Customize your runs by selecting a difficulty from 1-10. Higher Run Difficulties will narrow the character traits you can use, but they'll reward more points. You can also earn additional points by activating Scourges, which either bolster enemy teams or hinder your own. Keep in mind that nodes 5 and 10 for Difficulties 5 and above will require specific characters to fully complete them. Also, note that the highest difficulties are not necessarily intended to be fully completed yet, so don’t worry too much if you can’t get to or complete Difficulty 8+ in the first run.
