Abstract
XCOM: Chimera Squad has 4 difficulty settings. For those wondering what values change depending on the setting, I've laid out all changes in the Strategic Layer here. If you are wondering what difficulty you may wish to play on, have a look to see the difference between them on a Strategic viewpoint.

This is my first time doing something like this. If there is a mistake or error down below, please let me know!

Huh so it really only decreases the amount/quality of rewards you get, besides the scars and small penalty to unrest.

I wonder if the enemy spawns per mission change at all.
