Welcome back to the Blade & Soul Revolution Meca Ranking. Now that Mythic-grade relic blueprints are available via the spinner, we’re seeing a surge of high-ranking players diving into upgrades. While this surely signals a boost in average combat power growth, the charts remain surprisingly static this week. Truth be told, an upgrade is just the beginning—you still need to polish your blessings, enhancements, and refinements to see any real results. I’d suggest hoarding those materials before jumping in. Let’s dive into the class-by-class combat power shifts and the weekly metrics.

Perhaps it’s the developer’s note teasing a new class launch in November, but the class distribution has effectively frozen. While the Gunner and Archer populations fluctuate, it’s mostly just noise. It seems the player base is collectively holding their breath, waiting for the new arrival before committing to a class change.

Blade & Soul Revolution has a history of offering 'Free Class Change Tickets' to ease the transition whenever a new class drops. With that safety net in mind, players are opting to stay put, leading to this remarkably quiet period.

Combat power trends are following a similar lull. While the long-term trend remains firmly upward, the current momentum has hit a wall. Still, with more players actively upgrading their Mythic relics, the floor is solid. Expect a significant spike in these figures sooner rather than later.

Boosting Server 'Maehwa Sword Saint · Hwasan Divine Dragon' Attack Power Ranking and Class Preference

Over on the boosting worlds, we’ve spotted rankers reaching the final stretch of the 1+2 level-up bonus. On the day of calculation, two players—starting with 'Rabbit Year'—hit level 81 on Maehwa Sword Saint, while Hwasan Divine Dragon peaked at 78. By now, the level 81 club has likely grown. Even without the 1+2 bonus, these servers offer enough XP perks to outpace the legacy servers in leveling speed.

Class trends in the mid-tier are starting to diverge. While Gunners and Warlocks dominate the top, the flavor changes: Maehwa Sword Saint leans toward Cannoneers, Blade Masters, and Soul Fighters, while Hwasan Divine Dragon prefers Miho Blade Masters, Archers, and Twin Sword users. Beyond the top two, the overlap is slim, though looking beyond the top ranks, the preferences are quite similar. Archers and Twin Sword users on Maehwa Sword Saint, and Cannoneers and Soul Fighters on Hwasan Divine Dragon, are all hovering in the 5-6% range.

Mythic Guardian Spirit special option statistics

The Mythic Guardian Spirit chart is in flux. While the Great Sage remains immovable at the top, the tug-of-war between the Earth King and the Holy Flame Bird is intensifying. Having traded places for three consecutive weeks, the Holy Flame Bird is the likely successor for the top spot next week. It’s reminiscent of the old 'Admiral Eun Gwang-il vs. Awakened Poharan' rivalry. It’s more of a shifting meta-preference than a fundamental power creep, so don't lose sleep over it.

This jockeying for position has caused some volatility in special options. 'Intense Galaxy' has taken a significant hit, yet it clings to the lead. Meanwhile, 'Life,' 'Harsh,' and 'Sun' are gaining ground. No one is threatening the throne yet, but the gap in secondary options is narrowing. If this continues for another two weeks, we’ll have a real story on our hands.

Guardian Spirit combination statistics based on leaders

In contrast to the chaotic Guardian Spirits, the Ancient-grade Guardian Spirits are behaving themselves. Aside from the Great King Hong Seok-geun dropping to 3rd place, everything is status quo. Most have seen slight dips, but at a negligible 1-3% point margin.

We’re seeing Regent Jess pop up in more combinations. Already a sub for Awakened Erna, she’s now making an appearance as the fourth slot for the top-ranked Admiral Eun Gwang-il. At a 3% usage rate, it’s a niche pick, but with no real competition, her footprint is bound to grow. If aggressive setups continue to dictate the battlefield meta, expect her influence to accelerate.

Ranker Setup of the Week

Top overall Swordmaster by attack power: 'Kanji'

If you’re looking for a 'recent' class that’s become a rare sight, the Swordmaster is your poster child. Last week, it sat at the bottom with a 0.6% share, and this week it’s barely clinging to 17th place with 1.2%. Once the most popular class in the Revolution Challenge, a series of nerfs and an unfavorable meta have cooled its jets. Still, let’s take a peek at how 'Kanji' is making it work in the Yua-dokjon server.

The first thing that pops is the Mythic relic. Having finished the 'True Moon Spirit' upgrade, they are currently pushing for higher awakening and enhancement levels. Since it’s a tier up, the refinement stats are naturally superior to Ancient grades. They haven't hit the full U-grade set yet, so it’s a work in progress. Expect more to come once the set is complete.

The Skill Badge setup is a textbook Swordmaster build. They’ve gone all-in on Heavenly Demon, Advance, True Hyun, and Repair, while stacking Iron Blood and Spiral to maximize attack efficiency. The Skill Badge refinements are locked in with 'Thunder Soul Slash,' 'Dragon Coil Strike,' and 'Moonlight Sever.'

Blade & Soul Revolution User Poll

Expectation is sky-high for the new class. When asked what they’re most excited about, 78.3% voted for 'Performance.' It seems the players are desperate for a new class that can finally break the Warlock-dominated battlefield meta. 'Fun' came in second at 15.2%, followed by 'Appearance' at 6.5%.

For our next poll, let’s talk Mythic relics. With the spinner making these items more accessible, I’m curious: which of the three—Soul, Star, or Spirit—are you upgrading first? Let us know, and check back next week for the results. Best of luck out there.
