The legendary difficulty will power up the enemies and make them stronger than ever before. Each enemy will get a specific buff at the start of each battle, making them stronger than the ones in the Charismatic mode.

Powerful enemies might also have enhanced aura surrounding them. This includes Dragons, Terrain bosses, and more. Defeating enemies in Legendary difficulty will reward better gears and increase in rare item drops.
