One of the most significant aspects of Gunfire Reborn that sets it apart from other games in the genre is its difficulty level. The game is challenging, even for experienced gamers, and requires a certain level of skill and strategy to progress.
In addition to the standard difficulty mode, the game features a reincarnation mode that takes the difficulty level to new heights. Here, we will explore the various aspects of Gunfire Reborn’s difficulty level, including the challenges presented by the reincarnation mode and strategies for overcoming them.
Unlocking The Reincarnation Difficulty
To unlock the Reincarnation difficulty mode in Gunfire Reborn, you must first complete the game on the Hard difficulty mode, which will then unlock the Nightmare mode.
To access the Reincarnation mode, you need to complete the Nightmare mode by accomplishing a run in either the Hyperborean Jokul or Duo Fjord levels.
These levels are incredibly challenging and require advanced tactics and strategies to complete successfully. Once you have achieved this, the Reincarnation mode will become available to you, offering an even greater level of difficulty with randomized levels and stronger enemies.
The Reincarnation mode features eight difficulty levels, each progressively more challenging than the previous one.
| Modifier | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 | Level 7 | Level 8 |
| Act 1 HP | 2.9x | 3.4x | 3.9x | 4.4x | 4.9x | 5.4x | 5.9x | 5.9x |
| Act 2 HP | 3.4x | 4.4x | 5.4x | 6.4x | 7.4x | 8.4x | 9.4x | 9.4x |
| Act 3 HP | 4.0x | 5.6x | 7.2x | 8.8x | 10.4x | 12.0x | 13.6x | 13.6x |
| Act 4 HP | 4.5x | 5.6x | 7.2x | 8.8x | 10.4x | 12.0x | 13.6x | 13.6x |
| Act 1 DMG | 2.1x | 2.4x | 2.7x | 3.0x | 3.3x | 3.6x | 3.9x | 3.9x |
| Act 2 DMG | 2.0x | 2.2x | 2.4x | 2.6x | 2.8x | 3.0x | 3.2x | 3.2x |
| Act 3 DMG | 2.02x | 2.24x | 2.46x | 2.68x | 2.90x | 3.12x | 3.34x | 3.34x |
| Act 4 DMG | 2.02x | 2.24x | 2.46x | 2.68x | 2.90x | 3.12x | 3.34x | 3.34x |
| Soul Essence | 1.25x | 1.30x | 1.35x | 1.40x | 1.45x | 1.50x | 1.55x | 1.55x |
This table shows the different modifiers for each level of the Reincarnation difficulty mode in Gunfire Reborn. The modifiers affect the health and damage of enemies as well as the amount of soul essence you can acquire.
As you progress through each level, the modifiers increase, making the enemies stronger and more difficult to defeat. The table can be used as a reference to help you prepare for each level of the Reincarnation mode and adjust your tactics and strategies accordingly.
Spiritual Remnants
During the game, players will encounter Spiritual Remnants that show at the beginning of each level, offering three spiritual blessings that you can buy using Soul Essence, not at the start of each act.
These blessings can provide significant advantages, such as increased health, damage, and critical hit chance, making them highly desirable for players seeking to improve their characters.
Here’s an example. The Crown Prince in Gunfire Reborn has a unique Spiritual Blessing known as Elemental Maestro, which provides him with a significant advantage in combat.
Once purchased from the Spiritual Remnant, this blessing provides the Crown Prince a buff every 10 seconds, which increases his Elemental damage by 100%. The buff has a short duration and can be renewed by purchasing the blessing again from the Spiritual Remnant.
Bizarre Dream
In Bizarre Dream mode in Gunfire Reborn, players can enable two new selections that can modify their gameplay experience. One of these options is called Spiritual Link, which provides players with sets containing Ascensions, Occult Scrolls, or weapons.
These sets offer various buffs and bonuses that can enhance a player’s character and make them more effective in combat.
To complete a set in Spiritual Link, players must obtain a specific number of Occult Scrolls or Ascensions, which are usually found by defeating enemies or opening chests.
For instance, the Guardian Warrior set for Xing Zhe build rewards the player with a 30% damage reduction, and to obtain it, players must obtain three Occult Scrolls or Ascensions in the set.
These can be obtained by acquiring Surprise Bonus, Enduring Caster, Spirit Bible, Shattered Soul, or Rich’s Privileges.
The second Bizarre Dream option is called Mysterious Jokul, which makes the Hyperborean Jokul level much more challenging but provides slight bonuses to help players prepare.
Pros And Cons
Pros
- Players can refresh their inventory of weapons, items, and upgrades without having to pay any Soul Essence. This can be especially useful for players who are looking for a specific item or upgrade to enhance their character's abilities.
- The Spiritual Remnant at the start of the Hyperborean Jokul level will not be frozen, unlike in the standard game mode. This means that players can buy blessings from the Spiritual Remnant at any time during the level. If a player already has three blessings, they can choose to discard one of them to obtain a new blessing from the Spiritual Remnant.
- Completing challenge events will grant players an extra ten Soul Essence. Challenge events are special events that occur during levels and offer players a chance to earn extra rewards, such as Soul Essence, weapons, or items. With this bonus Soul Essence, players can purchase more items or upgrades from the in-game shop and enhance their character's capabilities.
Cons
- The Hyperborean Jokul level features enemies with significantly increased difficulty. This is because all enemies in this level receive a boost of 2.1x to their Armor, Shields, and HP. As a result, defeating them requires more advanced tactics and strategies than in the standard game mode. This modification adds an extra layer of challenge to the game, making it more difficult even for experienced players.
- Players will encounter elite enemies that have been significantly enhanced, which makes them much more powerful than their standard counterparts.
- Players are unable to buy the Royal Guard spiritual Blessing; it is permanently in effect. If Royal Guard is enabled in Reincarnation 8 difficulty of Gunfire Reborn, the elite monster that it guarantees will spawn at the end of stage one in the Hyperborean Jokul instead of stage four.
- It will be harder to defeat the Pole Monarch. Even though the level of difficulty isn't as difficult as Reincarnation 8 in Gunfire Reborn, there remains a challenging occurrence. Reaching the 20% threshold of the Pole Monarch's aura bar will result in the achievement of all four improvements rather than just two.
- While engaging in multiplier, an invincible clone of the Pole Monarch will spawn and assault the player with all upgrades active each time the Pole Monarch begins draining an aura jar. Phase two of this clone, which can spawn two times, is reached.
About Phantom Peddler
This is a new addition to the game that randomly appears in stages, the same as the standard Peddler. However, the Phantom Peddler’s wares are improved, giving extra bonuses to weapons and Occult that are usually achievable otherwise.
The enhanced scrolls are usually worth the Soul Essence required to purchase them. These scrolls can significantly shift the course of a player’s run.
It provides powerful upgrades and bonuses, which can improve their characters’ abilities and change the game’s dynamics in many different ways.
Reincarnation 8 Difficulty
Reincarnation 8 is the highest difficulty level available in Gunfire Reborn, and it provides players with the ultimate challenge. This level is significantly more challenging than any other difficulty, with enemies having maximum HP and damage output across all acts.
Every boss stage is guaranteed to have a challenge event, including the final boss of each act. This means that players must be prepared to face additional challenges and obstacles, even when they are already engaged in a challenging boss battle.
These challenge events can vary in difficulty and type, and they can significantly impair a player’s progress if they are not adequately prepared. However, successfully completing these events can provide players with valuable rewards, such as additional Soul Essence, powerful weapons, and upgrades.
The rewards for completing Reincarnation 8 are significant, with players earning large amounts of Soul Essence and the chance to acquire powerful weapons and upgrades.
However, the difficulty of this level is not for the faint of heart, and only the most skilled and dedicated players will be able to conquer it.
Wrapping Up
Whether or not it is worth it to reach Reincarnation difficulty in Gunfire Reborn depends on the individual player’s goals, preferences, and skill level. For those who are up for the challenge, Reincarnation difficulty provides a thrilling and rewarding gameplay [1] experience that is unlike anything else in the game.
