Final FightvsSparkle 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Crowd-control timing and throw spacing
Sparkle 2
Accurate orb shots under advancing-chain pressure decide levels

Memorising waves and damage-efficient patterns
Sparkle 2
Enchantment loadouts and chain-combo planning add a solvable layer
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.
