Super MD:Difficulty

Dungeon Difficulty (Japanese: ダンジョンの難易度, Dungeon Difficulty) is essential information usually found in Dungeon info before entering a dungeon and Connection Orb missions.

Difficulty Range

Dungeons have a large range of difficulty, ranging from the trivial to a seemingly unbeatable challenge. This section will contain the difficulty ranges you may see for dungeons and expeditions.

Internally in the game's code, the difficulty that's displayed is determined by a hidden point system. This point system steadily increases by 2 points for each floor in a dungeon, but doesn't have any actual effect on gameplay. The difficulty that is calculated for missions uses the amount of points given to that target floor. (e.g., the 20th floor of the Buried Ruins has 78 points, thus showing 6 stars for the expedition)

Difficulty Ranges

Difficulty rating in points	Difficulty rating in Stars
1-17 points	★☆☆☆☆
18-25 points	★★☆☆☆
26-33 points	★★★☆☆
34-41 points	★★★★☆
42-63 points	★★★★★
64-99 points	★★★★★★
100-199 points	★★★★★★★
200-65535 points	★★★★★★★★

Difficulty Ranges for Dungeon Info

Difficulty rating in points	Difficulty rating label
1-11 points	"Normal"
12-19 points	"Difficult"
20-31 points	"Very Difficult"
32-65535 points	"Super Difficult"

As you can see, stars for missions on the Connection Orb range from a fairly accurate 1 - 8 stars, while dungeons themselves only use 4 labels for difficulty, being far more arbitrary. There are no means to view that dungeon's difficulty in a more precise way except through certain quests for it, which cannot be reviewed once completed.

List of Dungeons by difficulty

The difficulties listed for each dungeon in stars will only use the difficulty of the first floor. (i.e., the lowest value of the point range) The difficulty label range won't be included here, but can be determined using the table above. (e.g., Some dungeon's dungeon's difficulty ranges change between the first and last floor, such as Dribur Coal Mine being a Normal-Difficult dungeon)

Dungeon	Difficulty rating in points	Difficulty rating in stars
Open Pass (first visit)	4-6 points	★☆☆☆☆
Lush Forest (first visit)	5-11 points	★☆☆☆☆
Foreboding Forest (first visit)	6-12 points	★☆☆☆☆
Dribur Coal Mine	7-19 points	★☆☆☆☆
