The Frontier Hunter EX is out. It's no joke. Seems each round is completely random, or at least rotates. I cleared the middle path, first try with no items or deaths. Then I tried the End path that you unlock after clearing middle, didn't clear battle 4 of 5. So went back to the middle path and the units are completely different than my previous entry and harder.
Also there's the first jewel key too coming in about 15 min.
