It is time for the Dungeon Race, where we dissect the latest rankings for 'Blade & Soul Revolution'. With server transfers and merges now in the rearview mirror, we have enjoyed a week of relative calm without any major updates. The dungeon rankers seem to have found their groove, using this downtime to shave seconds off their personal bests. As a result, the ceiling for high scores has risen, and even the entry requirements for the mid-tier rankings have tightened slightly. The teams that nailed their runs are pulling away, widening the gap between the elite and the rest of the pack.

The 'Soul Fighter Duo' pushing for new records

※ Ranking Dungeon integrated leaderboards are based on server data as of March 16, 9:00 AM.
※ Figures are based on the 'Monthly Ranking' tab in the Ranking Dungeon, tracking records under 1 minute and 30 seconds.
※ Data may slightly differ from current in-game server information.

The 'Soul Fighter' duo, who dominated since the start of the March season, are holding onto their throne with a firm grip. The team of 'Nevada·BaddaCocoNuts' clocked in at 11.602 seconds—a cheeky 0.257-second improvement over last week. For those keeping score, the all-time record remains the 11.593 seconds set by 'BbaguYaNolja·LupinOl' back in February. They are now a mere 0.009 seconds away from shattering that ceiling.

The surge in speed at the top is naturally widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. The disparity is particularly glaring at the summit; you simply will not find anyone in the 12 or 14-second range on the integrated leaderboard. The gap between first and second place is a massive 1.519 seconds, while fourth and fifth are separated by 1.75 seconds. It seems hitting those specific brackets has become a formidable barrier.

The threshold for cracking the top 20 has become quite a bit steeper, requiring about 0.4 seconds less than it did last week. The 'Hwanyeong·RyuPang' team from the Gyeonggukjisaek server managed to scrape in at the tail end. While a sub-17-second clear is no walk in the park, it is certainly an achievable goal if you have a partner who is perfectly in sync with your rhythm.

'Soul Fighter' accounts for 10.9% of the top 4 record-holders

This week's Dungeon Race chart saw an influx of 132 additional players meeting the criteria compared to last week. It is clear that once the chaos of server transfers subsided, players finally found the time to settle in. If this upward trend continues, we can easily expect over 600 participants in the March tally. The only wildcard left in the deck is the upcoming March update.

The class distribution chart for the Ranking Dungeon has remained stubbornly stagnant for quite some time. The 'Lyn Blade Dancer', 'Gunner', and 'Soul Fighter' have carved out their slices of the pie, and the classes following them have shown little movement beyond minor percentage fluctuations. Only the 13.6% of 'other' classes outside the main rankings are jostling for position. We likely won't see a significant shift until the scheduled class balance update drops later this month.

The lights go out for 'Dual Blade·Miho Blade'

The Dual Blade, which looked precarious last week, has finally faded from the chart. Consequently, with no rankers appearing as 'Miho Blade', both classes have effectively fallen off the map. The silver lining, as mentioned, is the growing pool of participants. There are still plenty of Dual Blade and Miho Blade players out there; they just need to log a sub-1:30 record to reignite their presence on the board.

While the situation varies by server, the class-specific rewards in Blade & Soul Revolution's Ranking Dungeon might entice some clever players to exploit a niche. If you read the chart right, you could potentially snag a first-place reward just by staying under that 1 minute and 30-second mark. Given that all other classes have masters clearing in under a minute, this might actually be your best shot at top-tier rewards.
