Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking] segment for Arthdal Chronicles. Since the outbreak of full-scale civil war on the Yunseul server, the arms race among top-tier players has reached a fever pitch. While the absolute elite are finding it harder to squeeze out marginal gains, the mid-tier pack is seeing a noticeable surge in power. KookminTree has crunched the numbers to see just how much the average combat power has shifted over the past month and who you should be keeping an eye on.

Yunseul Server Sees a Massive Spike in Average Combat Power

Following the January update—which brought faction rebalancing, new statue liberations, and class tweaks—the average power level for top-tier players has climbed. To put some hard figures on it, the average combat power for the top 100 players jumped from 165,279 to 172,925, an increase of 7,646 points. Looking at the broader bracket of players ranked 101 to 500, we saw an even more impressive leap from 124,019 to 130,159, a gain of 6,140.

The standout performer here is undoubtedly 'MadGoblin', a fighter currently caught in the thick of the Yunseul server conflict. They’ve managed to bolster their combat power by a staggering 7,744 points, landing them comfortably in 8th place globally. Interestingly, MadGoblin swapped from Archer to Fighter during the recent class change event—a strategic move likely aimed at faster farming in the Night of Black Islands.

Next up is 'Chivalry', a Stormbringer from the same server. They’ve added 4,584 points to their power, leaping over a sea of competitors to claim the number one spot globally. It’s truly a remarkable feat, considering that finding even 10 extra points of power at the top level is usually a grind.

Other notable risers include 'Cheonhacheongeom' (+2,462), 'OxAndDance' (+2,600), 'MadPerson' (+3,357), 'L-Representative' (+4,994), 'MadSangdu' (+5,509), 'SuperGolduck' (+5,465), 'Criticism' (+5,240), 'PoopPantsDdakkomi' (+7,245), and 'LittleBro' (+3,786). It’s clear that from the top dogs to the mid-tier contenders, everyone is pushing for more power to tilt the scales in this fierce civil war.

Outside of Yunseul, one name demands attention: 'Transcendence' from the Saya server. They added a massive 10,454 points in a single month—a figure that stands head and shoulders above any other top-tier player. This power has effectively handed them hegemony over the Saya server, and they’ve been a force to be reckoned with in cross-server content.

Then we have 'Deer', a Stormbringer on the Darcus server. They’ve showcased serious potential by boosting their power by 7,940, vaulting into 32nd place globally. Darcus is currently matched with Yunseul in the Night of Black Islands, so it’ll be fascinating to see how they perform in the coming skirmishes.

What about the average combat power across all servers?

Looking at the server-wide averages, things have remained relatively stable this week, with most servers seeing a modest bump of around 2,000 points. The standout is Yunseul, of course, with a 3,468 increase. It seems that when you cram all the top-tier players onto one server, the collective power stats are bound to inflate.

How about the Archipelago Score rankings this week?

Since last week wasn’t a tax collection cycle, the competition for Archipelago scores was somewhat subdued. Plus, with Yunseul’s top players distracted by internal warfare, their farming efficiency took a hit. As a result, 'Hoiti' from the peaceful Evna server took the top spot globally with 31.174 billion points. Since swapping to a Fighter, they’ve maintained impressive scores, leaving us wondering just how efficient the Fighter is for clearing the 5th Island.

What’s the class distribution among top players?

Let’s shift focus to class trends. Among the top 100 players globally, Holy Knight (17%) and Archer (17%) lead the pack, followed by Fighter (15%), Stormbringer (14%), Priest (13%), Dangri (10%), Warrior (10%), and Twin Sword (4%). However, looking at the mid-tier (ranks 101-500), the meta shifts: Stormbringer dominates at 31.5%, followed by Priest (22.8%) and Archer (19%).

What about the Alliance Score rankings?

Checking in on the Alliance scores, the 'Blue Dragon' alliance from Evna continues its reign at number one with 96.89096 billion reputation points. 'Evil' alliance from Yunseul holds second with 66.64258 billion, and the 'Eun-geo' alliance from Chusando rounds out the top three with 64.70617 billion.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

Regarding last week’s poll, 'Which Lunar New Year Item Shop product do you recommend most?', the '+7 Taego Accessory Selection Box' took the win with 59.09% of the vote. We’ve seen plenty of reports of players hitting +9 enhancements using the Shiny Taego Enhancement Stones available at the Alchemy Tree shop.

For this week’s poll, it’s been a month since the Night of Black Islands Masters League concluded. Some players have suggested that the match-making system was so well-received it should become a recurring event. How do you feel about the Masters League format? Cast your vote, and we’ll reveal the results next week.
