Buffbath, also known as Blood bathtub hard v, is an infamous superbuff of the iconic level Bloodbath. Riot created this version with the intention of someday updating the original to this version. Obviously this was way too hard when conceived in 2017, and still potentially top 1 as late as early 2022. The level was just largely perceived a joke, but a remake was created in late 2021 that died out (thankfully, youtube.com/watch?v=kwGjzsRB1zY), and then the other remake by Relayne... Riot's Demise. I rememeber that level specifically for it being the laughing stock of upcoming levels. Eandis had achieved huge WRs like 52% and 51-100% on the level, which was pretty insane. The first notable WRs on this version I found were by PersonHuman42, 39% and 80-100% in early 2022. The next WRs were by the eventual verifier, AGSEcho, a rising 120hz player who'd just beaten SWI. He'd start hard grinding this in late 2023, claiming the WR with 74% and 24-98%. After a small break, he'd come back 2 months later with 97% and then after another 3 month period, he'd finally verify it in August of 2024 after months of playing this level, but a surprisingly low attempt count of ~20k. This is largely due to the fact that most deaths to this level are to the cube parts in Michi's part, as well as Crack's part which makes each attempt last forever. The cube timings are absolutely ridiculous here. I know Agse said the two 1fs marked here are 2fs, but I tested a lot, and the last jump was always a 1f, and one of either jump at 32-33% were 1f or 2f, it alternates. This level is really just monstrous, but Agse proved that this level really is possible. Obviously this won't update the actual Bloodbath, it'd be one of the most controversial things ever. Still really cool to see it have been verified by Agse. The placement given was 6-10, which was Kyouki to KOCMOC in difficulty, so this could potentially still be top 25 or so to this day, but I kinda doubt that.

![[Upcoming Top 10 CL] - Malign with Frame Windows Counter
Malign is an upcoming top 10 challenge, created solo by zXdasfsa, who is also the verifier for it. Its a remake of the level Sadism by Irisu, a former top 25 challenge when it was verified in late 2022. zX showed the level a few weeks ago and posted some runs, after which it was buffed quite a bit to where its now estimated to be top 10. zXs best runs are 39%, 27-61%, and 52-85% (dead at the last orb click which was a 7f timing 🥀). The ending is noticeably harder than the rest of the level, which is just made of 2f timings, even a 1f there (likely alignment based but still). Goodluck to zX on this verification, which likely will be one of his last in the game.

![[Impossible] - Brain Atrophy with Frame Windows Counter
Brain Atrophy is an old nine circles impossible level by the creator RezerdPrime. It was a remake and hyperbuff of an older level the creator made, called Dead Circles. It was added very high up on the ILL back in early 2021, and really there hasnt been much else happening since. Theres been a couple WRs going from 12% in 2022, to 19% in 2023, to 22% in 2024, and 28% just 2 months ago by Tost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7820X4lx4Q
Though people can definitely get to the drop, and into some of the wave parts, I doubt anyone ever will, as the drop has some very awkward and tight small-click corridors, which are genuinely pretty absurd. This level is unfortunately not super interesting deco wise, but the pre and postdrop are kinda cool. The level is also very short, but thats probably because of the incompleted song by NK.

![[Top 10?] - ANTARCTIC LIGHTS with Frame Windows Counter
Ah Antarctic Lights my beloved, the hardest upcoming nine circles level by the goat, declan. Original layout was made in 2020 by Skyjax, with declan decorating the level by himself, full showcase at the end of 2023. Our favorite Dane was the chosen verifier, Axinity. An Acheron victor, and verifier of Arctic Twice (AL 2x in a row), there werent many better candidates. Hed buff the level quite a lot and begun grinding it on and off throughout the past 2.5 years, racking up a total of 400k+ attempts on the level. His first progress was 49-100% in early 2024, with subsequent bests of 39-100%, 51, 63, 70, 25-100%, 73, 78, 90, and just hours before I made this video, 92%, dying to the 3f ship gap.
Axinity appears to have some wild verifier bias, saying its around Acheron difficulty, meanwhile playtesters say it is easily top 10 difficulty even with Society and Green Bullet rated. The frame window data is surprisingly nearly identical to Ultra Paracosm, which according to youngs6 as of today is likely harder than Every End. However as you hopefully know, frame window data isnt all that defines a levels difficulty.
Antarctic has some things that give it the upper hand, which include: much higher average CPS, awkward click patterns, more spread out difficulty (including a predrop with half the levels 3f timings), as well as being longer. That alone points to the level like a spot below Nullscapes, supported by nickname09s opinion which shares the same sentiment. So yeah, this thing is most definitely our next top 10, Axinitys consistent asf and I do expect this to be out by the next weekend. Definitely one of my favorite upcoming levels, decoration that fits an Arctic Lights remake just perfectly. Ive been hyped for a long time and its cool to get my hands on a copy, thanks declan for the opportunity, and goodluck to Axinity if youre seeing this!

![[Top 15?] - Dignity with Frame Windows Counter
Dignity is a solo upcoming top list demon by San Andreas, inspired partially by Knights of Thnnder. The creator scrapped a lot of parts and this took two years to finish, but it was finally done in August 2025. The level didnt have a verifier until January 2026, when Sevant picked it up stating it was meant to be around Tartarus difficulty. Well, that certainly didnt hold true as the level was buffed pretty immensely and is now around top 10-20 difficulty. Its quite deceiving in difficulty and actually mimicks actual Knights of Thunder, which doesnt have difficult individual clicks, but is high cps, flowy and difficult to sightread.
This level is basically that but on steroids, with decently difficult clicks all the way throughout coupled with the aforementioned high cps. Theres still a couple 3f clicks and other awkward sections, with the last click sometimes being 2f according to Sevant, so yeah thats brutal. Sevant started playing this soon after picking it up, and has been verifying since, now holding best runs of 64% and 43-100%, and even more impressive, 15-95%, done after this video. Overall its not my favorite upcoming level, but it definitely a cool achievement from Sevant, go check him out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAxS2PWA2tA
