Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Positioning, ability sequencing, and squad builds are the core
Endless Legend
faction-specific yield optimization
