The Raven 2 Meca Ranking charts for October are feeling rather static. Following the late September regional updates and the prolonged Chuseok holidays, we’ve had quite a long stretch since the last class change ticket sale. Frankly, I find it hard to imagine any meaningful shifts in ranker distribution or leaderboard positions during this lull.

The real stage for competition has shifted toward Guild Dungeons, Ancient Citadels, and the Tower of Chaos. The data gathered by the Raven 2 KookminTree shows far more dynamic activity in these areas. Plus, the fourth week of October brought us the new Legion content, the Battle for Territory. It seems the players are currently prioritizing steady growth and adjustment over the whims of class swapping.

I suspect the stagnation in ranker share will break around November. With the Gunslinger class update on the horizon, it’s highly probable we’ll see class change tickets hitting the shop again. Historically, the arrival of a new class has always shaken up the charts—perhaps this October stillness is merely the calm before the storm.

General Class Analysis

Looking at the overall class distribution, the rivalry between the 5th and 7th positions has finally cooled off, leaving the rankings firmly set. The Destroyer, having fought hard to climb to 4th, has slipped back down to 7th. On the bright side, the margin with the 6th-placed Vanguard is razor-thin, so a comeback is certainly on the cards.

At the very top, the Night Ranger’s share dipped by 0.3 percentage points, while the Divine Caster fell by 0.1. This has brought the two within 3.7 percentage points of each other. The Night Ranger’s crown is under genuine threat. Since we’ve already seen a change of leadership in the Global Legion, it’ll be fascinating to see if the Korean servers follow suit.

Global Class Analysis

In the Raven 2 Global Legion, the showdown between the Destroyer and the Elementalist has reached its conclusion. With their market shares diverging, the Destroyer has climbed to 6th place. We’ve seen them trade blows and drift apart repeatedly, but now the hierarchy looks set in stone. I wonder which classes will spark the next great rivalry.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

In the Guild Dungeon category, we’ve seen a name change at the 6th spot: Myth Club has rebranded as Myth Red, though the guild master remains MythFRED. The real race for record times is happening below the 13th position. Anything higher than that remains largely unchanged, suggesting the top guilds have reached the absolute ceiling of what's possible.

That said, FARMERS and Hi clearing the 5th stage of the Guild Dungeon is worth a mention. This performance vaulted FARMERS from 16th to 13th, while Hi surged from outside the Top 20 straight into 17th. Meanwhile, Rookie in 18th place managed to shave a staggering 2 minutes and 1 second off their previous record.

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

Raven 2 has teased a Guild Championship set in the new Battle for Territory. Given that the first tournament was such a grand affair, the anticipation for the next one is palpable. We asked you what you’re most looking forward to, and the desire for it to be a massive festival secured second place.

The 1st and 3rd place responses also relate to the inaugural Guild Championship. The former highlights the frustration of many who couldn't watch the matches live, while the latter reflects a desire to see more engaging activities from participating guilds—much like the charitable contributions we saw during the first tournament. Let’s hope all these wishes come to fruition.

For this week’s poll, let’s gaze into the distant future. Raven 2 has traditionally released official videos ahead of the first and second halves of the year to outline content schedules. What information are you hoping to glean from the 2026 first-half roadmap? Cast your vote, and I’ll share the results next time.
