Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking] for Arthdal Chronicles. It has been a month since the game introduced the new 'Spirit and Mount Awakening' growth content. The top-tier players' combat power has seen such a meteoric rise that it’s almost unrecognisable. Who among the rankers has seen the greatest surge in power, and what is the average growth over the last 30 days? KookminTree has crunched the numbers for you.

Who saw the biggest jump in combat power this month?

The recent awakening update has sent average combat power for top-tier players through the roof. Looking at the hard data, the top 100 rankers saw their average combat power climb from 120,416 to 127,461—a jump of 7,045. Expand the scope to the top 500, and the average rose from 101,901 to 105,734, an increase of 3,833.

What stands out most is the sheer power spike among the elite. For players at the top, where gaining even 10 combat power is a grind, the new Awakening Collection proved to be the golden ticket. Most top-tier players have been busy pushing for Mythic, Legendary, and Heroic awakenings to inflate their stats.

Then there’s the buff to Heroic gear. Following the update on the 13th, top-tier items like the Slaughterer, Gerrard, Karakuda, and Radakun sets received stat boosts. Naturally, this sent the combat power of those equipped with these items soaring, while mid-tier players—who largely lack this gear—saw relatively little change.

So, who climbed the highest? According to our findings, the player 'Tianya' on the global server 'Saya 2' recorded a staggering increase of 32,789. This player has been on a consistent rise, vaulting from 92nd place in the global rankings to an impressive 12th.

Another player to watch is 'Redeeming Demon King' on the 'Tagon 1' server, who secured second place with a 31,486 increase. Keep in mind, the global servers still have more untapped content potential—such as collection books, statues, and tablets—compared to the Korean servers, which explains the more dramatic growth figures.

As for the Korean servers, the player 'Hoithyeong' from 'Isodnyeong 2' took the top spot with an increase of 22,202, landing 4th in the global rankings. Other notable risers include 'Black Captain' (Irae 3) with 18,549, 'Crazy Person' (Yunseul 1) with 18,091, and 'Villain' (Yunseul 2) with 17,419. It will be fascinating to see where these players peak.

How do the average server rankings look?

The server average rankings remained largely stagnant this week, with most servers seeing a modest increase of around 1,000. 'Yunseul 1' stands out with a 2,031 increase, largely buoyed by the explosive growth of 'Crazy Person' who resides on that server.

How about the Faction Score rankings?

With no major Faction Leader elections last week, the race was relatively quiet. 'Hoithyeong' (Isodnyeong 2) dominated with 5,756,070,000 points. Trailing were 'Villain' (Yunseul 2) with 4,666,950,000, 'Aram Forest Insect Shell' (Yunseul 2) with 4,117,660,000, and 'KingSmaN' (Aramunhaesla 2) with 3,905,820,000.

What is the class distribution among rankers?

Shifting to class distribution, the top 100 rankers are comprised of 26% Warriors, 24% Storm Surgeons, 19% Priests, 11% Duelists, 10% Fighters, and 10% Archers. Looking at the top 500, the stats shift slightly: 27% Storm Surgeons, 23.2% Priests, 13.8% Duelists, 12.0% Warriors, 10.6% Archers, 10% Fighters, and 3.4% Dangris.

What are the Alliance Score rankings?

The 'Evil Spirit' alliance on 'Yunseul 2' continues to hold the fort at #1 with 18,272,930,000 points. With such a powerhouse roster, it’s hard to imagine them being dethroned anytime soon. They are followed by 'AceX' (Irae 1) with 18,038,020,000, 'AceT' (Irae 2) with 17,649,110,000, and 'Dooly' (Isodnyeong 2) with 15,747,280,000.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

Last week’s poll asked: 'Mythic attempt vs. Legendary Awakening Collection, which is the priority?' A staggering 92.31% voted for prioritizing the Legendary Awakening Collection by dismantling duplicate legendaries. It seems the player base prefers the reliability of guaranteed gains over the gambling nature of Mythic attempts.

For this week's poll: The developers have teased a massive August update, including the new fire dungeon 'Temple of Crimson Flame' and the 'Alchemy Tree' growth system. Which of these upcoming features are you looking forward to the most? Cast your vote, and we will reveal the results next week.
