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

=== Ascension Talent Caps ===
The second main restriction of Mastery will have hard caps for the amount of talent points used in each skill stat. The cap can be considered invisible to players as no visible changes could be seen in the Ascension tab.
