Here are the results from the 37th Ancient Citadel in Raven 2. It is quite fascinating to see how the top-tier battlegrounds—Primordial and Elemental—shook out. Lux, Kerum, Terra, and Solar split the spoils, while Nox, Vita, and Mare claimed their victories in the lower-tier arenas. Given the current matchmaking logic for the Ancient Citadel, it is safe to assume that the heavy hitters have congregated in those first four worlds. Specifically, Kerum, Terra, and Solar deserve a nod; they managed to secure two wins each within the same battleground in a single round.

The dominance of Kerum, Terra, and Solar didn't stop at the top tier. They each grabbed an extra win in the Battlefield of Life and also tasted victory in the Vegetation field. By stacking two wins each, Kerum and Terra finished the 37th round with seven wins apiece. Looking at the broader picture, it becomes painfully obvious why Nox, Vita, and Mare were relegated to the lower tiers; they were simply matched against the titans who ruled the top-tier battlegrounds.

On a side note, it seems that the number of 'consecutive win' guilds on the chart is dwindling. In Solar, only RoyalDaNaeKkeo and MythRed hold three or more wins. That said, the two-win club is still relatively healthy, and Kings, a powerhouse in the Elemental battlefield, continues to add to their multi-victory tally by planting their flag in a new arena this time around.

Ancient Citadel Victory Ranking

The overall victory leaderboard remains largely unchanged in terms of positions. However, the top-ranked RoyalDaNaeKkeo, second-placed Kings, and fifth-placed MythRed have all updated their personal records. While RoyalDaNaeKkeo is already sitting comfortably at the summit, the others are still on a steady climb. The main takeaway from this Raven 2 Ancient Citadel cycle? It’s all about the 'differentiation' in performance.

Kings has jumped to an overall record of '12 / 1 / 2 / 0' thanks to their win in the Elemental battlefield, gradually distancing themselves from the legacy left by BuckCoin. Meanwhile, MythRed is closing the gap with DaNaeKkeo. Just one more win and they will be hot on their heels—a victory in the Vegetation battlefield would bring them to a tie for 8th place, or a win elsewhere would push them up a rank on their own. It is an impressively methodical climb.

Ancient Citadel Content Analysis

Let’s take a brief look back at the 37th Ancient Citadel bracket. Since the Gunslinger update last November, Raven 2 has refined its entry rules. The criteria now factor in the combined combat power and the number of guild members, which has fundamentally shifted the matchmaking atmosphere.

Recent matches have followed a predictable pattern. The Primordial battleground sees relatively low participation, while the lower tiers—such as the Vegetation field—show a classic hourglass or pyramid structure. While groups 3 and 5 show higher activity in the Primordial tier, they still don't stray far from that hourglass shape. It seems the gulf in combat power or headcount between top-tier guilds has either widened, or they are strategically choosing which battleground to enter to avoid unfavorable odds.

PVP Ranking Status

Finally, let's look at the Raven 2 PVP rankings. Last week, the Lux-Fides server was a total warzone. Seventeen of the top 20 players hail from this specific server, boasting exceptionally high KDA ratios. Even if their kill counts were modest, their assist numbers were staggering. Take the 19th-ranked Yasuo, for instance; who cares if they only had 8 kills when they racked up 41 assists? Other notable mentions, though absent from the main chart, include RiHyun with 5 kills and 26 assists, and BunHongCoffee with 6 kills and 30 assists. Outside the top 20, a player named GuraGaSimHanDe managed 16 kills. It is a pity the scope wasn't just a bit wider; they would have surely left their mark on the PVP leaderboard.

The Lux-Fides PVP rankings were clearly dominated by the Oops and AmaChuweo guilds. It is fairly obvious these two were locked in a massive conflict or intense rivalry. Looking at the overall stats, Oops seems to have the upper hand in terms of KDA and the sheer number of ranked players. A few outliers from the Haru guild also made an appearance, though I'm left wondering what exactly they were up to in the heat of the action.
