Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Timebomb[edit | edit source]
This build is notable for having a timebomb that is 2 hours and 5 minutes long, making it the build with the shortest timebomb. However, this build can still be used after the stated 2 hours and 5 minutes, as long as the user is logged in. The timebomb, if expired, will trigger at the next login.
