BrightBow Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I recently finally got around to play the game on Normal Mode for a change and was rather surprised by just how much slower my units leveled. This made me curious about how different the enemy forces are between the modes. So I played through Chapter 1 side by side in both modes to collect a bit of data about the enemy's army composition and strength: Spoiler Ram Woods Normal Mode - Rating: 190 / Units: 5 Brigand x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Hard Mode - Rating: 228 / Units: 6 Brigand x 6 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Fleccer's Forest Normal Mode - Rating: 266 / Units: 7 Brigand x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 / Note: Unlike every other Lv1 Archer encountered later, this guy has only 8 Str instead of 9 Boss Brigand x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating :38 Hard Mode - Rating: 311 / Units: 8 Brigand x 6 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 Boss Brigand x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 44 Thieve's Shrine Battle Normal Mode - Rating: 270 / Units: 7 Brigand x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Boss Brigand x 1 / Lv.2 / Rating: 42 / Item: Ram Wine Hard Mode - Rating: 308 / Units: 7 Brigand x 2 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Brigand x 3 / Lv.3 / Rating: 44 Archer x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 Boss Brigand x 1 / Lv.6 / Rating: 53 / Item: Ram Wine Ram Valley Normal Mode - Rating: 419 / Units: 10 Brigand x 7 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 Mercenary x 1 / Lv.4 / Rating: 70 / Item: Leather Shield Hard Mode - Rating: 503 / Units: 11 Brigand x 3 / Lv.1 / Rating: 38 Brigand x 4 / Lv.3 / Rating: 44 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 Archer x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 Mercenary x 1 / Lv.6 / Rating: 76 / Item: Leather Shield Boss Brigand x 1 / Lv.6 / Rating: 53 Southern Outpost Normal Mode - Rating: 309 / Units: 7 Soldier x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 45 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 / Item: Steel Bow Boss Soldier x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 45 Hard Mode - Rating: 398 / Units: 8 Soldier x 5 / Lv.2 / Rating: 50 Archer x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 / Item: Steel Bow Archer x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 Boss Soldier x 1 / Lv.5 / Rating: 63 Southern Zofia 1 Normal Mode - Rating: 402 / Units: 9 Soldier x 6 / Lv.1 / Rating: 45 Archer x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 Cavalier x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 48 Boss Soldier x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 45 Hard Mode - Rating: 528 / Units: 10 Soldier x 4 / Lv.2 / Rating: 50 Soldier x 2 / Lv.4 / Rating: 57 Archer x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 Cavalier x 2 / Lv.2 / Rating: 53 Boss Soldier x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 63 Southern Zofia 2 Normal Mode - Rating: 288 / Units: 6 Cavalier x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 48 Boss Cavalier x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 48 Hard Mode - Rating: 458 / Units: 8 Cavalier x 4 / Lv.2 / Rating: 53 Cavalier x 3 / Lv.4 / Rating: 60 Boss Cavalier x 1 / Lv.6 / Rating: 66 Zofia Gate Normal Mode - Rating: 887 / Units: 17 Soldier x 2 / Lv.1 / Rating: 45 Archer x 5 / Lv.1 / Rating: 39 Cavalier x 6 / Lv.1 / Rating 48 Knight x 1 / Lv.1 / Rating: 67 Arcanist x 1 / Lv. 1 / Rating: 56 / Spells: Miasma; Recover Slayde (Paladin) x 1 / Lv. 1 / Rating : 66 Desaix (Baron) x 1 / Lv. 1 / Rating: 125 / Item: Dracoshield Hard Mode - Rating: 1142 / Units: 19 Soldier x 1 / Lv.5 / Rating: 58 / Item: Iron Lance Archer x 4 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 / Item: Iron Bow Archer x 4 / Lv.3 / Rating: 45 Cavalier x 6 / Lv.5 / Rating 61 Knight x 1 / Lv.3 / Rating: 73 Arcanist x 1 / Lv. 3 / Rating: 62 / Spells: Miasma; Recover Slayde (Paladin) x 1 / Lv. 3 / Rating : 72 Desaix (Baron) x 1 / Lv. 5 / Rating: 137 / Item: Dracoshield Considering that it seems like there is no EXP reduction on Hard Mode and enemies of the same level will be equally strong, this makes me wonder how much harder Hard mode actually is. Facing more and higher leveled enemies means more EXP, which means faster access to promotions and spells.

I'd still say it's harder. Unless it greatly accelerates leveling the higher enemy stats will likely outweigh the growths gained on levels outside of people promoting to Tier 2.
