Vortex Gaming

· The current Crimson Orb Competitive Match is in its preliminary round, and this challenge features the Lightning attribute.
· Due to the mission's focus on defeating minor mobs and elites, the Rhythm character is highly efficient.
· The Competitive Match buffs are largely the same as last season, with only the attribute changed, and the preliminary SSS threshold has increased from 5% to 15%.
· The shop's composition is virtually identical, and once the main event opens, it's recommended to prioritize acquiring the following items:

Category	Details
Must-Get	Amplification Inducer Mold Footprints Oyo
Optional Get	Yiho (Only buy enough to collect EXP)
Recommended Farming	Crimson Orb (Manual farming is tedious, so it's recommended to stock up in advance)

· The party composition used in this Competitive Match is Rhythm, Jiyu, and Buso.

Character	Detailed Setup
Rhythm (Shop Character)	· Origin: Full Origin · Skills: Master all except passive · Setup: Winged Rubber Exaltation (WRE) main, Soonmanos 2 Resolve 2 Exaltation (Soonmanos might be more efficient with 3 Exaltation)
Jiyu (Beloved Character)	· Origin: 5 Origin · Skills: Master all (for 5 Origin or higher, passive up to 8 is fine) · Setup: Uses Winged Rubber Resolve (WRR) with 3 Resolve 1 Exaltation · Weapon: Just needs to achieve 100% activation rate
Buso (Swimsuit Spoon)	· Origin: Full Origin (4-5 Origin is also sufficient) · Skills: Master all except E skill · Setup: For 5 Origin, use only one Resolve. If Origin is insufficient, it's better to forgo meaningless advantages in sustain or competition and focus on power
Malyung	· Composition: Battle Pass Malyung's Ferocity, Sensitivity (Sensitivity is optional) · Alternative: If you don't have Battle Pass Malyung, it's recommended to use Eonca with Ferocity attached

· Before starting combat, don't rush in immediately. Activate attack buffs in advance and sufficiently pre-heat Soonmanos before engaging.
· During combat, hold down right-click and spam the E skill, focusing attacks on elite monsters when they appear.
· The most crucial factor for shortening your record is the luck of Jiyu's floor skill. You need to pray that Jiyu's floor skills stack well to quickly burst down elites.
· With good luck, even if Jiyu doesn't have Full Origin, a record in the 35-second range can be achieved.
· If aiming for SSS, you'll need to retry like crazy because Jiyu's floor skill luck needs to align perfectly.
· Typically, records in the 33-second range are common, and with good luck, it can be shortened by another 1-2 seconds.
· It's important to consistently attempt retries during the preliminary period.
· Whether you main Jiyu or use Destiny, the luck of Jiyu's floor skill is ultimately key.
· For players lacking Destiny Origin, the Rhythm main composition, which has a reliable floor, is highly recommended.
· A Destiny main can also achieve good records with retries if Jiyu's floor skill luck aligns well, but if you lack Destiny letter farming, it might be harder than with Rhythm.

· A Jiyu main composition might yield good results if you focus more on area-of-effect skills and attempt many retries, but further research is needed.
· Even better builds can always emerge, so it's best to use the current setup as a reference.
· Around 390,000 points is a safe zone, so being satisfied with this score is also a good strategy.
