Monster stats, level, type and dungeon difficulty

Basically the monster have a range of abilities and stats, and each type present a unique difficulty to the player. Also, the higher their level, the stronger they are.

Base stats and level

For every monster, two formulas to determine the base stats depending on the level. Then, depending on the monster type, modifiers are applied :

for base hp, you use (n(n+6)-1), where n is the monsters level,
for base attack, you use (n*(n+5))/2, where n is the monsters level.

The monsters base stat depending on the level are shown below :

Level	Base Attack	Base Health
1	3	6
2	7	15
3	12	26
4	18	39
5	25	54
6	33	71
7	42	90
8	52	111
9	63	134
10	75	159

Monster type modifiers and traits

After these base stats have been calculated, modifiers and traits are applied. So each monster type present a unique difficulty to the player :

Each monster type has an attack and hp modifiers, which indicates what percent of the base number provided below they have. For example, Bandits have 100% hp and 70% attack. Therefore a level 3 Bandit would do 8 damage and have 26 hp.
They also receive traits, which give them special abilities (such as Curse Bearer for the bandit, which will add one layer of Cursed to the player every time he gets hit by the Bandit, or when he kills it)

However, note that bosses don't follow the same progression as other monsters : they usually are stronger (better stats, and different traits) than what would a regular level 10 monster have.

Monster stats and dungeon level

Dungeon	Monster Difficulty	Notes
Hobbler's Hold	80%	-
Den of Danger	100%	-
Venture Cave	100%	-
Western Jungle	100%	-
Eastern Tundra	100%	-
Northern Desert	100%	-
Southern Swamp	100%	-
Doubledoom	110%	-
Grimm's Grotto	140%	-
Rock Garden	100%	-
Cursed Oasis	115%	-
Shifting Passages	130%	-
Havendale Bridge	105%	-
The Labyrinth	130%	-
Magma Mines	130%	-
Hexx Ruins	100%	-
Ick Swamp	120%	-
Slime Pit	120%	-
Berserker Camp	100%	-
Creeplight Ruins	110%	-
Halls of Steel	120%	-
Demonic Library	140%	-
Dragon Isles	140%	-
Naga City	150%	Arena: 120%
Vicious Steel	140%	-
Namtar's Lair	150%	Underworld: 100%
Towers of Gaan-Telet	100%	Each tower has cumulative +10% difficulty

The indicated percentages get applied to increase both the Attack and Health of all monsters present on the map. If you prepare the Vicious Token, then the above percentages get ignored, and instead each monster has 160% Attack / 200% Health. (This also means that on towers 7-9 of Vicious Gaan Telet, monsters will have lower Attack if you prepared the Vicious Token, than if you did not.)

Distribution and level

Not counting bosses and special uniques, each dungeon contains 38 monsters, with the following level distribution

Level	Number	Total XP
1st	10	10
2nd	5	10
3rd	4	12
4th	4	16
5th	4	20
6th	3	18
