Difference Between Difficulty Levels

More Rewards

When playing in higher difficulties, you get higher loot in World of Light. For example, on Hard, you get the highest rewards, as compared to playing the other two modes.

The following rewards are an example of the differences of reward between difficulty level. Take note that in the World of Light, your rewards depend on the content of the battle as well, not just the difficulty setting.

Rewards for Ally Power 0

Rewards for Ally Power 810

Rewards for Ally Power 2080

Harder Enemies

Increased Enemy CPU Levels

Enemy CPU Level increases alongside difficulty, so enemies are definitely harder and more skilled at higher difficulties. Make sure to come prepared!

More HP For Bosses

Bosses are found in dungeons across the World of Light, and the higher the difficulty, the higher their HP is. They're challenging enough on Normal, so if you're feeling too overwhelmed don't be afraid to turn it down to an easier mode!
