Overview

Daredevil Glaive is a high-energy instrumental track by Artifact that crossed over into maimai でらっくす CiRCLE from the ONGEKI rhythm game series, where it first appeared in ONGEKI R.E.D. PLUS. Clocking in at a brisk 185 BPM and running 2 minutes 20 seconds, the song is a purely instrumental composition, no vocals, no lyrics, driven by aggressive synth leads, pounding percussion, and the kind of relentless momentum that suits a boss-chart encounter. In maimai, Daredevil Glaive was made available as part of the ONGEKI Area 9 collaboration event, unlockable from March 5 through April 30, 2026 by accumulating 525 km of travel distance on the in-game area map. Its MASTER chart (level 14, constant 14.2) was co-designed by サファ太 and メロンポップ and features 1004 total notes, notably including 99 Break notes, making it a heavily break-dense chart that demands precise timing across its many high-pressure sections. The EXPERT chart (level 11+) was handled by Luxizhel. The song remains exclusive to Japanese arcade regions. A small piece of jacket-art trivia has drawn community attention: the artist credit on the song's jacket is misspelled as "Artfact" instead of "Artifact", an error that has persisted across both its ONGEKI and maimai appearances.
