Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking] for Blade & Soul Revolution. After a solid debut in second place, the Miho Swordmaster seems to have stalled, losing its momentum. This week, it saw a 2.4% point dip, hitting a wall against the formidable presence of the Warlock.

Conversely, the Warlock surged by 2.2% points, eyeing a return to the 20% threshold. Having climbed to 18.1%, the gap between the two classes has widened to 5% points. It is almost as if the top combat power rankers simply swapped their main classes, effectively trading spots.

The combat power change table makes this shift even more apparent. Combined across both metrics, the Warlock gained 28 players, while the Miho Swordmaster shed 29. While we cannot definitively claim everyone jumped ship, the data paints a very clear picture.

Interestingly, the combat power fluctuations remain slightly above average. Unless a specific power bracket saw a mass exodus, this is likely down to player preference—some folks just didn't click with the Miho Swordmaster's playstyle. The Miho Swordmaster maintains an average attack of roughly 3.18 million and defense over 2.62 million, keeping its stats stable despite the shifting population.

Combat Power Rankings and Class Preferences in the new 'Changeable' server

The new 'Changeable' server is still seeing significant volatility in its class charts. The Miho Swordmaster's population drop here is even more drastic than in the older servers, plummeting 22% points in a single week to settle at 24%. It still holds the top spot comfortably ahead of the second-place Twin Swordmaster, which is expected for a server defined by a new class release. However, the sheer speed of this decline is hard to ignore.

While class ratios are in flux, the growth of rankers on 'Changeable' remains relentless. The Hongmoon level cap has surpassed 72, with players grinding without a break. To keep the momentum going, the 'Nine-Tailed Fox's Secret Training' event kicked off on August 12. This server-exclusive mission rewards players with 'Ancient Restoration Stone Selection Chests' for hitting specific milestones, and those who reach Hongmoon level 80 receive a '100% Ancient Damage Restoration Coupon.'

Mythical Guardian Spirit Special Option Statistics

The Guardian Spirit charts remain calm this week. Even with the launch of the Miho Swordmaster, there were no major surprises. The meta remains dominated by 'Intense Galaxy Wukong.' Keep in mind that many top-tier combat power players are opting for 'Life Sun' or 'Life Galaxy' to bolster their combat sustain through healing.

In PvE, 'Harsh Sun Torimwang' reigns supreme. While 'Cruel' and 'Destiny' from the first special option tier follow, they lag behind by nearly 50%. Unlike the PvP options where you have a bit of breathing room, it seems the PvE meta is much less forgiving.

Guardian Spirit Leader Combination Statistics

The Ancient-grade Guardian Spirit chart is locked in a weekly tug-of-war for the top spot. This time, Awakened Poharan and Fleet Admiral Eun Gwang-il have traded places, repeating their cycle of alternating ratios as if by clockwork.

However, the supporting members are shifting slightly, with 'Awakened Erna' becoming the common denominator. Erna appears in both leader combinations and is gaining ground. Specifically, the Fleet Admiral Eun Gwang-il setup now primarily pairs with 'Awakened Poharan - Awakened Erna,' favoring an offensive-heavy composition over survivability.

This Week's Ranker Settings

Overall Attack Power #1, Summoner 'Dung-geul'

This week's number one ranker in total attack power is none other than a Summoner. Dung-geul from the Yu-a-dok-jon server took the top spot with a staggering 5.03 million attack power—a rare feat for a Summoner to dominate the attack charts.

The source of this power is the +20 'Jucheon Staff,' currently the undisputed best-in-slot weapon in Blade & Soul Revolution. This is complemented by a mix of Yongho and Jinwol accessories for set bonuses. With the refinement grades still being polished, reaching U-grade across the board will likely push this power even further.

The martial arts badge setup hits all the marks for a high-end Summoner. By combining 'Jinhyun-Suri' and 'Cheonma-Jingyeok,' the player maximizes damage output for shock and morning glory absorption skills. The currently trending 'Avatar' badge has also been added to boost attack power. Instead of 'Spiral' for pure offense, the player opted for 'Cheonbu' to balance out survivability. The badge refinements are locked in with 'Double Thorn, Leap, and Bud.'

Blade & Soul Revolution User Poll

Last week, we gauged expectations for the August update. Class balance improvements—a perennial hot topic—took the top spot by a landslide. It seems players are particularly keen on skill adjustments following the Miho Swordmaster's recent arrival.

Coming in second was the demand for improvements to the integrated dungeon matching system. It actually generated more interest than the new 'Baekcheong Ice Jade' content, likely because players are looking for a smoother experience in these four-player dungeons.

The next poll is all about combat power. With top-tier players now exceeding 8 million in combined attack and defense, the definition of a 'high-power' player is shifting. Some argue 7 million is the benchmark. What do you think is the minimum threshold? We have included options ranging from specific numbers to the classic 'anyone stronger than me!'—cast your vote, and we will reveal the results in next week's Meca Ranking.
