Reference notes

  1. S3 difficulty is available only to Ambition of the Illuminus players.
  2. The area drops listed here apply only to Galvapas and Zamvapas as they are ten levels above the mission's base enemy level. In a few cases, however, the extra levels are not enough to move their area drops into the next tier, hence certain columns being merged together.
