The new server group, Karp, has officially joined the 'Vampir' Meca Ranking. While the rankers there haven't quite hit the maturity of those on the older servers, they have certainly stirred the pot. The real story here is the class distribution in Karp; Bloodstain has grabbed over 50% of the share across all servers. Karp 3 is the pinnacle, boasting a staggering 66.7%. It would be no exaggeration to call this a Bloodstain-dominant server.

This is the inevitable result when current class sentiment meets the reality of a late-coming server. If a player is aiming for the top, it pays to pick the most popular or high-performance class. Currently, Bloodstain is widely considered the cream of the crop. Sure, the investment cost is steep, but for those chasing the top ranks, that is hardly an obstacle. Consequently, the trend heavily favors Bloodstain.

It is not just Karp, either; Bloodstain is showing strength across the entire board. Having enjoyed immense popularity at launch, the class has solidified its position by leveraging raw performance. As a result, it is putting up impressive numbers in both server-specific popularity and overall class distribution.

However, the nuance differs slightly between the two charts. While Bloodstain dominates the overall share, Carnage holds the edge on quite a few servers. Specifically, on Kizzia 1, Cain 3, and Milla 3, Carnage has left Bloodstain in the dust by a significant margin. In fact, on Kizzia 1, Bloodstain managed to scrape into 3rd place with only 16.7%. It is clear evidence that user preferences fluctuate from server to server. Looking to meet a true class expert? Perhaps a visit to one of those servers is in order.

Overall Class Distribution Analysis

The overall class distribution in Vampir has been heavily influenced by the Karp server update. As the pool of data expanded, the shares shifted, and as we noted, the number of Bloodstain rankers surged. Consequently, Bloodstain's share rose by 1.2 percentage points, pushing past the 40% mark.

The only real rival, Carnage, slipped to 30.1%, a drop of 0.4 percentage points. The gap between Carnage and Bloodstain has now widened to 10 percentage points. Despite receiving two buffs through balance adjustments, closing that distance seems to be a tall order. Additionally, Grim Reaper saw a share decline of 0.9 percentage points.

Viper, on the other hand, remains perfectly still, holding firm at 14.4%. One could argue that's a decent result, as it means no market share was lost. Furthermore, Viper posted a respectable 30% share on the Karp 1 server. With the gap to the 3rd-place Grim Reaper shrinking by 0.9 percentage points, a rank reversal might just be on the cards.

All-Server Clan Ranking

The experience growth among top Vampir clans is nothing short of terrifying. Last week, the top 20 clans sat between 9.85 million and 18.77 million in experience, but the peak has suddenly skyrocketed to 26.59 million. The floor has also surged to 14.57 million. It seems the clans are pushing their growth into overdrive in preparation for the first territorial battles on September 27th and 28th.

The top clan is 'Line-deul-ui-Line' from Kizzia 1. They appeared like a comet and claimed the throne. Second place goes to 'Cheongyeok' from Milla 1, which has accumulated 24.4 million experience. Last week's leader, 'Heup-hyeol-dan', has slipped to 3rd place with 20.54 million experience. While they are still growing, the pace has slowed, leading to their drop. Consistency is key for maintaining and climbing the ranks.

Vampir Meca Ranking User Poll

Here are the results of last week's poll: 'The most important factor when evaluating a skill.' We provided 9 options, including subjective inputs, and every single objective option received votes. Only 7 in the chart, you ask? Well, space was a bit tight. 'Useful buffs' tied for 7th place with 'Easy and fast to learn.'

The most supported factor was 'Low MP consumption.' Currently, many players feel that because it is difficult to increase natural MP recovery in Vampir, they cannot use skills as freely as they would like. Consequently, options like skill cooldown reduction are also viewed as difficult to utilize effectively. The current sentiment favors skills that place less of a burden on resources. Second place went to 'High damage output.'

Following those were 'Importance of AoE skills,' 'Fast attack speed,' and 'Must fit the class concept,' which tied for 3rd. This suggests that the values players prioritize vary significantly. In summary, the ideal skill seems to be one that maintains the class concept while efficiently clearing out monsters. Hopefully, the developers of Vampir will update such skills sooner rather than later.

Now, for the topic of our next poll. Vampir features a variety of dungeons, each specialized for farming specific items. If a new dungeon were to be added, what kind would you like to see? Let your voices be heard. We will announce the results next time.
