Hello, everyone. Welcome to another edition of the [Meca Ranking] for Arthdal Chronicles. Following the massive February update, we have seen quite a stir among the top-tier players' combat power. While the elite are pushing limits, the mid-tier landscape has shifted in a rather intriguing way. So, just how much has the average combat power climbed over the last month? And which players are currently making waves? KookminTree has been busy crunching the numbers.

Top-tier Combat Power Nearing the 180,000 Milestone

The February update brought us streamlined lifestyle content, fresh costumes, and a series of new events—all of which have clearly spurred a rise in combat power. Looking at the hard data, the average combat power for the top 100 players jumped from 172,925 to 178,387, an increase of 5,462. If we cast our net wider to the 101-500 bracket, we see an increase from 130,159 to 133,282, a gain of 3,123.

Among those making a name for themselves, the most notable is 'BlackChowol', who recently joined the Yunseul server from the global Saya server. Over the past month, they have boosted their combat power by a staggering 7,774, securing a spot in the top 10 across all servers. It is worth noting that BlackChowol switched from Storm Mage to Warrior during the January class change event, a move that clearly paid off by allowing for more efficient grinding in the 5th Archipelago.

Next on our radar is 'KimGilli' from the Mihaje server. This player managed to inflate their combat power by a massive 13,022 in just one month—an unmatched figure among all top-tier players currently tracked. As a member of the National Representative Alliance, KimGilli has dominated the Mihaje server and continues to be a force of nature in integrated content.

We also have 'BlackHyeoni', an Archer from the Yunseul server. Showing significant grit, they boosted their combat power by 11,168 over the last month, vaulting past veteran mid-to-high-tier players to claim 37th place globally. Since migrating from Airuz to Yunseul, they have been on an undeniable upward trajectory.

Beyond these standouts, other players have been busy sharpening their blades: Gisa-do (+4,479), CheonhaCheongeom (+3,684), L-Representative (+4,499), MichinDokkaebi (+6,045), Luigi (+4,561), 卐AhCheon卍 (+4,423), MichinSangdu (+6,240), DdongBbanJjuDdaGgom (+7,738), and Jijeokjil (+4,931) have all climbed the ranks. It seems everyone, from the elite to the mid-tier, is desperate to beef up their stats in anticipation of the upcoming Geomeuldunseong siege.

What About Global Average Combat Power?

Let us shift our focus to the global average combat power rankings. There have been no major shake-ups this week, with most servers maintaining their relative positions as average combat power increased by roughly 2,000 points across the board. The servers to watch, however, are Yunseul and Ibna, which saw increases of 2,502 and 2,541 respectively, housing a high concentration of top-tier talent.

This Week's Archipelago Score Ranking?

Since last week was not a tax collection period, the competition for Archipelago scores was somewhat less frantic than usual. Consequently, 'Hoiti' from the Ibna server topped the global rankings with 36.88 billion points. We have seen many top players moving to hunt in the 5th Archipelago (Black Night), frequently switching to Holy Knight or Warrior to maximize their efficiency and score.

Class Distribution Among Top Rankers?

Now, let’s look at the class distribution. Among the top 100 players, the lineup is: Warrior (23%), Archer (16%), Priest (15%), Storm Mage (13%), Holy Knight (12%), Danguri (9%), Fighter (8%), and Twin Swordsman (4%). Digging into the 101-500 bracket, the story changes: Storm Mage leads with 33.8%, followed by Priest (24%), Archer (19%), Danguri (6.3%), Warrior (5.5%), Fighter (4.5%), Twin Swordsman (3.5%), and Holy Knight (3.5%).

What About Global Alliance Score Rankings?

Finally, the global Alliance score rankings. The Ibna server's 'Cheongryong' Alliance retains its grip on the top spot with 157.2 billion reputation points. Following them are the 'First' Alliance from Yunseul (129.7 billion), the 'Devil' Alliance from AramunHaesla (120.8 billion), and the 'Eungeo' Alliance from Chusando (10.39 million).

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll
