Difficulty Factor
During Tower Testing, higher difficulty modes exaggerate the base strength or weakness by a certain factor. The formula for this interaction is:
(Eff / 100)Fac × 100
Where:
- Eff is the base effectiveness, as a percentage, found in the table above.
- Fac is the difficulty factor, found in the table below.
For example, Fire enemies would usually take 25% damage from nature attacks. On impossible difficulty, this damage would be reduced to just (25 / 100)8 × 100 = ~0.0015% damage.
On the other hand, if using water attacks, the fire enemies on impossible difficulty would instead take (200 / 100)8 × 100 = 25,600% damage.
| Difficulty | Factor |
|---|---|
| Easy | 1 |
| Medium | 1.5 |
| Hard | 2 |
| Insane | 3 |
| Nightmare | 4 |
| Impossible | 8 |
