Eclipse

 is an alternate game mode that adds stacking challenge modifiers to successive runs. Each Survivor starts at Eclipse level 1, where Eclipse mode will have the first of the modifiers shown below. After successfully completing a run, that Survivor's Eclipse level will increment (up to a maximum of 8), and the next modifier will be added to future runs. Eclipse has the same difficulty settings as Monsoon, and Challenges that require Monsoon can be completed on Eclipse.
