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 in Template:GameTitle.

Difficulty Range

Dungeons have a large range of difficulty, ranging from the trivial to a seemingly unbeatable challenge.

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 number of points given to that target floor. For example, floor 20 of the Buried Ruins has 78 points, and thus it shows 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 - 65,535 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 - 65,535 points	"Super Difficult"

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 use the difficulty of the first floor and last floor (i.e., the lowest and highest values of the point range). The difficulty label range won't be included here, but can be determined using the table above (e.g., Some dungeons' difficulty ranges change between the first and last floor, such as Dribur Coal Mine being a Normal to Difficult dungeon).

Some of these values are not to be taken too seriously. There are some dungeons with the same difficulty but actually have drastically different power levels. Such as Hidden Cave having Pokémon at level 85 but Lake of Enlightenment with Pokémon at level 55 at its highest.
