Difficulty Affixes[]

Having the right difficulty affixes is essential for embarking on new challenges. You need to combine the right affixes to achieve the desired difficulty. Also, be wary: yellow affixes generally increase the challenge's difficulty,
while purple affixes grant specific ability enhancements, aiding in your successful completion. For instance, Sail from the Sky enhances Characters' levitating abilities, making it easier to evade enemies' damage. Pairing this with the Extraordinary League role amplifies your damage. Furthermore, there's a correlation between different affixes. For example, the continuous HP drain effect of the Armor of Corruption can synergize well with the Assault Hail, which boosts Characters' RoF. When paired with the Assault Vanguard role, the overall performance will be stellar!
However, not all yellow affixes are negative. Choose your affixes wisely to ensure a smooth progression.
