The difficulty of the region increases elemental effects by a factor. (% ^ factor)
 
  
For example: Usually universal takes 25% damage from darkness, but on impossible difficulty it's 0.25^8 = ~0.00001525878

==Difficulty Factor==
 +
During [[Tower Testing]], higher difficulty modes exaggerate the base strength or weakness by a certain factor. The formula for this interaction is:
 +
 
 +
{{Math|(''Eff'' / 100)<sup>''Fac''</sup> × 100}}
 +
 
 +
Where:
 +
* {{Math|''Eff''}} is the '''base effectiveness''', as a percentage, found in the table above.
 +
* {{Math|''Fac''}} is the '''difficulty factor''', found in the table below.

For example, Fire enemies would usually take 25% damage from nature attacks. On impossible difficulty, this damage would be reduced to just {{Math|(25 / 100)<sup>8</sup> × 100 &#61; ~0.0015%}} damage.

On the other hand, if using water attacks, the fire enemies on impossible difficulty would instead take {{Math|(200 / 100)<sup>8</sup> × 100 &#61; 25,600%}} damage.

Every enemy, every module and every attack has a specific element. Elements can be strong or weak against certain other elements.

Strengths & Weaknesses

A list of the elements and their effectiveness against other elements can be found in the following table.

Universal Universal element 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 200%

Difficulty Factor

During Tower Testing, higher difficulty modes exaggerate the base strength or weakness by a certain factor. The formula for this interaction is:

(Eff / 100)Fac × 100

Where:

  • Eff is the base effectiveness, as a percentage, found in the table above.
  • Fac is the difficulty factor, found in the table below.

For example, Fire enemies would usually take 25% damage from nature attacks. On impossible difficulty, this damage would be reduced to just (25 / 100)8 × 100 = ~0.0015% damage.

On the other hand, if using water attacks, the fire enemies on impossible difficulty would instead take (200 / 100)8 × 100 = 25,600% damage.

Difficulty Factor
Easy 1
Medium 1.5
Hard 2
Insane 3
Nightmare 4
Impossible 8
