Look, let's be honest, we are diving straight into the New World Season 1 of Arthdal Chronicles with our dedicated spotlight on the server rankings across six different realms. This week finally kicks off the much-anticipated Masters League finals matching. Naturally, plenty of top-tier rankers have significantly boosted their combat power in preparation, making waves across the community. So, who are the standout rankers grabbing attention this week? And how do the power dynamics shape up ahead of the Masters League finals? KookminTree has done the groundwork and checked out the latest New World Season 1 data for you.

The developer's rising star, 涂涂, who has claimed the number two spot in the New World Season 1 rankings.

What with a generous Chuseok event and more rankers sorting out the new auxiliary gear cape, some proper shifts have shaken up the combat power among the top New World Season 1 server rankers. Among these, the most talked-about figure is the storm wizard 涂涂 from the Ara server, whose combat power skyrocketed by a staggering 12,446 in just a single week. Consequently, 涂涂 has overtaken the archer 원이 from the Vela server to snatch the number two position in the New World Season 1 server rankings.

Next up, we simply have to look at the proper rivalry brewing between the storm wizard 늙은매 and 제현 on the Leo server. The developer notes that both rankers belong to opposing factions on that server, specifically the ROYAL and Shinhwa alliances, meaning they are locked in a fierce, neck-and-neck combat power race. As a result over the past week, 늙은매 saw an increase of 16,005 while 제현 jumped by 18,043. It sets the stage brilliantly for a proper showdown in the Masters League.

Beyond them, quite a few other high-ranking players managed to crank up their combat power. To give credit where it is due, 당그리 피나렐로 from the Lyra server bumped up by 11,780, the archer 燎原续昼 from the Leo server added 11,169, the storm wizard 악어 from the Vela server gained 9,500, and the archer 평택김찬호 from the Leo server climbed by 7,465, all seeing their positions rise accordingly. Expect them to make quite a splash in the Masters League this week.

The Leo server preps for the Masters League by boosting average combat power by 6,242

In preparation for this week's New World Season 1 Masters League finals matching, the Leo server has noticeably beefed up its combat power. The average combat power of top rankers on that server hit 119,977, marking a hefty 6,242 jump from last week. Interestingly, this surge isn't confined to a single faction; rankers across the board from the internal civil war participants, namely 兄弟盟, Shinhwa, and ROYAL, all chipped in with increases.Following closely behind, the Ara server saw an average combat power increase of 3,925, Vela went up by 3,681, Pavo added 4,052, Orion rose by 3,595, and Lyra gained 4,300, allowing each server to maintain their respective standings.

The blockbuster matchup of New World Season 1: The Masters League Finals

The most discussed integrated content matching in New World Season 1 this week is undoubtedly the Masters League final showdown between the Ara and Leo servers. It is essentially a clash of the ultimate celestial bodies to decide who truly reigns supreme in New World Season 1. That said, it will not be a straightforward 1v1 grudge match between the two servers; rather, things look set to shake out into a tangled web of cross-server alliances depending on how the politics play out.

To break it down, the Leo server is currently caught in an internal civil war, with a fierce conflict raging between the 兄弟盟 and Shinhwa coalition on one side and the ROYAL alliance on the other. Meanwhile, over on Ara, top-tier alliances like 耀夜星辰, ROYAL, and Ggeodeureok have locked arms, uniting the entire server under one banner. Consequently, there is a very strong likelihood that the Ara server and the ROYAL alliance from the Leo server might join forces to counter the 兄弟盟 and Shinhwa coalition from Leo.

Should such an alliance actually form, how do the power balances look? First off, the average combat power of the top 20 rankers stands at 117,618 for the Ara coalition and 112,782 for the Leo coalition. When looking at members boasting between 130k and 80k combat power, the Ara coalition fields 142 players compared to the Leo coalition's 68, giving the Ara side a rather overwhelming advantage in both average strength and sheer numbers.

On the flip side, the developer points out that the player with the single highest, practically peerless combat power right now is Eozer, who happens to belong to the Leo coalition. Based on today's figures, Eozer sits at a mind-boggling 190,465 combat power—a metric you would hardly expect from a standard New World Season 1 server ranker. Since there is a massive 33,208 gap between Eozer and Ara's top ranker 涂涂, taking down Eozer looks to be an almighty tall order.

Meanwhile, back on the 19th during the Frost Foot Cliff battle, both sides tested out a remarkably similar coalition structure to the one expected for these Masters League finals. Back then, the Ara coalition managed to secure the upper hand by successfully taking down the final boss, Kurkan. Naturally, it leaves everyone wondering how this upcoming Masters League final matching will pan out.
