Progression and permadeath differences
The official 1.0 notes are explicit: Solo Mode does not use traditional progression, and it has zero permadeath risk. Treat it as a training sandbox rather than a substitute for the full progression loop.

Current Solo limits and future direction
The launch notes define Solo as practice without normal progression or permadeath. In the Beyond Armageddon developer blog, Torn Banner says it is investigating ways to do more with Solo, but that is a direction under investigation—not a released progression promise.
