T4CD2Pubbable

AuthorInspired by pH-JPEG's ND. Does not require clients to have CD2, MEV or DEA. All difficulties are roughly based on Haz 6 HP, dmg scaling & Haz 7 attack, movement & projectile speed.

Chart editorA middle difficulty in Zeta's trilogy (DL, DW, DP and DR), it plays similarly to ND. This series has some pretty creative new modded enemies, and the most surprising thing of all is that is fully pubbable: the author uses different kinds of vanilla enemies such as rockpox and kursite to signal that some bug does something different, instead of using CD2's non-pubbable material changes.

About tier T4

Introduction to cave madness. This tier is similar to the previous one but the difficulty picks up following the theme of faster waves, the introduction of new modded enemies and possibly higher scalings (ie. Hazard 7 resistances and damage). The pacing starts to be quite important and almost all difficulties listed here contain wavespawners, higher nitra costs and other tricks to force it.
