Welcome, everyone, to another instalment of Meca Ranking for Arthdal Chronicles. It’s been a taxing week—quite literally, with tax collection rights on the line—and the competition for island points across all servers has been nothing short of a bloodbath. Specifically, the Yunseul server has been turned into a furnace thanks to an ongoing civil war at Black Night Island. Curious about how it all shook out? KookminTree has done the legwork to bring you the full breakdown.

A Tight Squeeze: The Yunseul Island Point Rivalry

The Yunseul server is still reeling from the fallout of the February server transfers, which effectively turned the region into a war zone. This week’s battle for tax rights saw the local 'Akjil' alliance clashing with the invading 'First' alliance. When the dust settled, it was First’s Divine Knight 'Cheonhacheongeom' who sat atop the throne for the second consecutive time, racking up a staggering 27.3 billion points.

Following closely behind, Akjil’s Divine Knight 'Okswadance' took second place with 21.7 billion, and fellow alliance member Divine Knight 'Michinja' claimed third with 20 billion. First alliance's Priest 'L-Representative' secured fourth with 18.1 billion, followed by their ally 'Ttongpanjuddakkomi' in fifth at 16.4 billion, and Storm Caster 'Gisado' in sixth with 15.9 billion. Word on the street is that the top 10 rankers haven't slept, spending every waking moment grinding and warring on Black Night Island to keep their scores afloat.

Looking at the final tally, the top 10 is split between four from the First alliance and six from Akjil. In terms of the tax split, First walked away with 61% while Akjil took 39%, a marked improvement for the invaders compared to their last outing. Hats off to both alliances for a genuinely spirited scrap.

What about the global island point rankings?

Moving to the global stage, the Ibna server’s Fighter 'Hoiti' continues to dominate, holding onto the top spot with a massive 33.9 billion points. Given that the Ibna server is currently locked in a brutal stalemate between the Inaisinki and Chusando alliances, maintaining such a score is frankly absurd. Bravo.

Rounding out the top tier, Yunseul’s Cheonhacheongeom sits in second, followed by Namdalsan server’s Fighter 'Weijia' in third with 27 billion, Saya’s Fighter 'Transcendence' in fourth with 26.1 billion, and Chusando’s Fighter 'Mario' in fifth with 24.8 billion. With Fighters monopolising the top spots, it’s clear that their farming efficiency on Black Night Island is currently second to none.

How do the global combat power rankings look?

Combat power rankings have remained largely stagnant. We aren't expecting any major shifts until the big March update lands. However, two names are worth noting: Saya’s Fighter 'Transcendence' and Yunseul’s 'Ttongpanjuddakkomi', who boosted their power by 2,328 and 2,307 respectively. That’s two weeks of solid growth—definitely ones to watch.

And the average server combat power?

Looking at the server averages, there’s little movement to report. Most servers have seen a modest 1,000–2,000 point bump. The outlier is Momo, which saw a surge of 2,393 points. It seems their status as an 'safe server' allowed them to bring in fresh blood, boosting their overall efficiency.

What about the class distribution among rankers?

Let’s look at the class meta. Among the top 100, Divine Knights and Archers hold 17% each, followed by Fighters and Storm Casters at 15%, Priests at 12%, Dangris and Warriors at 10%, and Dual Swords at 4%. If you look further down the ladder to the 101–500 bracket, the meta shifts drastically: Storm Casters take a massive 31.5%, Priests follow at 23.3%, and Archers hold 18.8%.

What’s the state of the alliance rankings?

In the global alliance stakes, Ibna’s 'Cheongryong' alliance remains the titan to beat with 109.5 billion points. Yunseul’s Akjil alliance sits in second with 79.8 billion, and Chusando’s 'In-geo' alliance rounds out the top three with 74.1 billion.

Arthdal Chronicles user poll

Last week, we asked: 'If the Masters League returned, how should it work?' A plurality of 44.44% voted for a seasonal system every 3–4 months. 27.78% wanted a monthly schedule, while 22.22% suggested binning the idea entirely, and only 5.56% wanted a weekly grind.

Now for this week’s topic: Netmarble’s February update gave life content a much-needed polish, condensing materials and cutting out the tedious travel time to merchants and campfires. How are you finding these quality-of-life changes? Let us know in the poll, and we’ll share the results next week.
