Special Mechanics

 * 1) Selectable and changeable difficulty
 * 2) *This event has 3 ranks: easy (丙), medium (乙), hard (甲).
 * 3) *HQ Level 35 unlocks medium (?), HQ Level 80 unlocks hard.
 * 4) *You can choose the difficulty in each map separately.
 * 5) ** However, you can't choose to play hard on a map after choosing easy on the one before; you can only choose hard on a map if you chose hard or medium for the one before
 * 6) *When the difficulty is changed, the boss's health bar will be reset.
 * 7) *Once the map is cleared (boss HP bar is depleted and killed), you CANNOT change the difficulty anymore, but can still farm the map on difficulty used to clear it
 * 8) *Different difficulties give different medals, equipment and materials when clearing the maps.
 * 9) Combined Fleet in E-2, E-4
