The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin 2.1 Time Attack Event Guide

To secure the highest reward tiers in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Version 2.1 Time Attack event, build an offensive team around rapid burst damage, group enemy waves immediately, and cycle character skills without downtime. Because scoring is tied directly to your clear speed, prioritize area-of-effect (AoE) burst over defensive endurance.

Time Attack Role Priorities

Timed stages penalize slow ramp-up spells and defensive stalling. Structure your team using character archetypes that deal heavy damage immediately upon entering the field.

Role Tier	Focus & Archetype	Function in Time Attack	Priority Reason
S-Tier	Primary Burst DPS	High-scaling AoE and instant finishers	Clears clustered enemy packs instantly with minimal animation windup.
A-Tier	Sub-DPS & Buffers	Offensive enablers and ground hazards	Applies debuffs, attack boosts, or damage zones before swapping out.
B-Tier	Sustained DPS	Single-target fighters	Effective against final elite targets, but slow when clearing spread waves.
Situational	Pure Defense	Shielders and dedicated healers	Avoid unless survivability fails, as defensive utility contributes no clear speed.

Quick-Swap Burst Rotation

Idle time between skill cooldowns costs valuable seconds. Use this active rotation to maximize damage uptime across every stage wave:

Deploy Opener Buffs: Start with your offensive support to trigger attack boosts, elemental resistance shred, or enemy grouping abilities as the wave spawns.
Drop Sub-DPS Hazards: Swap immediately to your secondary damage dealer to cast persistent ground hazards or burst cooldowns.
Trigger Primary DPS Skills: Switch to your main burst carry to execute primary skills and ultimate finishers while active buffs remain potent.
Collect Energy and Transition: Gather energy orbs and use brief basic attack chains between wave spawns to ready your cooldowns for the next group.

Wave Management and Positioning

Scattered enemies waste time by forcing you to chase down isolated targets. Control enemy positioning to maximize AoE coverage:

Pull Toward Perimeters: Move toward the stage edge or cast gathering skills at the start of a wave so ranged enemies do not scatter across the arena.
Focus Elites with Piercing AoE: When a wave spawns elite monsters alongside standard mobs, target the elite directly while angling directional AoE skills through the group to eliminate minions passively.
Conserve Ultimates for Fresh Spawns: Avoid triggering high-damage ultimate abilities on low-health stragglers. Save high-cost finishers for full-health waves or the final stage boss.

Execution Pitfalls That Waste Time

Overusing Defensive Units: Tanks and pure healers lower your total damage per second. Replace defensive units with offensive buffers or secondary burst characters to lower clear times.
Animation Canceling Too Early: Swapping characters before an attack registers can consume the skill cooldown without dealing damage. Wait until the damage instance connects before executing a swap cancel.
Ignoring Stage Modifiers: Review each stage's active elemental weaknesses and clear traits prior to starting, and prioritize equipment stats like Attack and Critical Rate over defensive survivability.
