So how do people get daily climb scores of 1700+

[BrotherGRim]

I'd love to see some screen captures of their score breakdown....

the daily climb scores are accumulative. You can do multiple runs and the scores will add up with each run. so you probably saw someone who did more than one run.

that there is some bs

Oh wow. Was wondering this after I got ~600. That's a strange score tiering system.

100% Wrong. The whole point of the Daily run is how well you can do it once. A second or third tun does not even get scored let alone add to your original score.

To answer your question about the impossible high scores, they cheat. Simple as that

[Pawell]

You have two accounts: on one you repeat the daily challenges so many times until you find out which route and which cards / relicts to pick to maximize the score. Simple as that.

Some actions can be farmed like: do 100+ damage with singlew attack. This gives you few points. With right deck and patience you can stack up this little score bonus on every single mob in the game = many extra bonus points.

If you get all the bonuses, 1700 is possible. Here, I took damage from one boss, losing 100 points, and took 2 blurs, losing another 200 points (the "no more than 1 of each non-starter card bonus). Also my path hit many ? so lost some points on fights.

Also there are cheaters in the mix at the top of most any leaderboard on every game. Not always apparent which are good players and which cheated. It takes a large amount of effort to constantly ban or prevent the cheaters and most games just don't bother.

Thanks ysnyder...man thats impressive! im genrally happy with 1100+ :)
Guess part of the trick is actually knowing what heps your scoring (I assumed perfect was one but I would of never across the 'no more that 1 of...' one accidentally

Clear in sub-45 minutes, perfect all bosses and as many elites as possible (routing elites above all other factors), no rare cards or duplicate cards (very hard to win some runs with these conditions, though), or as an alternate to no duplicates, as many sets of 4 of the same card as possible without regard to whether these cards are even good. 50+ card deck if reasonably possible or 35 card deck if not. 100+ damage in one hit (you only need this once; you can't "farm" it in every combat like that one guy said) and 20+ cards in one turn if possible. Raise your max HP by 30 over the starting value for your character. Have 5 curses at the end of the run.

Scores that literally cheat use infinite gold to get tons of Collector bonus (4x of one card, stacks for the same card at 8x, etc.); this is only possible on runs that offer The Courier which is why you only see stupidly high scores on certain dailies.

The hard part about scoring high is getting those 200 points from Beyond Perfect as well as a bunch of Champion bonuses while still getting Curses! (5 curses), Pauper (no rare cards), and Highlander (no duplicates). Often the difficulty of getting Highlander and Pauper together with these other bonuses makes it not worth it to even try, and instead you go for Collector bonuses.

Some mods make high scores much easier, such as Hoarder, where getting Collector bonuses en masse is pretty trivial and Mind Blast becomes very powerful, making perfect fights fairly easy as well.

Getting all of these things without a mod/cheat is nearly impossible with most of the daily modifiers. I consider myself fairly decent at this game... and I'd be absurdly hard pressed to get Beyond Perfect while running a no-rare, 5 curse deck. It's probably easier to do an a20 heart run, since I can at least succeed at that with some consistency.

I mean, some dailies are actually hard, but many dailies are considerably easier than ascension 0 to the point where you can completely ignore anything about good deck construction and still get lots of perfects just by using potions and relics well. Anything where you get a relic after normal fights or Hoarder + early Mind Blast should be pretty much free perfects all the way.

I'm not saying that it's hard to complete the daily or even to get a beyond perfect. However, getting a score of 1700 legitimately would require you to do things that make beyond perfect nearly impossible. A good portion of the curses will damage you while having a deck of that size and filled with 5 curses will pretty much guarantee that you have turns in which you take damage.

I just ran today's (1/19/19) daily and it's fairly simple to get a beyond perfect (never even took damage the entire run, never mind just the bosses). In addition to that, I fought 6 elites and skipped all rare cards while also getting one stack of collector. However, that only netted me a score in the 1100s. If anyone gets a score above 1500 on this seed, I'm pretty sure they are modding/cheating. You can probably get 75 more points for Highlander, 50 for Light Speed, and maybe another 100-150 points off a few random things. I don't see anyone legitimately breaking 1500 points on this (or most) daily seed(s).

And 90% of the time you`re right.

A long time ago "fairness" was enforced to the point of checking for suspicious background processes... people got pissed and they took it down few notches, to the point that now you can save and quit even in the dailies (which in turn went from "omg i`m ded flor 5!!1!" to "gg ez").

High scores now are pretty wonky and that`s why streamers usually just care about winrates

[UNLIMITED POWA]

Things like overkill should give you more points the higher above the enemies health you can get instead of just a fixed amount. Most scoring would be better like that. I haven't played in a while but i remember last time just after endless was added i wasn't happy about it just being like a practice mode in option when i was expecting a proper main mode with leader board for win count.

[Jeff]

The randomness of shuffling a deck combined with hundreds of great players means a few dozen should get lucky enough to have near perfect scores every day. Assuming some of those few dozen made the right choices to get maximum score, this should lead to some high scores that seem impossible but were only incredibly lucky.

Of course many of the high scores are cheating but I'm just saying some actually earned them.
