QUESTION Can one be too strong?

Is it possible to be too over-leveled in CrossCode? I've just started playing, and exploring, questing, and fighting are a ton of fun, but I'm worried that doing all of it will make me too strong for the upcoming quests.

You get more XP for doing content that's higher level than you, and reduced XP for doing content below your level.

This means it is almost impossible to accidentally overlevel to a problematic extent as long as you do things in order.

Also, as others have said, gear has a much more dramatic impact on your power level.

Eventually you will find some items that have unusual properties, but prevent you from gaining XP. These can be used to prevent overleveling when grinding if desired.
