Swiftly Defeat Doryani in Act 3
The main goal of the Race Event is that you will need to defeat Doryani in Act 3 in record time. The race will have you start over from Act 1 up to Act 3 in Standard Mode. While it is not in Hardcore Mode, you will incur a one-minute penalty upon death, barring you from movement.
The race will have a Self-Found fixed layout to guarantee fairness for all the participating players, allowing the possibility of forming strategies unique only to the race!
