Hard Party Quests

Every party quest has a Hard run, including the two in The Unlit. It uses the same stages, but everything fights back harder, and it pays better. Hard is built for parties, so a healer and a front line matter. It has its own daily clears, so it never uses up your Normal ones. The basics are in Party Quests.

Getting in

• Party only. Bring a party of 2 or more on the board's map and press ENTER HARD.
• QUICK JOIN HARD waits until a second hero joins. It never starts a Hard run alone.
• Alone, the board refuses and tells you the party you need.
• The Find button in Challenges looks for Normal runs only.

What is tougher

• Every creature has twice the health. The boss has far more.
• Creatures hit harder.
• Waves are bigger, and every wave has a champion: a tougher creature with a shield, regeneration or rage.
• The ally you defend is sturdier.
• The clock and the grade times are 50 percent longer.

Expect a longer run than Normal, and plan on more potions.

What it pays

	Normal	Hard
Full-reward clears a day	3	2
EXP and lumens	Base	1.35 times
Tokens	Base	Twice
Material rewards, such as Ward Starstone, Prism of Revelation and Kaleidoscope	One roll	One extra roll
The quest's soul	Base	1.5 times as likely

The two counts are separate: each quest pays 3 Normal and 2 Hard rewarded runs a day. An S grade's extra roll still stacks on top of Hard's.

At the board

The board shows one side at a time. The Hard button above the gold ENTER button opens the Hard side. It names the party you need and how many Hard runs you have left today. The Hard side shows a red Hard crest, the party size, your Hard clears today, your best Hard time and the Hard rewards. ‹ Normal switches back. The Normal side keeps a small HARD chip with the same runs-left count.

In Challenges, the PARTY QUESTS tab shows each quest's Hard runs left.

In the run

The banner says HARD. The result card says HARD CLEARED and "Hard rewards 1/2 used".

Helping

Used both Hard clears? You can still enter Hard to help friends. The run pays nothing at all, and the board says HELPING · NO REWARDS. The same goes for Normal. See Party Quests.
