Turn Time Limit

The Turn Time Limit is the rule that sets how long you can spend on a single turn. It varies by match mode.

Standard time limit

TurnTime Limit
Turn 1120 sec.
Turn 2 onward30 sec. (normal time) + 70 sec. (reserve time)
  • When the timer hits 0 seconds, the game immediately moves to the Cleanup Phase, forcibly ends your turn, and gives you 1 Idle warning. If you were in the middle of making a choice, an option is picked at random.
  • About the time limit from turn 2 onward:
    • The '30 sec.' is given fresh every turn. Even if you use it all, it refills on your next turn.
    • The '70 sec.' is reserve time that lasts for the whole match. Once it runs out, you only have the normal time (30 sec.) from your next turn onward.

Idle warnings

  • If you get 2 Idle warnings, the match ends in a Forfeit.
    • Too many Forfeits in Competitive matches (Ranked Match, Event Match) can lead to a "Competitive Restriction" penalty, so please be careful.
  • Running out the Turn 1 time limit counts as 2 warnings, and the match immediately ends in a Forfeit.
  • Ending your turn normally within the time limit resets your Idle warnings to 0.
