What is Anguish mode?

Anguish mode is Ephinea’s own self-challenge mode, similar to Diablo III’s, that lets players take on tougher enemies. Characters of level 80 or above can choose any of the three Anguish levels at the lobby counter on Ultimate.

As you raise the Anguish level, enemies and rewards grow stronger accordingly:

Reward boosts:

  • Higher Hit on dropped weapons

Enemy boosts:

  • More damage
  • Higher ATP
  • Higher ATA
  • DFP unchanged
  • Higher EVP
  • Higher LCK (criticals)
  • Higher EDK
  • Higher special-attack resistance (ESP)

The Anguish level is set at the lobby counter when creating an Ultimate game. For each level, press TAB at the lobby counter to see the enemy, drop and experience boosts.
