It is time for the Blade & Soul Revolution Meca Ranking. With the chaotic updates and server transfers finally behind us, we have enjoyed a remarkably quiet week. Now, everyone is simply waiting for the next update and the upcoming class balance adjustments in March. Perhaps it is because of this anticipation that the Meca Ranking class charts remain undisturbed, patiently waiting for the next shift.

The popular class 'Warden' continues its reign at the top, inching up 0.4% points and nearing the 30% mark. The 'Gunner' and 'Archer' in second and third place have maintained their positions without gaining or losing much ground. It is highly likely we will head into the next update without any significant ratio changes.

The competitive mid-tier battle has also settled down. The order remains 'Warden, Warlock, Qi Master, Cannonier, Blade Master,' with ratios barely shifting. The only outlier is the Blade Master, which saw a 1% point decline. This is even more evident in the combat power fluctuation table, showing a drop of 8 in attack and 5 in defense. Given that their overall combat power is slightly lower than the average, this is a metric worth keeping an eye on.

New Server 'Unsu Daetong' Level/Attack Ranking and Class Preference

We have reached the point where level 86 Hongmun rankers have emerged on the Unsu Daetong server. 'Fate' from the Honcheon Faction and 'Simple' from the Murim Alliance have both hit level 86 Hongmun. Since the ranking page prioritizes experience points, 'Fate,' who has held the top spot for two consecutive weeks, appears to be slightly ahead.

The combat power rankings mirror the level charts. Looking at the attack power list, 'Fate' has surpassed a massive 5.25 million to take the lead, with 'Simple' chasing closely behind by a margin of only 20,000. Meanwhile, 'Akdong-i' holds onto the third spot, just as in the level rankings. With both metrics aligning, it seems the hierarchy is beginning to solidify.

Mythic Grade Guardian Spirit Special Option Statistics

The Mythic Guardian Spirit chart, which was volatile immediately after the server transfer, is moving in an unexpected direction. Usually, post-transfer, PvE content usage spikes, causing related guardian spirits to rebound. We saw this in the previous chart, and the trend has persisted for another week. The PvE staple 'Torim King' rose by another 2% points, while the PvP favorite 'Monkey King' dropped by 6% points. While the rankings haven't flipped, the gap between the two has narrowed significantly.

This suggests that the content preferences of our top rankers might be shifting. Perhaps, during this unusually quiet season, players are focusing more on dungeons and raids. It is a shift in data that implies more players are heading out for group dungeon runs rather than engaging in fierce PvP combat.

Guardian Deity Leader Combination Statistics

The Ancient grade Guardian Deity chart is also showing unusual movement. 'Jinsoyun,' a PvE representative, has gained more ground, and 'Awakened Poharan' has successfully reclaimed the top spot. By taking advantage of 'Admiral Eun Gwang-il's' continuous decline, she has managed to capture an additional 6% of the share.

This change is also heavily influenced by the strength of PvE content. While the Admiral Eun Gwang-il combination was strictly for PvP, the Awakened Poharan combination is versatile enough for both. It boasts effective PvP options while maintaining enough utility for dungeons and raids. Predicting how long this trend will hold is difficult, but if the numbers flip again, the upcoming update will likely be the turning point.

This Week's Ranker Setting

Total Warlock Attack Power #1 'Dyo-o'

Dyo-o, who ranked 3rd in the integrated Blade & Soul Revolution server attack power rankings, was a Cannonier at the time of data collection. Shortly after, we discovered a class change to Warlock during our ranker setting survey. We took this opportunity to compare how the gear changed following the switch.

Given the high level of gear upgrades—from enhancement and awakening to refining and blessing—there weren't drastic changes. The accessories, artifacts, and weapons were kept intact, as were the refinement options. The setting prioritizes balance, focusing on penetration, critical damage reduction, and defense. In short, the attack is bolstered by penetration, but the overall build leans towards survivability.

Changing classes inevitably leads to the biggest differences in Martial Tome settings. Since the transition was from Cannonier to Warlock—both sharing similar positioning—the long-range playstyle remains. 'Pacheon' Martial Tomes boost long-range damage, while a combination of 'Cheonma/Advance' and 'Jinhyun/Repair' enhances the output of 'Flames of the Void' and increases the skill rotation for the 'Flames of the Void/Black Tortoise' line. While the Martial Tome refinement isn't fully perfected yet, they are currently running 'Jin-Flames of the Void/Black Tortoise/Flames of the Void,' which is worth noting.

Blade & Soul Revolution User Poll

Our previous poll surveyed the preference for the 'NEW Login Gift Package,' which received an upgrade in contents. We were curious which of the lunch or dinner packages, featuring slightly different core items, captured the hearts of our Blade & Soul Revolution players. The result? An overwhelming win for the Lunch package, which offers 500 'Fixed Refinement Stones.' It secured 92.3% of the votes, leaving the dinner package in the dust. Perhaps we should see more refinement stones in future rewards.

The next poll will look at the average growth level of your Baekmong. Most of you have likely seen yours hatch from its egg by now. Given its cute appearance and the solid rewards, many players have been pouring their efforts into raising their Baekmong every day. We want to check the current average level, regardless of the stage you chose. Please note that this will be a text-input style poll rather than a multiple-choice one. We look forward to your participation, and the results will be revealed in next week's Meca Ranking.
