If you have prepared enough as what they recommend above. Next month you would be able to clear the first few maps in hard mode easily.

The true is, in the 2 previous events, the enemys from both hard and easy mode in the first few maps (E1-2) are so similiar that we saw complains of "Why give us difficulty selection in the first place?". Of course we all go hard base on rewards. Except some of us who wants reward from other mode more than hard mode's reward. After that, you will feel the differents in difficulty in later maps (E4-6), hence you can choose easy mode from there onward or step up to medium if you are confident with your preparation.

Remember to start the event with HARD mode, the first few maps' hard mode rewards are usually unique and helpful in the future. You will regret it if you don't.
