Difficulty Scaling
Dungeons feature three difficulty tiers with dramatic scaling between them. Higher difficulties bring tougher mobs but significantly better rewards!
🌱 EASY
Levels 1-5 • 0.5x MultiplierPerfect for beginners. Mobs have reduced health and damage. Great for learning dungeon mechanics and earning your first rewards.
⚔️ NORMAL
Levels 10-20 • 1.0x MultiplierStandard dungeon experience. Mobs spawn at double the level compared to EASY (2x scaling). Recommended for players with basic gear.
💡 NORMAL is 2x harder than EASY in terms of mob levels and base stats
🔥 HARD
Levels 25-40 • 1.5x+ MultiplierFor experienced adventurers. Features elite mob types including Evokers. Significantly higher health, damage, and armor.
⚠️ Evokers spawn in HARD mode - bring ranged weapons!

- • Friendly fire is disabled between dungeon mobs (no accidental damage)
- • Mobs track their spawner and will leash back if pulled too far
- • Elite mobs (Evokers) only appear in HARD difficulty
4-Phase Boss Fights
Dungeon bosses feature dynamic multi-phase systems with telegraphed abilities, minion spawns, and escalating difficulty. Most bosses have 4 phases, while some easier ones have 3 phases. Learning the patterns is key to victory!
Boss Scale: 2.5x Size
All bosses are visually larger (2.5x normal mob size) making them easier to spot in combat and adding to their intimidating presence!
Phase 1: Calm (100-75% HP)

Phase 2: Agitated (75% HP)
+30% SpeedThe boss becomes agitated! Movement speed increases. Watch for telegraphed abilities - visual cues appear before attacks land!
⚠️ Telegraph: Visual particles warn of incoming attacks
Phase 3: Enraged (50% HP)
+20% Damage, +30% SpeedMinions incoming! The boss summons minions to aid it. Gains additional abilities based on boss type.
