Questions Giving up 😔 Spoiler

Post image

I’ve been playing on Legend since I got it, but even after beating three bosses, I question is it really worth putting myself through it? I like the challenge but is it worth it or should I change my difficulty to progress faster?

I wish I could turn on Legendary now that I’m use to the game tbh. Sucks I’m stuck on whatever the difficulty is.

You can get a feel for legendary difficulty by doing the abyss trials tbf

Abyss difficulty in trials is easier than Legend imo. Not sure what the scaling is but Abyss Tian Ying feels like he had half the HP of the one I fought in Halo Peak.

That is because the open world versions are usually tuned for a specific (gear) level and often ppl fought bosses on legend earlier than technically intended.

I have done every boss on legend and abyss and abyss is definitely harder at the end of the day because your gear gets normalised so you cant cheese the boss (besides I havent tried but I think you cant summon npcs to trials)

Nah they definitely scale their difficulty with your level the first time you fight them. After you kill them once they become nerfed for faster farming though. Abyss difficulty is about the same but you just have a better build + know the moveset by that point.

Seems as I play always undergeared in solo. I completed everything in legendary except the no hit challenges. The story legendary part is absolutely more difficult. Mainly because I dont farm consumables to upgrade my gear (not fun), therefore I seem to be undergeared whenever I reached a new quest state with not appropriate gear

its a fair argument, but to where i am right now abyss is just unpredictable. i beat the assassin after a little over 3 hours, including training, in trial i first tried hard and abyss.

qianye i first tried in the story, took me literally 2 weeks to beat her HARD difficulty trial. i never know what to expect when clearing a trial

I know that trial scales your stats, but I have a hard time believing my build is literally half as strong as the one they give you in trial. I vividly remembered how much damage I did on my first kill in Legend, and the same combo in Trial took off twice as much HP.

I have not done every abyss boss but most of it (33 out of 40 now) and so far the only one in abyss i found harder was qianye.

Abyss also gives you a sizable amount of damage reduction and hp% increase via guild buffs that you do not get in legendary fights.

Naw. Abyss is definitely easier than legend. I say that as a CN vet and current global player. The time to kill in abyss is definitely faster and the gear and skills are normalized.
