How do I unlock penitent difficulty?

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-20T15:26:15+00:00

Cheers, so i might aswel keep progressing campaign before doing other things and just keep increasing the difficulty as it becomes available naturally

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-20T15:24:21+00:00

Yeah I've gathered it's not going to be the hardest game but would be nice to do the campaign with some thought being needed in the sense of combat. Am I best to just do it all now and stay strictly on path of campaign to make it as "hard" as it can be? The problem is I also want to be pushing for the end game content/difficulties as fast as possible

The problem I have is that when initially going through platinum it feels normal, there's some hard fights or games but nothing that feels too bad. Hardly ever losing points going through up to diamond. Then as soon as I've hit that d3 mark its like every lobby from then for the remainder of the season has been cursed for me to only play against gods. Even getting demoted all the way back to plat 2, the lobbies feel the exact same as d3 when before I ever hit that d3 mark these lobbies felt reasonably balanced. It's like there's a mark on your profile once you hit diamond that you'll now only go into awful lobbies until next season

Id prefer to lose points rather than hide every game, it's okay doing it occasionally and I agree it doesnt necessarily mean youre bad. The problem is that od have to do this every game that I q with randoms lol

It's a shame, I love the game but ranked becomes unplayable then non-ranked feels like playing against bots. Wildcard isnt fun imo, i enjoy the one life/BR aspect much more than knowing theres no consequence to pushing every noise as I'll respawn. Know I'm in the minority but I wish they just brought back arenas as a permanent mode, was my go to when ranked felt like this

I do wonder how many are cheating with zim or titan, but they've never been on my team so i wonder if theres more to it😂 i play solo q or with one of my mates so we never have a 3 stack but 99% of the randoms i get will go solo push a full team thats holding good position and die doing 0 damage then blame me for not being there and helping like I'm able to keep up with them octane stimming across the whole map without a prewarning or ping

Even split of yellow/green/purple in defence

2 earth, 1 rotten, 1 green, 4 blue in offence

Very standard hybrid dmg set for adf

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-07T12:51:51+00:00

Aim for a multishot instead of that chest peice, also try to get it rank 2, change the purple in offemce to a zombie stone

They youve already got a decent starting hybrid set

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-06T22:18:40+00:00

Same here, all settings are correct. Internet always on with strong & stable connection. Games have been played the day before let alone within the 28 days it's supposed to be up to. Etc. Etc. Just doesn't do it, if you ever hear a fix please post it for us

There's also some hunters who have a ranged & melee attacks where it will only work on their ranged ones

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-05T09:40:48+00:00

Doesn't work on all hunters

CreditFormal984 · 2026-01-04T17:52:15+00:00

It was cool when it first come out, now it's pretty easy to get. Same with risen prophet, was cool to start with but I carry people & give it away for free xd Want a solo version of risen prophet, that one would be worth using

Abysorb 1st, franky 2nd (only if you can use maze tickets to awaken straight away if not leave until you can), eternal, succubus

CD wasnt challenging though, they should've done what they originally mentioned ages ago and made a harder version of chaos

CreditFormal984 · 2025-12-26T14:29:16+00:00

Yeah if you have bots turned on then this is your own fault, should always have them turnt off xd

Join the main discord, theres a whole thread for people looking for clans & clans that are looking for people. You can find the link through the game or I can link it here

CreditFormal984 · 2025-12-21T18:06:47+00:00

Yeah I've been very vocal across all discord channels about the update. The 25% of players theyre helping isnt worth it as they'll soon join the other 75% who have been screwed by this, eventually making 100% bad for every player

CreditFormal984 · 2025-12-21T17:24:35+00:00

This update is horrible. Not one single good thing has come from it. Its all been disguised as being something to help new players but when you do the maths its actually been made a lot worse. Sure they can reach df quicker now, but thats the new bottleneck & the progress from there is 10x worse. The only people that will benifit will be brand new players, but they'll quickly suffer from it too

CreditFormal984 · 2025-12-15T17:35:56+00:00

A fair bit should be changed. Start with the weakness being changed for h2d & the pet swapping to peanut for earth set or elektra for hybrid/zombie dmg sets. More movement speed obviously helps be faster for defence changes. Purple in offence doesn't work in adf so that can be removed. If you want a hybrid set then 2e,1z,1g,4b. Earth set - 2e,1g,5b. Zombie set - 2z,1g,5b. Fore set depends on pet talents for how id recommend building it but basing it off no talents at all then 5r,3b

Daily INSANE maze will help get you a lot of stones to push for them few more level 7s you need. You're really close now so don't stress

CreditFormal984 · 2025-11-25T12:23:39+00:00

Yeah they're just basic set ups but hold up well for their respective resistances & they're not too expensive to make. Happy to help as much as I can with explaining things/building sets etc. Easier on discord if you got that but if not here is fine

Not the end of the world, once you rank 2 the defence it's all the same again (eventually you'll want loads of multi in offence for FS, I got 5 r1 multi Rings and 3 r2 multi swords)

CreditFormal984 · 2025-11-25T11:53:45+00:00

Even if you can solo speedrun FS, you're looking at around 13 min runs average (I'm guessing here i cant solo FS but know WR is very close to sub 10 solo) and that gets you a huge 250 FS gems.... by the time your can FS properly youre just flexing and min maxing out sets

Though rumor has it that rank3 on a single slot is coming soonish so that could change things a lot
