Welcome back to Match of the Week, our regular column where we dive into the shifting power dynamics of the integrated battlefields in Arthdal Chronicles. Following the latest server transfers, the landscape has been reshaped, and the first major collision is set to take place at the Island of Black Night. Word on the street is that the Isodunyeong and Aramunhaesla groups are about to clash. So, how do their top-tier ranks stack up? Let’s dig into the details.

※ Top rankers are based on the highest figures recorded between the 1st and the 4th.

Isodunyeong vs Aramunhaesla: Who will claim the island?

The recent server migration triggered an absolute shake-up across all groups, but Isodunyeong is the clear standout. A host of top-tier players from the Cold-blooded alliance (Dara-buru 1), Passionate alliance (Airuz 3), and Awakening alliance (Inai-singi 1) have converged on Isodunyeong 1. They have rebranded as the Daehan, Minguk, and Manse alliances, forming a pact with the existing Dooly alliance from Isodunyeong 2.

Historically, Isodunyeong relied heavily on the legendary player 'Hoithyeong', who consistently ranks among the top in the entire game. The problem? The mid-tier support was lacking, making it difficult to control contested areas like the Frosty Cliff or the bosses at the Island of Black Night. With this new influx of heavy-hitter rankers, those weaknesses have been effectively patched out.

Notable arrivals include 'Gangwon Baekho' (Black Gidu), 'Teheran Yeomra' (Cold-blooded Leader), 'Dongtan Honey-Thighs' (Passionate Dadda), 'Gyeryongsan Chorongi' (Awakening Nika), 'Dongtan Misi-look' (Passionate Dark), 'Ingyedong Chairman' (Awakening Sikhi), and 'Cheongju Mongryong' (Passionate Yeopo). If this alliance holds, arguably only the Yunseul group remains as a credible threat to Isodunyeong.

In a bit of ironic trivia, the Passionate, Cold-blooded, and Awakening alliances used to fight together under the Aramunhaesla 1 banner. Now, they find themselves on the opposing side, proving that in this game, yesterday’s allies are today’s bitter rivals.

Aramunhaesla hasn’t been sitting idle, however, as they’ve bolstered their own roster. The most significant addition is the server’s 3rd-ranked player, 'Dokki Daejang' (Black Leader), who joined Aramunhaesla 2. Furthermore, 'KingSmaN' and 'FlowerQueen' have significantly increased their power levels following the latest update, cementing their spots at the top of the leaderboards.

Despite the reinforcements, the momentum seems to sit firmly with Isodunyeong. They boast not only superior average power but now a sheer numerical advantage as well. That said, Aramunhaesla isn't throwing in the towel just yet. With the new 'Suspicious Golden Box' event and constant skirmishes breaking out across the Island of Black Night, the race for the boss loot is heating up. Who will claim victory today? We shall see.

A quick look at the top-tier powerhouses: Isodunyeong’s lineup includes the Storm Caller 'Hoithyeong' (172,081 CP), Archer 'Gangwon Baekho' (154,802 CP), Twin-Blade 'Teheran Yeomra' (144,705 CP), Warrior 'Dongtan Honey-Thighs' (139,737 CP), and Archer 'Gyeryongsan Chorongi' (139,728 CP). Representing Aramunhaesla are the Fighter 'Dokki Daejang' (161,276 CP), Archer 'KingSmaN' (155,000 CP), Priest 'FlowerQueen' (143,120 CP), Archer 'Kkomahyeong' (142,928 CP), and Twin-Blade 'Cheonhacheongyeom' (142,561 CP).
