It is time for the Dungeon Race, where we scour the records of the 'B&S Revolution' Ranking Dungeons. Has the aftermath of server mergers left everyone a bit exhausted? It seems the time trial competition is taking a breather this week. The top three elite teams have hit a wall, leaving their records static, while the shifting faces are mostly confined to the mid-table. Given how aggressively they have been pushing the ceiling, breaking into the 12-second bracket will likely take a bit of time. Let’s dive into the stats as the newly integrated server 'Geumsangcheomhwa' joins the fray.

Can we breach the 12-second barrier?

※ Ranking Dungeon integrated rankings are based on server data as of January 19, 9:00 AM.
※ Figures are based on the 'Monthly Ranking' tab for the Ranking Dungeon, aggregating records under 1 minute and 30 seconds.
※ Current data may vary slightly from individual server information.

The 'Bbakgu-ya-nolja/LupinOl' team, who snatched the first spot in the first Dungeon Race of the New Year, held their ground. Similarly, the Qi Master duo in second and third haven't improved their existing times. With no signs of job switching, they are likely sticking to their current builds and rotations. Or perhaps, after such a relentless pursuit of the peak, a cheeky bit of rest is in order.

Following last week's maintenance, the servers 'Geumsangcheomhwa' and 'Cheonha-jeil' opened their doors. The former is led by the Qi Master duo 'Yoma-sangsa/Rang-dun-sangsa', who boasted the best teamwork on their server with a solid 17.076 seconds.

As for 'Cheonha-jeil', they haven't quite joined the competitive race yet. With their current top record hovering around the 1 minute 36-second mark, they need to shave off at least 6 seconds to be relevant. It is unlikely we will see them in the Top 20 chart just yet, though a few names might pop up in the general count soon.

The 'Gunner' sets sights on the top spot

This edition of the Dungeon Race tracks 480 participants, an increase of 133 players compared to last week. Looking at the Job Distribution Top 10, it is clear that niche classes are gaining ground over the usual suspects. Notably, the combined share of classes outside the Top 10 has grown by 1.3 percentage points, which tells a very interesting story.

Consequently, the Blade Master is seeing a downward trend. Despite retaining the top spot, its share dropped by a hefty 2.6 percentage points. Meanwhile, the Gunner rebounded by 2.1 percentage points, eyeing a potential takeover. While the Qi Master—the class with the most high-end rankers—also shed 2 percentage points, their momentum remains untouched, as proven by their dominance in the elite charts.

The 'Vajra Master/Ghost Blade' have checked in!

With two weeks left until the January wrap-up, every class finally has a representative on the board. The final arrivals are the Vajra Master and the Ghost Blade. The former sees 'Godzilla-sangsa' from Geumsangcheomhwa taking the lead, while 'Ggaekkul' from the same server leads the latter. Ggaekkul is still clocking in over a minute, so there is plenty of room for stabilisation. We shall see how much they can shave off before the month is out.

Additionally, the lone Warrior ranker, 'Hood', managed to improve his time by about 11 seconds since last week. These newcomers clinging to the edge of the charts really need to keep grinding to stay safe. A similar situation applies to the Miho Blade; the third-place contender 'Ggamnyang' barely squeezed in with 1 minute 29.573 seconds. All three top rankers for that class are currently exceeding the one-minute mark, so they definitely need to pull their socks up.
