Welcome back to another Dungeon Race, where we dissect the latest rankings for 'Blade & Soul Revolution'. November has kicked off with a rather raucous start. With teams eager to smash last month’s high scores, we are seeing a flurry of new records across the board. The 18-second mark was previously thought to be the final frontier, but it was shattered the moment the November dungeon gates swung open. Things are heating up, so let’s dive into the integrated rankings and see who is leading the pack.

Record Broken! 'Nevada·Kimchi Stew' Hits 15.750 Seconds

※ Integrated rankings are based on server data as of November 10, 11:00 AM.
※ Rankings reflect the 'Monthly Ranking' tab for times under 1 minute and 30 seconds.
※ Data may vary slightly from current real-time server information.

The start of the November race is nothing short of mental. The 'Nevada·Kimchi Stew' Soul Fighter team from the Do-won-gyeol-ui server, who finished second last month, has clocked in at a blistering 15.750 seconds. That is a massive 2.405-second improvement over the previous record of 18.155 seconds. A proper statement of intent right out of the gate.

Following them is the October champion, the 'GaOl·YomanghanStrawberry' team, trailing at 17.181 seconds. While still a stellar time that beats the old record, they seem to have hit a wall against the Soul Fighter duo. Interestingly, while they previously took the top spot with a Gunslinger, they seem to have pivoted to a Soul Fighter/Gunslinger hybrid this month. Expect more cheeky class-swapping as the competition intensifies.

The elite players currently lingering in the high 19 to low 20-second range are overwhelmingly leaning towards the Soul Fighter. We will take a deeper look at the class distribution later, but it is clear that those chasing the top scores are betting heavily on this class. Watching whether this shift in preference holds is going to be the real drama of the month.

'Soul Fighter' Surge: A 3.7%P Jump Ignites the Race for Second

The Soul Fighter’s dominance in the rankings is reflected in their rising popularity. With a 3.7% point jump in just one week, they are eyeing the second-place spot, currently trailing the Warlock by a mere 1.3% points. With the Archer falling significantly behind, there is practically no other class left to challenge them.

While the dungeon metrics suggest the Soul Fighter could easily dethrone the Warlock, the Warlock’s prowess in PvP makes that a tougher nut to crack. The Warlock’s popularity isn't strictly tied to PvE performance; it is their battlefield utility that keeps them relevant. They are perfectly capable in dungeons, but their dominance in combat keeps them in high demand. With a new class arriving in November, that will be the real turning point for the rankings.

'Warrior, Warden, and Musician' on the Verge of Falling Off

We counted 303 ranked players in this first post-settlement report. That is 180 fewer than the final tally for October. Keep in mind that more players are expected to join the fray, so let’s look at the TOP 3 by class with that in mind.

The first class that catches my eye is the Kung Fu Master. It is a bit of a shame, as no player from this class has cracked the list in five weeks. With 20 days left in the month, there is still time, but given that no one managed a spot all through October, they are on thin ice. I hope the Kung Fu Master mains can find their rhythm and post a time under 1 minute and 30 seconds soon.

Furthermore, the Warrior, Warden, and Musician are standing on shaky ground. With only one representative each, their presence on the chart is hanging by a thread. As with the other classes, the mid-November update will likely shake things up, making these spots even more precarious. Even the Sowonabi, currently sitting with two players, is in a position where they could drop off the chart at any moment.
