Quick swaps matter in Lightning mode
Party Hard
Walking and stabbing need timing but little dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Party Hard
Partygoers wander on RNG, not adaptive minds
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Random drops drive cascades and badge luck
Party Hard
Random traps, events and witness behaviour vary each level
Optimization5 vs 6
Party Hard leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Special-gem setups and mode-specific strategies
Party Hard
Trap usage and isolation tactics converge to known strategies
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
