ABOUT MARTYR MODE

Martyr Mode is our version of an ultra-challenging, endgame mode with randomization, customization, and scoreboards. In it, players build a deck of Challenge Cards in order to apply challenging new rules to their Death of a Wish run in exchange for score multipliers.

In Martyr Mode, the cumulative score of each mandatory encounter is recorded and factored into your final score at the end of each run. Bonus points are rewarded for completing optional objectives and taking on Challenge Cards. The start of each track will present players with three Challenge Cards to pick from. Challenge Cards introduce new rule modifiers that mix up combat and increase difficulty. These include rules such as:

Comeback - Upon recovering from a status effect, enemy attacks are 100% more powerful for 10 seconds.
Break Invuln (ii) - Enemy invulnerable after recovering from Break for 4 seconds
Lost Grace (ii) - Reduces non-S Rank Corruption reduction by 75%.

Each Challenge Card will introduce more challenging rules, but grant greater score bonuses during a run. Challenge Cards will stack cumulatively over the course of a players entire run, so it is critical to make deliberate decisions about which cards to add to your deck and when. Escalating the risk can provide great rewards, but only if you can survive to complete them.

There are 40 challenge cards in all, and an infinite range of ways to mix and match them creatively to tune a run for a high score. How will you rise to the challenge?
