Difficulty normal hard extra?

[Saica-Fox]

besides rewards and it being harder what is different do the bad guys have more hp hit harder or what?

Why not just start it and see. Not like you'll lose anything.

I'll just warn you if you're having 70~ accuracy in Normal w/ your suits, expect that to be dropped by about 15%

i guess im asking also wouldnt level matter like i wouldnt want to take level one suits in on hard

[legojoe]

It's more about your pilots than anything. If your pilots can't hit or dodge, doesn't matter if you're bringing in a unit with 500 ATK. 0 accuracy is 0 damage.

ok gotcha thanks

My guess is better XP rewards for kills (better grinding), but I can't say for sure yet.

Tried on G-Unit level 1 extra. The 1st part of the stage, you fight a boss Gundam Ascrepios before deployment. Lol

[Ridden0079]

start on normal till your suits have leveled up some or you will likely be torn apart just on hard.

I fought hard mode of 2nd stage of 00f with ~lv5 of all my starting units and didn't notice a significant difference. No change in the enemy units. Maybe the pilots are different?

[Saica-Fox]

yeah what changes?

[SoulD]

on EXTRA you have to beat this guy instead. ;)

i always chose hard than extra, because my attack always miss target in extra mode

[Saica-Fox]

that guy scares me

If you are experienced player of this series, you can actually get by doing HARD difficulty from the get go. There are a lot of new tools now that helps players to exploit the system and quickly eliminate enemy units before they have any chance of doing much damage to you.

EXTRA is just not possible without your unit/characters being upgraded a bit. You can beat it early if you exploit MAP Weapons, but there are no early units that will allow you to dish out enough damage this way, and you are unlikely to land any hits on enemy units.

NORMAL will be just standard, as it is the "normal" difficulty, and your base units (not upgraded or modded) compare fairly, so you can get better grasp of power balance between different units.

Are you kidding me? They literally get a significant boost in both MS and pilot stats.

i did notice one thing going from normal to hard the AI focus fire more and are more aggressive they will come towards you and not wait for you. They also have higher hit chance and hit you hard and they link attack more support attack and support defend
And i even lost a gundam the pilot was ♥♥♥♥ for it so that didnt help and the mech was level 1
