Holy shit. I had no idea. I saw the sword but I just assumed it was the equipped icon or something. You can really min/max in this game. Also, its crazy how Hard is so easy since you dont even need a basic understanding or use for a ton of these mechanics in the game to beat it easy. Hard mode probably only requires Gambit uses at times and thats a stretch.

My first run I wasnt using Gambits for stat increases. Hell most of my units didnt have Gambits. I definitely didnt use the really good ones. I didnt use Adjutants at all, let alone maximize it. I didnt even change my skills out until way down the line in my first playthrough because I didnt know they didnt auto equip. Maddening must be a massive bump in difficulty to make all these things matter

Battalions and Combat arts are probably the biggest difference. Like the fact that you can not use Battalions on hard mode and not have it make too much a difference is crazy. Look at something like Goneril Valkyries, a B-rank Battalion. It gives 8 Attack, 6 defense, 20 hit, and 15 crit. 8 Attack for most units is the equivalent of like 16 level ups. That is bananas. The idea that you could have power up to that level and casually disregard it without it significantly impacting gameplay is insane.

Combat Arts generally lack the ability to double, which means 95% of the time, they are out damaged by a unit who would double. When most units double in Hard, then most combat arts are not worth it. In Maddening where doubling is very rare, combat arts become way more important. Something like Temptest Lance becomes a life saver, netting a bunch of kills you would otherwise never get.
