Do levels make a hidden difference to damage?

Solution 1:

Yes it is, there is a damage multiplier that is applied to your character when you are facing an enemy. If the enemy level is :

  • strictly less than 3 level(s) above you : the damage multiplier is 1 (nothing changes)
  • 3 or more levels above you : the damage multiplier is 0.88^level difference. Which mean the higher the level difference, the smaller the damage multiplier (and so the less damage you deal).
