i have a lot of trouble in hard mode, i could use a hand:)

Okay what are you stuck on in particluar?

mostly everything, im staring my story mode on medium, im already in the gate to heaven...

a little trick that may help you is to use the yellow orbs. they may not be as good but they are cheaper. also, if you already know about the level, be sure what class you use. later in the game, use the doppleganger if your the offensive side. if your for far ranged, do the gun class.

One nice ability is with swordmaster is having Nevan equipped and using the flying ability, keeps you out of range for most enemies/bosses. Sometimes it's a pain to get in the air and stay there but makes a world of difference because you take less damage, except the first boss will knock you down, the pain in the *bleep* one that likes to black practically every attack you make with it's scythe.
