We're going to skip pretty much every single fight except the mandatory ones (flee from those that you trigger by accident against the local enemies), making some occasional level ups to 'round up' the EXP and stats by opening some specific chests. It's going to be a rather fun experience, certainly more exciting than grinding those Battle Trophies forever, and all in all it's a good way to give this game some replay value even after hundreds of hours spent farming and grinding. The goal of this page is to provide very basic guidelines to speedrun through the game as quickly as possible on Chaos (of course this will work fine on Universe difficulty too). For your information, on Earth the enemies have 0.7x HP and 0.8x ATK/INT/GRD (normal Rush Gauge rate). Considering Galaxy as the 'normal' difficulty, the enemies on Universe have stats 1.3x times higher (stats include HP, ATK, INT, GRD) and a Rush Gauge that goes up 1.5x times faster the enemies on Chaos have stats 1.7x times higher and a Rush Gauge that goes up 2x times faster. The real problem with Chaos difficulty is that you can't see the enemy's target icon (the flashing yellow/red or just red target around it), and therefore Blindsiding is a bit more complicated because you have to 'feel' when it's time to pull off the move. Compared to Galaxy, Universe and Chaos are not much harder.
