'Blade & Soul Revolution' is back with another edition of Dungeon Race, where we dissect the leaderboard standings. With the server transfer period colliding with a long Chuseok holiday, the timing couldn't have been more chaotic. As the monthly reset loomed, top-tier players pushed themselves to the absolute limit, resulting in a flurry of record-breaking attempts where rankings were decided by mere fractions of a second. KookminTree has prepared this special chart, capturing the final efforts just before the reset to bring you the definitive look at this season's champions.

The 'YomanghanStrawberry & GaOl' team shatters the 20-second barrier.

※ The integrated ranking for the dungeon is based on data as of October 5th, 10:00 PM, across all servers.
※ Records are based on the 'Monthly Ranking' tab, specifically those within the 1 minute 30 second threshold.
※ Please note that these figures may differ slightly from current in-game server data.

A week post-server transfer, our ranked contenders have been scrambling to find their footing in new environments. We have seen them busy forging new partnerships and experimenting with class changes in a desperate hunt for those elusive high scores. The real battlefield was the psychological 20-second mark. The 'Hindoong & LupinOl' team from the Yuadokjon server was the first to breach this, clocking in at 20.062 seconds using the Soul Fighter class. For a moment, it seemed that the barrier might hold firm for the rest of the season.

Then came the breakthrough from the Daegimanseong server's 'YomanghanStrawberry & GaOl' team. They obliterated the 20-second wall with a staggering 19.535-second run. YomanghanStrawberry, who topped the charts last week, swapped their usual Warlock partner for a Gunslinger after the transfer. The result? A lead of 0.527 seconds over the second-place team, securing them the top spot for the season. Meanwhile, the ranks from 3rd to 15th remained tightly packed within the 20-second range, and the 'AceDJegalyoma' team from the Jeolsemiin server managed to scrape into the top 20 with a 32.439-second run.

The 'Soul Fighter & Gunslinger' duo clinches a joint 2nd place.

With Warlocks and Soul Fighters showing signs of fatigue, the Gunslinger class has made a vicious comeback. Jumping 5.5% points from their previous 8.3% (5th place) standing, they have pulled even with the Soul Fighter class. This final sprint secured them a joint 2nd place finish. Consequently, the Cannon Master was pushed down to 4th, while the Archer settled for 5th with an 8.4% share.

On a side note, the Blade Master has finally made an appearance in the rankings, displacing the Force Master. It is quite fascinating to watch these legacy classes fight for their share of the spotlight. With the Blade Master joining the fray, the top 10 class distribution feels a bit more balanced between melee and ranged options, though the latter still holds a slight statistical edge.

Following the Soul Fighter and Gunslinger, the 'Bard' enters the fray.

Given that these records were taken just before the deadline, the 'TOP 3 by Class' chart is looking impressively full. The Demon Blade fell just one person short of a sub-1:30 record, while the Vajra and Bard only had one entry each. A standout performance here is 'NokchaBuka' from the DowonGyeolui server, who clocked in at 22.565 seconds with a Bard—a class rarely seen in competitive dungeon runs. It appears they are actively researching the class's ceiling.

NokchaBuka was joined by the Dual Blade 'NokchaBonka'. Whether this synergy is truly optimal remains to be seen, but we will keep a close eye on their progress in the coming week to see if this Bard's influence is the real deal.

The Kung Fu Master’s last-minute entry is equally amusing. 'BellaSwan' from the Gungyeilhak server hit exactly 1:30.000, pulling off a buzzer-beater right before the cutoff. Without that effort, the 3rd place spot for the Kung Fu Master would have remained as empty as the Demon Blade’s.
