of golds and materials. Supplement with skill/animal/bodyguard for easier leveling.

Once you're past level 26, you should be more than fine playing on Hard. The higher the difficulty level, the more EXP you gain.
Know what's more fun? getting the DLC for 6-Star Weapons and killing everyone in one hit.
I really like Brimstone's Wrath. It's almost like a joke weapon!

Is the bonus EXP significant? So far i haven't been able to get a secret weapon as my killing speed isn't quick enough. Living and such is fine though

Increasing the difficulty is almost a must once you reach a certain level if you want to gain enough EXP to level up. Of course, the level and difficulty scales are pretty balanced, so there's no real problem in that.

I guess it is significant since with characters around level 40-50 I was able to get minimum 3 levels per mission when I played on Hard.
