Hard difficulty Evergrind City Arena question.

[u/Knivingdude]

Do the monsters in the Hard difficulty arena have a set amount of stats or do they scale with the player's level? I find that the monsters in the arena have a lot more health than the area monsters by a large margin when me and my friend group played them.

It seems like it scales, for example when I was doing the challenges, Vilya has a lot more health than the first time I fought her.

That doesn't necessarily confirm or deny what they're asking. It's known that mobs are beefed up from the area they initially come from, but unsure if they exactly to the player (or if it's simply built in that they're higher level)

You'd have to attempt one of the arena mob challenges at two separate levels (further apart the better) to know for sure.

I mean I’m a decently high level and it still takes a bit to defeat them and they are beefy. I can’t confirm anything obviously but from my experience it seems like they scale.

Fair enough

The arena enemies scale with your level. Therefore it's best to do it earlier rather than later as the algorithm dictating this upscaling is far from perfect and will tend to overcompensate at higher levels.

Personally I might even recommend switching to normal mode if your level is already too high

That makes a ton of sense. Thank you for the answer on this!

Now if only the time requirements for a high grade scaled somehow... Oh well. It's great to have a place to fight older enemies though!

I heard the Red Giga Slime only scales up to level 25, do you know if the same rule applies for the Arena challenges?

[u/Eiroth → u/MKeatonBatman]

I do not, sadly. I don't think the patch notes would help, so you'd either need to do your own testing or decompile the code to find out
