Did you know…
Mar 6th
You have no doubt noticed that enemies in this game come in a variety of difficulty levels. There are seven difficulty levels, and each is identified by a different kind of coloured circle around the enemy’s portrait.
(In addition to the seven difficulty levels described below, there are also ‘rare’ enemies whose portrait circles will be green at the top blending into their normal colour at the bottom. These rare enemies drop special loot, such as shards.)
