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 Trait: Curse Bearer Curse Bearer for the bandit, which will add one layer of Trait: Cursed 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
