Hardcore Mode

From Phantasy Star Universe Clementine

Hardcore Mode is a new way to play Phantasy Star Universe: Clementine as of March 2022! Much of the Clementine experience remains the same, but EXP, MP, PA levelling rates and drop rates are boosted; however, if your character dies without a Scape Doll, it is deleted!

Most of the information on this wiki is still applicable to Hardcore Mode, but specific details are in effect which will be detailed below.

Creating a Hardcore Mode account

Hardcore Mode accounts are separate from regular Clementine accounts - you cannot have Hardcore characters on a regular account and vice versa. To create a Hardcore Mode account, first update the Clementine launcher, which is available here. Extract this into your Clementine folder over the existing online.exe, then open the launcher.

Click the Account button, fill in your details, and choose "Hardcore" from the Account Type dropdown. Fill in the rest of the information, click "Register", and then your account will be created; you can then launch the game and login with the username you chose.

Hardcore Mode specifics

Characters created on Hardcore Mode accounts will have their names appear in purple text. Hardcore Mode characters can join parties with Hardcore Mode and non-Hardcore Mode characters. You cannot add a player shop to your room in Hardcore Mode. Hardcore Mode characters can also not be revived with Giresta or Moon Atomizers, so be sure to always carry a Scape Doll!

  • Only one Scape Doll can be held in a Hardcore Mode character's inventory.
  • Mission rank is lowered when a character dies, even if a Scape Doll is used.
  • If a Hardcore Mode character dies without a Scape Doll, the character is deleted immediately and you will be disconnected from the server.
  • If a Hardcore Mode character over lv100 dies, a banner will be broadcast to all players of all modes, detailing their level at the time of death, and what enemy they died to.
  • If a Hardcore Mode character leaves a mission, they will not be able to rejoin that party until the mission has been completed or abandoned.
  • Hardcore Mode characters cannot leave a party during a boss fight.

Hardcore Mode boosts

All characters in Hardcore Mode are subject to the following boosts:

  • 2x EXP (which stacks with all other regular EXP boosts)
  • 2x MP
  • 2x Drop rate
  • 2x Mission Clear Meseta rewards
  • 4x PA EXP
  • 1.35x Rare Mission award rate
  • 1.5x Rare Enemy spawn rate

Everything else is pretty much the same

There hasn't been any Hardcore Mode-specific rebalancing, so the rest of the information on the wiki should be relevant to Hardcore Mode players! Hope you enjoy the new mode and don't die to a Pannon late on...
