Welcome to our first Meca Ranking for Arthdal Chronicles in August. It has been a wild week for Alliance and Archipelago rankings, largely thanks to the stellar performance of the 'Michinja' alliance on the Aramunhaesla server. Meanwhile, the class distribution saw some notable shifts in the Priest and Assassin brackets; let's dive into the details.

Priest Dominates the Combat Power Top 5

The combat power rankings in Arthdal Chronicles saw movement in two key tiers. At the top, the 5th and 6th positions swapped. 'Michinja' from Aramunhaesla climbed one spot; while the former 5th place holder, 'BlackSabu', increased combat power by 380, the growth of 'Michinja' was much more significant at 997, solidifying a total sweep of the Top 5 by the Priest class.Elsewhere, 'Hwangjini' climbed two spots, nudging Aramunhaesla's 'Michinsangdu' and 'Michindaemuri' down by one each, thanks to an impressive 842 increase in combat power.

In terms of class distribution, the atmosphere between the Top 100 and the 101-500 bracket was quite different. The former has stabilized, with minimal movement, save for the Assassin class reclaiming 1% of the Fighter's share.

The latter, however, saw six classes shifting their shares for the second week running. Three distinct trends emerged: Dangri and Stormcaster saw minor fluctuations of 0.3 percentage points. Archers, who suffered a heavy blow with a 2.2 percentage point drop in late July, managed to claw back 0.2 percentage points in this first August tally. Conversely, the Assassin class, which had surged by 1.2 percentage points, saw a 0.7 percentage point decline, being overtaken by the Archer once more.Fighters and Priests both saw a 0.3 percentage point increase. While the growth curve is shallower than last week, a steady climb is what counts in this game.

How do the server-wide average combat power rankings look?

The average combat power per server shows a divide between legacy and new servers. Among legacy servers, the rankings have been set since Chusando hit 4th place in the fourth week of July. It is slowly narrowing the gap with 5th place Mihaje, but no breakthrough has occurred yet. With a difference of 337 in average combat power, one has to wonder if an upset is on the horizon for August.

As for the new server group, Leo is steadily climbing. Starting at 15th, it has moved up one spot each week, finally landing in 13th place—the highest among the six servers. Additionally, the #1 ranker has changed from '燎原续昼' to 'Eozer', marking the steepest growth curve among the new servers.

What about the server-wide Alliance score rankings?

Last week was the Archipelago tax week in Arthdal Chronicles. Naturally, this triggered intense competition for Archipelago scores, causing significant volatility in Alliance and Archipelago rankings, as hunting in the Archipelago increases alliance points. The 1st place alliance, 'First', saw their score jump by a staggering 49.1 billion.

In the upper echelon, Chusando's 'Eun-geo' alliance overtook 'Cheongryong', while in the mid-tiers, Darcus's 'Gusok' and Hagaesan's 'Inhyeong-ppopgi' swapped places. 'Gusok' climbed two spots to 10th, while 'Inhyeong-ppopgi' slipped two.

The 14th-20th bracket saw a total reshuffle. During this shake-up, Ibnya's 'AceZ' dropped off the chart, with the 'Autumn' alliance of Namdalsan taking its place. Notably, Hagaesan's 'Doenjang-jjigae' alliance made a striking move, leaping three spots up the ranking.

And the Archipelago score rankings?

Competition is even fiercer in the Archipelago rankings. Aside from 4th place 'Noppakku', no one else maintained their rank. The highlight is the 'Michin-' group from Aramunhaesla, led by 1st place 'Michinja'. As members of the Michinja alliance, five of them have left their mark on the chart in high positions. 'Michinja' soared from 5th to take the throne, while 'Michindokkaebi', 'Michinsangdu', 'Michinwanja', and 'Michindaemuri' settled into 6th through 9th. This explains exactly how the Michinja alliance secured 2nd place in the overall alliance rankings.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

On July 16, Arthdal Chronicles expressed gratitude for the support regarding the New World Legion, gifting players various Radiant Summon Tickets and Rare Food Selection Boxes. We held a poll asking, 'If you could receive one more Radiant Summon Ticket, what would you choose?' The most popular answer was, 'Anything is fine as long as I get one!'—a sentiment I find hard to argue with. 2nd place went to Radiant Mount Awakening Summon Tickets, and 3rd place to Radiant Weapon Appearance Awakening Summon Tickets.

Finally, here is this week's poll topic. According to the announcement on July 31, Arthdal Chronicles plans to open server transfers on August 6, between 10:00 and 22:00. Are you planning a server transfer? If so, why? Share your thoughts via the poll, and we will reveal the results next time.
