Overview

The Timespace Junction mode

Essential

Timespace Junction is a solo mode introduced in Season 1. You play alone with a team of 4 characters and fight Marmas in a timed battle. The goal: defeat Marmas by exploiting burst windows — DPS phases that open after stunning him with the lift skill.

This content is intended for players who have cleared the Abyss and have their characters fully maxed out. Do not attempt this mode too early.

Marmas is weak to fire damage. Prioritize characters with Fire element attacks to maximize damage output.

Team Compositions

Meliodas

Essential

Combat Mechanics

Burst Cycle — Overview

Essential

Every Marmas attempt runs on the same loop. Memorize these 5 phases — they are the backbone of the entire fight.

PositioningPermanent
From the start, at all times — Stay behind Marmas constantly. An indicator appears if you're in front — reposition immediately.
Burst activatedWait
Guila triggers the burst — The burst fills through Guila's attacks. Wait for activation — don't waste skills early.
Fire Burst activeDPS Window
Burst Gauge is full — DPS window is wide open. Chain your best offensive skills immediately without hesitation.
Q → spam EMax DPS
Burst window open — Use Q first then spam E looking for critical hits. Maximize damage for the full duration of the window.
Blue Light⚠ Critical stun
End of sequence — blue light signal — Switch immediately and use the switch skill to stun Marmas and cancel the teleportation.
✦ If you miss this window, Marmas loops the sequence with no stun opportunity.

Positioning — Why always attack from behind?

Essential

Hitting Marmas from the front slows your character. As soon as you see his charge animation (an indicator above his head), move to his back — that's what triggers the slow effect if you stay in front.

Front, close range → Marmas dodge-jumps away

Staying too close in front causes Marmas to repeatedly jump away — he constantly evades and you lose all contact.

Mechanic Orbs — Front, at range

Marmas shakes his maracas and fires red orbs toward your character. Stay behind him to avoid getting hit — see Mechanic Orbs for the full debuff details.

Behind → Safe DPS zone

From his back, the slow effect does not trigger. Keep DPS going uninterruptedas long as you are behind him — even if Marmas does his other animations, it doesn't matter. This is also the required position for Guila to trigger the burst.

Mechanic Orbs — Stay behind Marmas. Each orb hit applies a permanent stackable movement speed debuff.

As soon as you see the small indicator above Marmas's head, immediately move around to his back. That's the signal of his slow animation — never stay in front at that moment.

Key takeaway

Always stay behind Marmas — it's the safe DPS zone and the only position where Guila can activate the burst.

The Burst mechanic

Essential

The Blazing Burst is the central mechanic of the fight. Guila must position herself behind Marmas to apply the deluge effectively. Each cycle opens an optimal DPS window.

Applying the Blazing Burst (Guila)

Position Guila behind Marmas. She applies the Blazing Burst — Burn up to 5 stacks and DEF reduction. Tristanaccelerates the deluge and reduces Marmas's fire resistance.

Fire Burst active → DPS Window

Once the deluge is in place, the attack window opens. This is the moment to use everything: skills, Meliodas Q first then spam E.

Marmas teleportations — The 3rd is critical

Marmas performs 3 teleportations in sequence (shakes his maracas alternately on each side). It is at the 3rd attempt that the switch skill cancels the attack and stuns him. If you miss the stun, he loops the sequence until you succeed — or until he kills you.

Teleportation phase — The red AoE marks the impact zone. Switch at the 2nd teleport to stun on the 3rd.

Opening phase — 15 seconds of immobility

At the start of the fight, Marmas stays immobile for ~15 seconds. Charge your gauges and set up the first burst under ideal conditions.

Key takeaway

Guila behind Marmas = burst = DPS window. Every missed cycle is damage lost permanently — this is the central mechanic of the fight.

Mechanic Orbs

Essential

Marmas shakes his maracas and fires red orbs. Each hit applies a permanent -10% movement speed debuff that stacks. Letting it stack makes dodging subsequent attacks increasingly difficult and can compromise the entire fight.

Mechanic Orbs — Dodge these orbs at all costs to avoid stacking the movement speed penalty.

Never let this debuff stack — 3 or 4 stacks makes it very hard to dodge follow-up attacks and reposition correctly.

Visual Signals

Reading Marmas's indicators

Essential

Marmas emits clear visual signals before each major action. Identifying them correctly is the core skill of this fight.

Red Flash

Incoming attack to dodge

→ Dodge!

Blue Light

Stun window — very short

→ Switch → use switch skill

Repositioning

Marmas moves to the center

→ Reposition Guila

The blue light lasts only a very short window. Missing it forces a teleport without a stun and disrupts the burst cycle, costing a full DPS window.

Stunning Marmas — The switch skill

Advanced

The switch skill is the special ability that automatically triggers when you swap to a characterduring combat. It's what allows you to stun Marmas at the blue light window.

Step 1 — Watch for the blue light

As soon as you see the blue flash appear on Marmas, the window is very short. It's the signal that Marmas is about to teleport — this is your stun window.

Step 2 — Switch at the 2nd teleport

Swap to your stun character (Slader or any character whose switch skill inflicts a stun). Ideal timing: switch as soon as the 2nd AoE fires and Marmas disappears to set up the 3rd — he lands directly into your switch skill.

Step 3 — The switch skill fires

The switch skill activates as soon as the character enters combat. If it hits Marmas during the blue window, he is stunned — his teleport is cancelled.

Result — Reposition Guila without losing a cycle

The stun immobilizes Marmas just long enough for Guila to reposition behind him before he moves. Without the stun, the teleport disrupts the cycle and you lose a full burst cycle.

The switch skill only stuns inside the blue window. Swapping outside this window produces no stun — you simply waste your switch with no benefit. Always wait for the blue light.

Key takeaway

Blue light → immediate switch → automatic stun. The window is very short — train yourself to react to the color, not the exact timing.

Combat Rotation

Optimal sequence — Meliodas P4

Advanced

Guila — Open with Guila positioned behind Marmas. Activate the burst as soon as possible. Take advantage of the 15 seconds of initial immobility.
Tristan — Activate to accelerate the Blazing Burst and reduce Marmas's fire resistance.
Manie — Apply the +30% crit buff and recover magic gauge before the DPS window.
Meliodas — Position behind Marmas. During the burst window: Q first then spam E looking for critical hits.
Stun & Restart — At the blue light, switch to your stun character: their switch skill automatically triggers and stuns Marmas. Reposition Guila behind him and restart the cycle.

Food buffs: Prioritize critical damage bonuses for Meliodas longsword builds.

F2P Options & Alternatives

Playing without Daisy

Essential

Meliodas vs Escanor — Which to choose?

Meliodas — Recommended

Higher raw DPS at equal level
Consistent throughout the entire fight
No special timing constraints
Works with the standard rotation

Escanor — Alternative

Effective fire DoT on Marmas
More complex to play efficiently

At equal potential level, Meliodas deals more raw damage than Escanor. Pattern knowledge more than compensates for the lack of Daisy.

Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

Essential tips

Getting started

Always attack from behind Marmas. Positioning behind the boss is fundamental for Guila to trigger the burst and to avoid his dodge patterns.

Never miss the blue light. It's your stun window — switch immediately to cancel the teleport. Without the stun, Marmas loops the sequence indefinitely.

Take advantage of the 15 seconds of initial immobility. At the start, Marmas doesn't move — charge your gauges and set up the first burst under perfect conditions.

Dodge on the red flash. React to the animation, not the impact — you will always have enough time.

Maximizing performance

Pattern knowledge > Roster. A player who knows the mechanics without Daisy will always outperform a player with a full roster but no pattern knowledge.

Q first then spam E for Meliodas during the window. During the burst, chain without hesitation to maximize damage.

Fight on the outer edge of the arena. Avoid the center — from the edge you clearly see Marmas returning to the center for repositioning, without being caught off guard by orbs in the middle of the action.

Anticipate Marmas's repositioning. Guila must be behind him before he reaches the center — never lose a cycle.

Common mistakes

Guila badly positioned

Attacking from the front or side prevents the burst from triggering. Guila must always be behind Marmas — non-negotiable.

Missing the stun opportunity

The blue light is a very short window. Missing it doesn't just cost a cycle — Marmas loops the teleport sequence until you land the stun, or until you die.

Getting hit by Mechanic Orbs

Each orb applies a permanent -10% movement speed debuff that stacks. At 3–4 stacks, dodging subsequent attacks becomes very hard and the fight can spiral out of control. Stay behind Marmas to avoid the orbs entirely.

Attempting this content too early

Without clearing the Abyss and with un-maxed stats, damage is insufficient to defeat Marmas within the time limit.

Ignoring the red flash

Not dodging the red flash unnecessarily exposes you to damage. Reacting to the animation rather than the impact always gives enough time.

How to Beat Marmas — Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Timespace Junction Season 1 Guide

Step-by-step guide to beating Marmas, the Season 1 boss of the Timespace Junction in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin. Covers the best team compositions, Burst mechanic, timing windows (5:45 / 5:05 / 4:25), visual signals, rotation order and F2P tips to clear in under 2 minutes.

Best Teams for Marmas

The core team for Marmas is Meliodas (DPS), Guila (Burst activator), Manie (crit buffer) with a flex slot for Tristan, Daisy or Slader.

Standard Team — Meliodas P4

Meliodas as main DPS with Guila for burst activation and Manie for the +30% critical rate buff. Tristan accelerates the burst and reduces fire damage taken. This is the most accessible team and clears reliably.

Optimal Team — With Daisy

Replace Tristan with Daisy to add critical resistance reduction, significantly increasing Meliodas damage output during the DPS window. Recommended once Daisy is available.

Alternative — Escanor

Escanor with axe works as a fire-element DPS alternative to Meliodas. Pair with Guila, Manie, and Daisy when available. Effective but requires strong gear.

With Slader

Slader provides gauge charge, a charged attack and stun capability. Useful if you need a more reliable stun on the blue light signal.

F2P Teams Without Daisy

F2P players can clear Marmas in under 2 minutes using Meliodas, Guila, Manie and Tristan. Focus on positioning behind Marmas and timing the burst cycle correctly.

Burst Mechanic — How It Works

The Burst is the central mechanic of the Marmas fight. Guila must be positioned behind Marmas to activate and break the burst, opening the main DPS window each cycle.

Activating the Burst

Position Guila directly behind Marmas. She activates the burst and provides a shield. Tristan accelerates the burst and reduces fire damage taken by the team.

Breaking the Burst — DPS Window

Breaking the burst opens the main attack window. Use all skills and Meliodas double Q then spam E during this phase to maximize damage output.

Marmas Teleportations

Marmas teleports 3 times during the fight. Before each teleport, a stun opportunity is available — use it to reset Guila behind him and relaunch the burst cycle.

Initial 15-Second Phase

At the start of combat Marmas remains stationary for approximately 15 seconds. Use this time to charge gauges and activate the first burst in optimal conditions.

Timing Windows — 5:45 / 5:05 / 4:25

The three critical timing windows for Marmas occur at 5:45, 5:05 and 4:25 on the combat timer. Missing a window wastes a full burst cycle.

Window at 5:45

First DPS window. Marmas is stationary. Activate burst with Guila positioned behind him. Maximise damage during the break phase.

Window at 5:05

Second cycle after the first teleport. Reposition Guila, stun with the blue light signal, then relaunch the burst immediately.

Window at 4:25

Third cycle. Same pattern — stun on blue light, reposition Guila, break the burst and unleash all remaining skills and gauges.

Visual Signals — Red, Blue, Gold

Three visual signals appear during the Marmas fight. Reading them correctly is essential to avoiding the slow debuff and landing the stun.

Red Signal — Danger

Indicates Marmas is charging a face attack. Move behind him immediately to avoid the slow debuff applied to characters standing in front.

Blue Signal — Stun Window

Blue light on Marmas means he is about to teleport. Switch to your stun character within 1–2 seconds. The switch skill activates automatically and stuns Marmas for 1–2 seconds.

Gold Signal — Burst Activation

Indicates the burst is ready to be activated. Ensure Guila is positioned behind Marmas before triggering.

Positioning — Why Always Behind

Standing in front of Marmas applies a slow debuff to your character. The back position is the safe DPS zone and the only valid position for Guila to activate the burst.

In Front, Close — Marmas Dodges

Being too close to the front causes Marmas to jump repeatedly, breaking contact and preventing damage.

In Front, At Range — Ranged Attacks

Marmas uses maracas or projectile attacks. More predictable but still triggers the slow debuff during his charge animation.

Behind — Safe DPS Zone

No slow debuff applies from the back. Continue dealing damage without interruption. This is the only position from which Guila can activate the burst.

Frequently Asked Questions

What element is Marmas weak to in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?

Marmas is weak to Fire damage. Meliodas and Escanor are the primary fire DPS characters used against him.

What is the Burst mechanic in the Marmas fight?

The Burst is activated by positioning Guila behind Marmas. Breaking the burst opens a DPS window where all skills and gauges should be used. Each cycle missed is damage permanently lost.

What are the timing windows for Marmas?

The three timing windows occur at 5:45, 5:05 and 4:25 on the combat timer. These are the optimal moments to activate and break the burst for maximum damage.

How do I stun Marmas in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?

When the blue light signal appears on Marmas, switch to your designated stun character within 1–2 seconds. The switch skill activates automatically and stuns him briefly. Use this window to reposition Guila behind him.

Is Marmas clearable as F2P in 7DS Origin?

Yes. Marmas is clearable as F2P without Daisy using Meliodas, Guila, Manie and Tristan. Focus on correct positioning and the burst cycle timing. Multiple community clears under 2 minutes have been recorded.

What does Daisy do in the Marmas fight?

Daisy reduces Marmas's critical resistance, significantly increasing Meliodas damage output during the DPS window. She is the optimal flex pick but not required for a clear.

What does Slader do in the Marmas team?

Slader charges the gauge, uses a charged attack and provides stun capability. He is an alternative to Tristan when a more reliable stun on the blue light signal is needed.

What is the Meliodas rotation for Marmas?

Position Meliodas behind Marmas. When the burst breaks, use double Q then spam E to maximise damage in the DPS window. Charge gauges during the repositioning phase between cycles.

How many teleports does Marmas do?

Marmas teleports 3 times during the fight, approximately at the 5:05 and 4:25 timing windows. Each teleport is preceded by the blue light signal which is your stun opportunity.

Why does my character get slowed in the Marmas fight?

The slow debuff is triggered by standing in front of Marmas when he uses his charge animation. Move behind him as soon as you see the indicator above his head.

What is the best Meliodas passive for Marmas?

Passive 4 (P4) is recommended for Meliodas in the Marmas fight as it maximises fire damage output during the burst break window.

Can I clear Marmas without Guila?

Guila is effectively required — she is the only character who can activate the Burst mechanic which is central to the fight. No alternative burst activator exists in Season 1.

What is the Timespace Junction in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?

The Timespace Junction is an end-game dungeon mode with sector-based boss fights. Season 1 features Marmas as the main boss with optional time-attack challenges and exclusive rewards.

What are the rewards for clearing Marmas?

Clearing Marmas provides exclusive gear, materials and progression resources. Higher star clears yield additional rewards. Check the in-game reward screen for the current patch drops.

How do I get 3 stars on Marmas?

Three-star clears require clearing within the time limit with optimal team performance. Focus on the burst cycle, minimise missed DPS windows, and land every stun on the blue light signal.

Why is my burst not activating when I use Guila?

Guila must be positioned directly behind Marmas to activate the burst. If she is in front of or beside him, the burst will not trigger. Always verify her positioning before starting each burst cycle.

Should I use Daisy or Tristan with Meliodas against Marmas?

Use Daisy if you have her — she reduces Marmas's critical resistance and boosts Meliodas damage significantly. Tristan is the F2P alternative: he accelerates the burst and reduces fire damage taken. Both are valid; Daisy is the optimal pick for faster clears.

Can I use Escanor instead of Meliodas for Marmas?

Yes. Escanor with an axe works as a fire-element DPS alternative. Pair him with Guila, Manie and Daisy. He is effective but requires stronger gear investment to match Meliodas damage efficiency. Meliodas remains the preferred pick due to his passive scaling.

Why does Marmas keep jumping away from me?

If Marmas repeatedly jumps, you are standing too close in front of him. Being in close melee range from the front causes him to leap backward and break contact. Move behind him or attack from mid-range to maintain damage uptime.

What gear do I need to clear Marmas in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?

There is no hard gear requirement for entry. However, clears under 2 minutes typically require gear suited to Meliodas's fire DPS role. Prioritise attack, critical rate and critical damage sub-stats. A fully upgraded fire set significantly accelerates burst cycle damage.

How long should the Marmas fight take with an optimised team?

With Meliodas, Guila, Manie and Daisy at optimal gear, the fight should complete in under 1 minute 30 seconds. F2P teams using Tristan typically clear in 1 minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes. Missing any burst cycle window adds approximately 30–40 seconds per missed cycle.

I keep dying to Marmas — what am I doing wrong?

The most common mistakes are: standing in front of Marmas and taking the slow debuff, missing the blue light stun window and letting him teleport freely, or not activating the burst correctly with Guila. Focus on positioning behind him, reading the blue signal, and landing every stun opportunity.

Does Marmas have a phase 2 or enrage mechanic?

Marmas does not have a traditional phase 2. The fight structure is defined by three teleport cycles. There is no enrage timer in Season 1, but missing burst cycles prolongs the fight and increases the risk of mistakes.
