Isodnyeong vs. Mihaje & Siaru: Who sits at the top?

The spotlight this week is firmly on the Isodnyeong group. They have always been a force to be reckoned with, boasting the server's number one ranked player, 'Doduk'. However, they previously lacked depth in their mid-to-high rankers. That changed last August when the Daehan, Minguk, and Manse alliance migrated to Server 1, plugging those gaps and creating a much more balanced power structure.

Isodnyeong has now declared war on the Black Night Archipelago, targeting Siaru and Mihaje. In a predictable turn of events, the latter two have forged a coalition to hold the line. Mihaje, in particular, has seen a surge of new arrivals, solidifying a 1-3 server alliance led by 'Heukgisado'. They have been making significant headway in the integrated fields.

Siaru entered the cross-server matchmaking fray in August. This influx of neutral rankers from various servers sparked fierce competition for field bosses and total faction leadership. Ultimately, the 'NeutralButWillHitYou' and 'Ganadaramabasanyoung' alliance emerged as the dominant force in Siaru Server 1.

Yet, even combined, the Mihaje and Siaru coalition struggles to match Isodnyeong’s sheer weight. Isodnyeong holds the edge in both average combat power and total numbers, meaning they are likely to dictate the pace of field hunting and the Black Night Archipelago. But don't count the underdogs out just yet—this is far from decided.

Looking at the elite, Isodnyeong fields Storm Mage 'Doduk' (176,331 CP), Fighter 'Gangwon Baekho' (152,461 CP), Dual Sword 'Teheran Yeomra' (148,295 CP), Archer 'Gyeryongsan Chorong-i' (144,838 CP), and Warrior 'Dongtan Kkulbeokji' (143,375 CP). Meanwhile, the Mihaje & Siaru alliance counters with Warrior 'Heukgisado' (160,804 CP), Warrior 'Hwangjini' (142,082 CP), Holy Knight 'NeutralButIdaFam' (141,181 CP), Warrior 'Juripong' (132,896 CP), and Fighter 'Yongchelyeok' (131,513 CP).
