It is time for the Vampir Meca Ranking. On August 25, Vampir held a developer live stream titled Night Talks to connect with the successors. They dropped a lot of news, including the upcoming update roadmap and the schedule for the VCC S1 Clan Championship. The broadcast wrapped up with a live Q&A where the development team actually listened to what the successors had to say. Naturally, the very first topic on the table was classes. With talks revolving around class change tickets and balance adjustments, we were reminded once again that classes are the absolute peak of interest for the successors.

With that in mind, let us take a look at the class distribution this week, which turned out to be remarkably quiet. Without major variables like balance patches, class change tickets, or server transfers directly shaking things up, we are just looking at natural organic shifts. As a result, the top 3 classes across all servers mostly held their ground, with many areas like Kain 3 showing a pretty even spread. The gap in popularity ratios between classes remains virtually non-existent.

Total Class Share

The share of ranked classes across all servers saw slightly wider fluctuations than last week. Considering how dead calm the individual server data looked just a moment ago, the tremors were bigger than expected. The most notable movement came from Carnage, which dipped by 0.4 percentage points, putting a bit more distance between it and the number one spot held by Viper. Meanwhile, Viper nudged ahead by a tiny 0.1 percentage points to widen the lead.

Akasha and Grim Reaper also managed to pull off some headway, with the former rising by 0.3 percentage points and the latter by 0.1. While these changes are not nearly enough to threaten the throne, seeing matchups like Bloodstain and Akasha steadily closing the gap on each other is quite fascinating.

Global Class Share

The global servers look a bit like class exchanges have cooled down slightly. Even so, the fluctuation range was considerably larger compared to the all-server data we looked at earlier. The biggest mover was Viper, tumbling down by 1.4 percentage points. Right on cue, Akasha, Bloodstain, and Grim Reaper eagerly carved up that 0.4 to 0.5 percentage point pie among themselves.

Now, the real spectator sport is the battle for third place between Carnage and fourth-place Bloodstain. The gap between the two sits at a razor-thin 0.2 percentage points, generating quite a bit of tension. Previously, these two classes used to rise and fall together, painting nearly identical graphs, but the gap has finally shrunk drastically. Can Bloodstain seize this golden chance for a reversal? All eyes are on them.

All-Server Clan Ranking

In the all-server clan rankings, the top six clans successfully defended their existing crowns. The Potato Field clan from the Nell 1 server spearheaded the pack by racking up over 21.76 million experience points, followed closely by Sparta A, Area Supervisor, Executioner, Madness L, and Reaper, all maintaining tight margins. This week featured an unusually high number of clans blowing past the 20 million experience point mark, with Executioner and Madness L standing out with sharp upward trajectories after lingering in the 19 million range last week.

Scraping into the 20th spot on the chart was the Kurtz clan from the Mila 2 server. Though they did not quite shatter the 17 million accumulated experience wall, they showed plenty of hidden grit. For reference, the clan sitting in Kurtz's shoes last week was Dokdo, but this time they cleared 17.11 million to secure a much more stable entry onto the chart.

Vampir Meca Ranking User Vote

Vampir's special event, Red Moon Festa, is currently in full swing. Picking the favorite part of the event was our topic last time around. The voting results showed that the Re-synthesis Ticket Attendance Book Event completely crushed the other three contenders. It grabbed an overwhelming 76.1% of the support, leaving the runner-up Red Moon Festa Dungeon far in the dust. You can really feel the desperate yearning the successors had for those re-synthesis tickets.

This week's vote focuses on the scheduled September updates revealed during the recent Night Talks broadcast. With exciting additions like the 5v5 party battlefield, the South Korea region VCC S1 Clan Championship, advanced disciplines, and the expansion of the ancient workshop on the table, we are dying to know which one you, the successors, are anticipating the most. We hope many of you will cast your votes, and look forward to the results in next week's Meca Ranking.
