Direct answer: Netmarble says an issue in the ongoing Timespace Junction Leaderboard Regular Season 5 could let certain heroes be used in an unintended way. Because fair rankings cannot be guaranteed, Season 5 final-ranking rewards will not be distributed. Every Star Guardian who participated will instead receive Laurel of Glory x20 after the season ends.
What changes for Leaderboard Regular Season 5?
The official notice does not publish a particular hero, exploit explanation, or player result. It confirms only that certain hero usage can affect Timespace Junction play in an unintended manner and that the problem may affect leaderboard records.
As a result, ranking-based rewards for this season are cancelled. Participation still matters for the separate apology compensation listed below, and the official notice says the compensation can be claimed from the in-game mailbox after the October 8 maintenance.
What compensation is confirmed?
- General participation reward: Star Fragment x1,000.
- Sector 3 participation reward: Laurel of Glory x20 for players who participated in Timespace Junction Sector 3 during the current season.
- Sector 4 participation reward: Laurel of Glory x20 for players who participated in Timespace Junction Sector 4 during the current season.
- These rewards can be claimed from the in-game mailbox after the October 8 maintenance until October 28, 2026 at 14:59 UTC.
How will Leaderboard Regular Season 6 rewards work?
Starting with Regular Season 6, all participating Star Guardians will receive the same rewards. Netmarble says there will be no Titles or differentiated rewards based on ranking. The leaderboard schedule stays the same, and players can still view their records and rankings for the challenge.
This is an official reward-policy change, not a removal of Timespace Junction. The notice does not say that time attacks, records, or rankings will disappear; it says future reward distribution will no longer use ranking differences.
What should players avoid assuming?
Do not name a specific hero or method as the cause unless Netmarble publishes that detail. Do not treat community leaderboard times as proof of wrongdoing, and do not assume the Season 5 mailbox rewards arrive before the October 8 maintenance. The official notice is the source for the confirmed dates, eligibility, and quantities.
