Welcome to the Blade & Soul Revolution Meca Ranking. It has been a quiet week, devoid of major updates or seismic shifts, which provided a rare moment for players to refine their characters. We have seen top-tier rankers pushing their limits with newly acquired Mythic accessory enhancements and Ancient-grade Guardian Spirit blessings. Let us dive into the combat power fluctuations and track how much our elite players have grown.

The growth trend among rankers chasing the latest items is fierce. Average combat power across both categories has surged again, with attack power now flirting with the 3-million mark. Given the 106,000 increase this week alone, we should be looking at the high 2.9 millions by next week.

Average defense has not climbed as aggressively as attack, but it still rose by 54,000, comfortably exceeding the 2.43 million threshold. Much of this can be attributed to the rising popularity of the Warden class. With 51 Wardens averaging a staggering 2.517 million in defense, they are likely the primary driver behind this stat inflation.

In terms of class popularity, the Archer has seen a slight recovery after last week's sharp decline, while the Blade Dancer population has dipped. The gap between the Warden, now in 5th place, and the rest is widening by 2.1 percentage points. Meanwhile, the consistent popularity of the Blade Master and Summoner suggests that the Warden's grip on 6th place might soon be in jeopardy.

Combat power rankings and class preferences for the new 'Munjeonseongsi' server

The Munjeonseongsi server remains laser-focused on growth. A simple look at the top rankings tells the story. The ranker 'JuiceAngel', who surpassed 3 million last week, dropped to 10th with 2.02 million this week—a shift purely driven by equipment setups. Players are constantly juggling between growth-oriented gear and PvP-optimized builds, revealing exactly what they are prioritizing at any given moment. For Munjeonseongsi, it is growth above all else.

The top 5 classes maintain a fairly balanced presence. Dual Blade and Warlock are tied at 11.5%, while Summoner and Swordmaster share a 9.5% stake. The 5th place Musketier is only 0.5% behind, indicating a healthy variety where players are not funnelled into a single meta choice.

Statistics on special options for Mythic-grade Guardian Spirits

Mythic Guardian Spirits saw no rank changes, only minor fluctuations in share. Torimwang dropped by 3 percentage points, while Seonghwajo and Dueoksini gained 1% and 2% respectively. Essentially, the 3rd and 4th place options simply absorbed what Torimwang lost—hardly a revolutionary shift.

However, looking at special options, there is a notable movement. 'Vitality' and 'Harsh' have effectively swapped positions. Vitality is back in 2nd place. With 'Intense' dropping by 2 percentage points, Vitality is well-positioned to challenge for the top spot. Since these options are primarily favored for PvP, the trend will likely follow the usage rates of the 'Jechondaeseong' and 'Seonghwajo' spirits.

Guardian Spirit combination statistics based on the leader

The fleet commander Eun Gwang-il has slipped back to 2nd place. It could not hold the lead for more than a week. Still, maintaining a 25% share suggests the performance is solid. The shift is simply due to the rising momentum of Awakened Poharan.

The battle for 3rd and 4th is following a similar script. The share for Mushin's disciple Jin Seo-yeon remained static, while the Hong Seok-geun share dropped by 3 percentage points, costing the latter the 3rd spot. Jin Seo-yeon effectively gained a higher rank by default. The enduring popularity of Poharan clearly shows that Blade & Soul Revolution rankers value versatility above all else.

Ranker Setup of the Week

Total Summoner defense rank #1, 'Motdoenseunggi'

We have prepared a setup for the Summoner, a class currently trending upward. If you are a practitioner interested in this class, take note of the setup used by our protagonist, 'Motdoenseunggi'. This week, the player achieved 1st place in overall Summoner defense. The build favors defense over attack, which complements the class's inherent kit perfectly, specializing in recovery and survivability for PvP.

While most combat power rankers prioritize upgrading their weapons to Mythic grade first, 'Motdoenseunggi' prioritized accessories. After swapping out a set of necklaces and earrings, the player focused heavily on awakening and refinement options. Furthermore, every piece of gear—excluding the weapon and ring—was selected to bolster defense, block, and critical damage reduction. This is the secret behind the massive defensive stats.

The Guardian Spirit choice is the survival-oriented 'Dueoksini'. Combined with Hong Seok-geun and the Sword Saint Bicheon as leaders, the setup is built for the long haul. These spirits limit the opponent's health recovery, grant immunity to crowd control, and reduce incoming rear damage. It is an ideal composition for the drawn-out engagements that Summoners thrive in.

Blade & Soul Revolution User Poll

Last week's poll gauged anticipation for the July update. Based on items from the developer's notes, the new class took the lead with a massive 74.4% of the vote. Improvements to convenience took second place with 20.5%, outpacing interest in event war zones. Let's move on to our next poll topic based on these findings.
