Daily Challenges
With Patch 1.4 we introduced Daily Challenges. Each day you will be tasked with different challenge in the Skirmish Mode. You can select the Daily Challenge by selecting “Enemy Wave Generation” -> “Daily Challenge” in the Mission Setup. There is no limit of how many times you want to take on the challenge, but the reward will be less the more you play the Daily Challenges. Good luck!
