Daily Descent and Weekly Rite
The same seed, map and Ember Mutators for everyone: one scored Daily Descent a day, unlimited Weekly Rite attempts, public boards, rite chests and titles.
Once a day and once a week, everyone gets the same dungeon: the same seed, the same map, the same Ember Mutators. Ten floors, today's seed, one scored attempt. How deep, how fast? A five-floor gauntlet under three Ember Mutators. Unlimited tries; your best counts.
| Daily Descent | Weekly Rite | |
|---|---|---|
| Floors · mutators | 10 · 2 | 5 · 3 |
| Attempts | one scored attempt a day (practice is free) | unlimited; your best counts |
| Per floor reached | +1000 | +1500 |
| Per kill · elite · boss | +10 · +40 · +300 | +10 · +40 · +500 |
| Each time you go down | −400 | −600 |
| Clearing every floor | +2500, plus 4 per second under 30 min | +3000, plus 6 per second under 13 min |
| Dying | −1000 | no extra penalty |
Every posted run earns a rite chest: 150 gold + 40 per hero level, 2 Arcane Essence and one rare item at your level.
Ember Mutators
Each rite rolls its mutators from the period's seed: never more than one severe one.
| Mutator | Effect | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodthirst | Every kill heals the party 3% of max HP. | Mild |
| Iron Hides | Foes have +35% health. | Mild |
| Leaky Flasks | Potions heal half. | Mild |
| Quickened | Everyone moves 25% faster. | Mild |
| Smothered Light | Your light shrinks; the dark closes in. | Mild |
| Quickened Dead | Foes move 20% faster. | Mild |
| Cold Hearth | No healing or flask on this floor's stairs. | Nasty |
| Ember Rain | Embers fall on you every few seconds. | Nasty |
| Emberfury | Foes deal +40% damage. | Nasty |
| Glass Cannon | You deal and take +50% damage. | Nasty |
| The Horde | Packs are 35% bigger. | Nasty |
| Dry Flasks | Potions can't be drunk. | Nasty |
| Twin Champions | Twice the elite packs. | Severe |
| Vengeful Dead | Foes burst into flame when they die. | Severe |
Top 10 and top 1% finishes (with at least 100 entrants) earn titles through achievements, and a perfect Weekly Rite (every floor, never downed, under par) earns Riteborn.
