no edit summary

Mastery is a game mode ~~similar~~ designed to ~~Expeditions, except each map~~ challenge players by imposing certain restrictions. Each [[Maps|Map]] has a specific set of 5 challenges to complete ~~while~~ . Mastery mode also restricts your gear, stats, and Ascension according to the Chaos tier you are playing. Any [[Mods]] you have on your gear ~~is capped~~will be set to the Chaos tier of the [[Maps|Map]] you are playing, ~~creating~~ even if those [[Mods]] were originally a ~~much more difficult challenge than Expeditions~~lower tier.~~ ~~
