Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking], your regular look into the world of Arthdal Chronicles. Ever since the arrival of Spirit and Mount Awakening, we’ve seen the power levels of top-tier players skyrocket. Naturally, this has made clearing the 4th Corps raids a breeze, driving up average levels across the board. So, who is currently sitting at the top of the food chain, and which names should you be watching? KookminTree has done the legwork to bring you the latest intel.

The undisputed titan of both Level and Combat Power rankings: 'Pa-ak-jil'

While the arms race for power and levels continues, we have officially seen the first two players break the level 107 barrier. First up is 'Pa-ak-jil' from the Yunseul 2 server. With a relentless grind for faction points and experience, Pa-ak-jil holds the number one spot at level 107 (62.7%). To put that into perspective, Pa-ak-jil has managed to climb 85% in experience over the last month alone—a staggering feat.

Pa-ak-jil isn't just about the levels, either. The combat power has seen a massive surge, jumping by 6,252 points last week to reach 168,081. This puts Pa-ak-jil 253 points ahead of the runner-up, 'Ho-it-hyung'. Watching a top-tier player squeeze out such gains when every single point is a struggle is nothing short of impressive.

Speaking of Ho-it-hyung, they remain the one to watch. Having increased their experience ratio by 85.4% over the last month, Ho-it-hyung is firmly holding the second spot in the overall level rankings. Given the faction points both players are raking in, it is clear that Pa-ak-jil and Ho-it-hyung are effectively neck-and-neck. Expect a brutal tug-of-war for that top spot in the coming weeks.

The field of level 106 achievers has also expanded to 13 players. This includes 'Black-daejang' and 'Black-gidu' from the Irae 3 server, 'Michinja' from Yunseul 1, 'Lee-daepyo' from Aramunhaesla 1, 'KingSmaN' from Aramunhaesla 2, 'Nunbadong-gonchung-kkeopjil', 'Aramsup-gonchung-kkeopjil', and 'Hadasup-gonchung-kkeopjil' from their respective servers, alongside 'Daesama' from Irae 2, 'Heukgisado' from Mihaje 3, 'Bbangsama' and 'Kosama' from Irae 1, and finally 'Gakseong-nika' from Inaisingi 1. These are the heavy hitters of the community, and their leveling speed remains blistering.

To be fair, there are no special perks for hitting levels beyond 100. However, the impact of level gaps—specifically regarding damage mitigation and hit accuracy—is massive. For the elite, these stats are everything. Furthermore, taking down the current final boss, the 4th Corps Commander 'Schweck', requires a high level to even stand a chance. This necessity is exactly what is fueling the current obsession with leveling.

What about the server average combat power?

Taking a look at the server averages, there hasn't been much movement this week. Most servers saw a modest increase of around 1,000 points, keeping the hierarchy relatively stable. The standout performer was Tagon 1, which surged by 2,906 points. As a global server, it clearly has more room for growth, allowing for these significant leaps in average power.

How did the faction point rankings shake out this week?

Last week was a chaotic affair, marked by the elections for the Supreme Faction Leader and the Lawless King. Emerging from the fray, 'Ho-it-hyung' from Isodeunyeong 2 claimed the top spot with 5,600,010,000 points. Following behind are 'Pa-ak-jil' from Yunseul 2 with 5,216,300,000, 'Black-daejang' from Irae 3 with 3,931,430,000, and 'Aramsup-gonchung-kkeopjil' from Yunseul 2 with 3,546,090,000 points.

What about class distribution among the rankers?

Let’s shift gears to class popularity. Among the top 100 players, the Warrior leads with 27%, followed by Stormcaller at 23%, Priest at 19%, Twin Sword at 12%, Archer at 11%, and Fighter at 8%. When we widen the net to the top 500 players (those with 91,394+ combat power), the picture shifts slightly: Stormcaller takes the lead at 26.6%, followed by Priest (23.2%), Twin Sword (13.8%), Warrior (13.0%), Archer (11.2%), Fighter (9.4%), and Dangri at 2.8%.

How are the alliance rankings looking?

Moving on to alliance scores, the race is tight. Since the reset of alliance fame points in July, 'AceX' had briefly lost the top spot, but they have reclaimed it this week. The gap between them and the runner-up is a mere 41,040,000 points, with 'AceT' sitting comfortably in third. It looks like a three-way brawl for dominance is set to continue.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

Last week, we asked: 'What are you most excited about in the August update roadmap?' The new party dungeon, 'Temple of Scarlet Flame', took a resounding 78.57% of the vote. Players who have already dived into the content shared feedback like, "The new mechanics and dungeon structure were incredibly refreshing," "I really wish they'd stop including Fire Feathers in the bonus rewards," and "Please keep bringing us these unique dungeon designs!"

Now, for this week's poll. With the 'Temple of Scarlet Flame' arrival, we are also running a double-mileage event for party dungeons, leaving many players with a surplus of points. The big question is: with that mileage burning a hole in your pocket, what should you actually buy in the shop? Let us know what you recommend, and we’ll share the results next week.
