Points are collected through doing a variety of different things, such as killing enemies and unlocking chests. It is also important for the player to collect better gear and stat upgrades, not just to defeat the boss, but to optimize the amount of points you can collect. At the end of the run, regardless of whether or not you beat the boss, your final score will be put on the leaderboards.

The Daily Run is an unlockable mode in Dead Cells, available after collecting the Challenger Rune from The Concierge. This is a competitive mode, featuring a different map every day. The goal is to collect the most points possible while defeating the boss within the time limit.

Points are collected through doing a variety of different things, such as killing enemies and unlocking chests. It is also important for the player to collect better gear and stat upgrades, not just to defeat the boss, but to optimize the amount of points you can collect. At the end of the run, regardless of whether or not you beat the boss, your final score will be put on the leaderboards.

The Daily Run also offers blueprint rewards based on the player's cumulative total of completed dailies. The first time the player completes the Daily Run, they receive the Swift Sword blueprint, on their fifth completion they receive the Lacerating Aura blueprint, and on their tenth completion they receive the Meat Skewer blueprint; once picked up, these blueprints are automatically turned in to the Collector. Only one completion per day counts toward unlocking the five-completion and ten-completion rewards. Furthermore, players are NOT required to complete the Daily Run on consecutive days to gain credit toward those rewards.

The Daily Run is refreshed each day at midnight, UTC+1.
