Higher estimated risk · Safety first
No route meets the selected risk threshold in this rough model. These estimates do not establish whether your character can survive a run.
- At level 92, you get 62% of the XP from level 85 monsters after adjusting for the level difference. Other XP bonuses and penalties apply separately.
- The route score, killing-speed score and risk rating are rough guide estimates, not measured XP per hour or survival chances.
- No listed immunities match your damage. Check in-game for other monster immunities.
- At a players setting of 1, the base monster XP and life multipliers are 1×. We do not assume this improves XP per hour without measured clear times.
