Daily Descent

Same run for all. First try ranks.

What it is

One descent a day, the same for everyone. The date (in UTC) fixes the seed, so the floors, enemies, shops and luck are identical for every player, and it fixes two more things:

• the hero: one of all six, and it may be one you have not unlocked yet;
• the trials: one of the three trials, or sometimes two.

Everything else is levelled too: no Greed, the base passive, every set in the loot whether you have unlocked it or not, no treasure boons and no lessons.

Playing it

"Daily Descent" appears on the title once you have played one run. Its panel shows the day's hero and trials, and four cells: your FLOOR, your RANK, your STREAK and the time to the NEXT one.

• Your first descent of the day is the one that counts. Anything after it that day is practice, and the button says so.
• Abandoning your first try still records it, at the floor you reached.
• Starting it abandons a run you have in progress.

Free and full

Since version 2.9.4 the Daily is free to play down to floor 10. A free player's Daily stops at the sealed stair, so its best result is floor 10; with the full game it runs all thirty floors and can be won.

The board

Join the board and your first try is ranked under Today: a win first, then the deeper floor, then fewer turns. After the run the end screen shows "Daily board: #4 of 37" and a "Copy result" button that copies a line like "Gold Below Daily 2026-10-13 · Wren · floor 14".

The streak

Finish a Daily on consecutive days and your streak grows; miss a day and it starts again at 1.

What it earns

A Daily is its own thing. It earns no best floor, wins, hero unlocks, borders, Greed levels, treasures or kept gear. A few things do carry over:

• battles won in your set-unlock sets;
• a death's gold, to the dragon's hoard and toward Anselm;
• Codex discoveries and a Ledger row tagged "daily";
• the All time board.

"REPLAY" on its end screen plays the same descent again as a seed-code run, if that day's hero is open to you: practice, never ranked.
