Aramunhaesla vs. Irae: A Rematch on the Frosty Cliff

It has been quite a while since their last major clash on June 8th, where Irae walked away with the upper hand. However, the winds of war have shifted. Following the server transfer in July, the Aramunhaesla group saw a significant boost in combat power with the return of the Hot-Blooded Alliance from the Iruju 3 server, whereas Irae has remained relatively static.

Despite this, Irae still holds the edge in raw top-tier combat power. Comparing the top 20, Aramunhaesla averages 123,503 combat power, while Irae sits slightly higher at 124,167. While Irae boasts two titans with over 140,000 power, Aramunhaesla holds a numerical advantage with three more players exceeding the 130,000 threshold, not to mention a crushing lead in the 90,000 to 110,000 bracket.

Given this sheer volume of players, we expect a massive swing in how the middle bosses are handled on the Frosty Cliff. Unlike the Black Night Archipelago, these bosses have lower health, making them vulnerable to sheer numbers. Still, with Irae’s top-tier veterans hitting harder than anyone else, the final result remains anyone's guess.

Let’s look at the heavy hitters. For Aramunhaesla, we have Storm Wizards Lee-daepyo (138,659), Dual Swordsman Naehyul-daejang (134,499), Storm Wizard KingSmaN (134,466), Storm Wizard Gakseong-Nika (134,098), and Storm Wizard Cheonha-Cheongeom (132,704). On the Irae side, we find Dual Swordsman Daesama (141,057), Warrior Black-daejang (140,177), Storm Wizard Black-Gidu (136,075), Storm Wizard Ppang-sama (135,961), and Priest Kosama (132,099).

Aramunhaesla’s roster is heavily skewed toward Storm Wizards—they make up roughly 45% of the top-ranked group, which will surely make for some explosive team fights. Irae, meanwhile, is doubling down on melee bruisers like Warriors and Fighters. Daesama and Black-daejang will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the Aramunhaesla backline.
