[list][*]Enemies have 25% less health points [*]Enemies become enraged after a long time [*]Guardians destroyed in battle give back 75% of their Anima to Otto[/list] [*]Apprentice: For looking looking for quick and approachable battles. [list][*]Enemies have 50% less health points [*]Enemies never become enraged [*]Guardians destroyed in battle give back 100% of their Anima to Otto[/list][/list] [list][*][b]New control schedule regarding the Action Order[/b]:[/list] [list][*]In the base game: [list][*]Pressing the Action Order once sent the order to one selected Guardian [*]Holding the Action Order sent the order to every selected Guardian[/list] [*]In the Patch: [list][*]Pressing the Action Order once sends the order to every selected Guardian [*]Holding the Action Order sends the order to every selected Guardian one by one[/list][/list] This new control schedule is activated by default but players wishing to revert to the original control schedule can go to the Options Menu.

[*]Difficulty can be changed in the Level Selection screen. [*]Difficulty can also be changed in-game but only by being decreased.[/list] [*]You can switch from “Master” to “Shaper” but you cannot switch from “Shaper” to “Master” without resetting the level. [*]When you finish a level in a difficulty, your score is applied to every lower difficulty : [list][*]If you finish a level with an A in “Master”, you get also an A in “Shaper” and “Apprentice” difficulty as well. [*]The Level Selection Screen shows you which level you finished in which difficulty. [*]Achievements are not impacted by the selected difficulty. You can get every achievement of the game in “Apprentice” mode.[/list][/list]
