Some Advice
The competition lasts for four weeks. It is recommended to take your time for your first playthrough, focusing on learning the game's classes, items and dungeon layouts. Practicing sections before diving into full runs. The fiercest competition for the top three spots typically emerges in the final week or even the last few days of the challenge so be sure to practice as much as you can before this critical period.
Good luck, and have fun Heroes!️
