Difficulty Levels - The Melter

I don't like it when games feature difficulty levels that amount to "More HP for enemies, less for you." For this game I want enemy behavior to feel different between the three difficulty levels. Read on for how Melters behave across them! 

Story Mode: Melters attack using basic fire attacks, easily countered by gear you can buy.

Standard Mode: The Melter gains a Heat Wave attack that debuffs defense for the whole party. This makes Melters the priority target in battles that feature multiple enemies.

Fish Frenzy: The game's hardest difficulty level. Melters in Fish Frenzy mode spawn two smaller, cuddlier Mini Melts on defeat. They're still dangerous but they can't debuff you. Do you prioritize taking out all the Melters first, or deal with the Minis before there are too many?

Difficulty level can be freely changed at any inn or resting spot throughout the game.
