5x2 Spicy Fire, Fire X, Fire XP

by TheBrain

T1CD2Pubbable

AuthorA classic pub-friendly starter difficulty with two new harder variants. Fire can help new players acclimate to disruptive and special enemy pressure. Fire X adds pacing pressure with faster timers and Fire XP adds grunt constant pressure on top.

Chart editorThe base of Spicy Fire is Hazard 5x2 but with increased enemy diversity, which will make the game spawn more of the dangerous enemies such as wardens, menaces, mactera, etc. High diversity is a staple of harder difficulties and thus the Spicy editions are considered one of the best introductions to modded gameplay, usually used as training wheels for 6x2. Also unrelated, but if you ask me this difficulty should have been the new Hazard 5+.

About tier T1

The difficulties listed here are either a gentle step-up from Hazard 5 or a modified version of Hazard 5, and are a good introduction to modded gameplay. They have relaxed nitra costs which don't force the pacing and tend to be easy enough to be pubbable with vanilla players.
