changedWelcome to the first installment of our new *Weekly Challenge Report—A quick look at what’s hot, what hurts, and who’s barely surviving it. Each week, we’ll highlight the current weekly challenge in the game, show off the party setup, and maybe toss in a few tips (or warnings) along the way.

changedWelcome to the first installment of our new *Weekly Challenge ReportYes, we know that there's only 2-ish days left on this one - don't worry! We'll be back with another one again this week. Just think of it as two for the price of one! Except it's free.

changedWelcome to the first installment of our new *Weekly Challenge ReportAnyway, let’s kick things off with a scorcher: The Floor is Lava. You’re fast. You’re burning. And if you’re not careful, you’re very, very dead. ☠️

🔥 Here’s what you’re dealing with:

🔥 Extreme Burning – Everything’s on fire. Yes, even you. 💨 Ludicrous Speed – Blink and you miss a turn. 🏆 Double Boons – If you survive, you feast. 🦴 Spiritual + Vigorous Monsters – Enemies hit harder and don’t skip leg day. 🎲 Lucky – …but hey, at least the cards might love you?

🧙‍♂️ This Week’s Party:

🧠 Nezglekt – He knows all. Sees all. Also heals all, surprisingly. 💎 Evelyn – Crystal queen with enough arcane energy to power a small city. 🎻 Gustav – He buffs, sings, and yes, of course he brought the lute. 🛡️ Heiner – He’s the wall. He’s tired. He’s doing his best.

This run’s got tempo, pressure, and plenty of chances to get absolutely cooked if you lose focus. But if you make it to the third floor…

⸻

🃏 You’ll earn these:

Two card backs, plenty of loot, and bragging rights if you make it through without becoming delicious BBQ.

Hmm. Now I'm hungry.
