Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking] for Arthdal Chronicles. Let's be honest, the top-tier players in Arthdal Chronicles treat their gear sets like a wardrobe—one for hunting and another for PvP. The power gap between these setups is astronomical. Typically, the PvP loadout boasts the highest combat power, what the community affectionately calls 'Full Power'. So, who currently sits on the throne of 'Full Power'? KookminTree has been crunching the numbers over the past week to find out.

※ 'Full Power' is measured based on the peak combat power recorded between June 30 and July 7.

'Paeeakjil' smashes past the 141,000 mark in 'Full Power'

Generally, Arthdal Chronicles rankers favour elemental sets for grinding and boss encounters, while the 'Slaughterer' set is the go-to for PvP. Because the Slaughterer set is packed with PvP-specific stats, the combat power jumps significantly compared to the elemental gear. It creates quite a discrepancy every Monday when we tally the stats, highlighting the stark contrast between these two worlds.

So, who is the top dog when the PvP gear is locked and loaded? According to KookminTree's analysis of the official ranking page, Paeeakjil reached a staggering 141,605 combat power during a skirmish at Frosty Cliff last Sunday. Interestingly, when the same player switches to hunting gear, the power drops to 137,344—a massive gap of 4,250 points.

Next in line is Hoithyeong from the Isodeunyeong 2 server. They clocked in at 139,360 combat power during a battle against the boss at Black Night Archipelago last Saturday. Unlike Paeeakjil, Hoithyeong's hunting setup sits at 137,347, showing a much tighter margin. It seems Paeeakjil has invested significantly more into the Slaughterer equipment set.

Among the masses, the most intriguing player is Daesama from the Irae 2 server. Data suggests that Daesama is currently running a Twin Swordsman for PvP and a Stormcaller for hunting. This results in a combat power of 132,548 for the Stormcaller farming set versus 138,405 for the PvP Twin Swordsman setup—a difference of 5,857. It is almost like switching to an entirely different character. On the flip side, this proves that the Stormcaller is currently performing exceptionally well in PvE content.

Other top-tier players worth noting include BlackDaejang from Irae 3 (135,391), KkulppaneunGongju from Inaisin-gi 1 (135,003), LeeRepresentative from AramunHaesla 3 (134,108), Bbangsama from Irae 1 (132,564), BlackGidu from Irae 3 (131,567), and Prada from Isodeunyeong 3 (131,317). The massive combat power fluctuations in their stats indicate they are all juggling dedicated elemental and Slaughterer sets. We look forward to seeing how they fare on the integrated field.

What about the average combat power per server?

Let's take a look at the average combat power across servers. There haven't been any dramatic shifts this week; average combat power has seen a slight uptick, with most servers maintaining their relative positions. However, with the server transfers planned for July, we anticipate a massive shake-up in the rankings once alliances start moving around.

How do the Faction Point rankings look?

As this week marked the selection of the Grand Faction Leader and the Lawless King, the race for faction points was incredibly fierce. Paeeakjil from the Yunseul 2 server dominated the board with 4.50193 billion points, securing the top spot across all servers for the 8th consecutive week. Following them were Toakjil from Yunseul 3 (3.46415 billion), Hoithyeong from Isodeunyeong 2 (2.91106 billion), KingSmaN from AramunHaesla 2 (2.80042 billion), and LeeRepresentative from AramunHaesla 3 (2.76481 billion).

What about class distribution among top players?

Shifting gears to class popularity: among the top 100 players globally, the Stormcaller leads at 38%, followed by Warrior (23%), Priest (13%), Twin Swordsman (12%), Fighter (11%), Dang-geuri (2%), and Archer (1%). When we broaden the scope to the top 500 players (those with 84,229+ combat power), the distribution shifts slightly: Stormcaller (27.8%), Priest (21.6%), Twin Swordsman (18.6%), Warrior (12.2%), Fighter (9.8%), Archer (6.2%), and Dang-geuri (3.8%).

What is the Alliance Fame ranking?

Next up, the alliance fame rankings. The AceX alliance from Irae 1 continues to hold the fort at #1 with 23.07468 billion points. They are followed by the Yeolhyeol alliance from Airuz 3 (17.22895 billion), the YasdalUniversity alliance from Yunseul 1 (16.62236 billion), and the Knights alliance from AramunHaesla 2 (15.57209 billion).
