The four sliders
| Option | Range | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Enemy density | 100% – 500% | More of the horde, each kill worth less |
| Enemy health | 100% – 500% | Health of the horde, elites, guardians and bosses |
| Enemy damage | 100% – 300% | How hard every enemy hits |
| Enemy speed | 100% – 150% | How fast every enemy runs |
The bottom line shows the resulting talent experience and boss loot chance multiplier, from ×1.00 up to ×2. The character screen shows "Normal difficulty" under the button while everything is at 100%.
When to raise them
- Not on a new class. Talent points do more for survival than the multiplier does for progress until you can reliably reach the third boss.
- Density first for area builds (Mage, Shaman, Warlock): more enemies feed area spells, though each kill is worth less.
- Farming gear: the loot chance multiplier also applies to boss drops, so a cleared zone is a good place to turn it up.
- Against the Odds (a Feat) needs a win with the Run Options at their full reward.
FAQ
Is there a hard mode in Azeroth Survivors?
Yes, through Run Options. You can raise enemy density and health up to 500%, damage up to 300% and speed up to 150%. Harder settings raise talent experience and boss loot odds up to ×2.
Does harder difficulty give more rewards?
Up to ×2 talent experience and boss loot chance. Past that the game says "the run only gets harder", so extra difficulty beyond ×2 is for challenge, not reward.
