Welcome to another B&S Revolution Meca Ranking. It’s no secret that melee classes have been languishing in the doldrums for quite some time. The dominance of the 'Bidosulsa' and the resurgence of the 'Gunner' following some balance tweaks have effectively pushed them out of the spotlight. Throw in the consistently high performance of the 'Archer', and you have a trifecta of ranged classes locking down the top three spots in our ranker distribution charts.

However, for the first time in a while, the ranged dominance has hit a snag. The Bidosulsa saw a 0.8% point drop, the Archer slipped by 1.5%, and the Gunner plummeted by a staggering 3% points. With no major updates or specific class issues to speak of, the downward trend is quite interesting. Naturally, nature abhors a vacuum; classes like 'Warden, Soul Fighter, Warlock, and Blade Master' saw gains ranging from 0.3% to 1%. It seems the melee classes are finally clawing their way back.

To dismiss this as mere statistical noise would be naive. We’ve noticed a significant shift in the class choices among the top-tier combat power bracket. It’s highly likely that many players have proactively swapped classes, perhaps hedging their bets in anticipation of upcoming balance changes.

New Server 'Unsu Daetong' Level/Attack Power Rankings and Class Preferences

The peak Hongmoon level in the Unsu Daetong server has crept up by just one level over the past two weeks, signalling a slowdown in growth. Five rankers have hit level 87, and the battle for the top spot remains a thrill. The rivalry between the Honcheon Gang's 'Bulbada' and their guildmate 'Fate' continues, with the lead changing for three consecutive weeks. They clearly aren't letting up.

The attack power charts remain volatile as players diversify their activities. No one has breached the 5 million mark this week, but the Gunner 'Ppaikong' has claimed the top spot, breaking through to 4.91 million. The gap between the leaders and the chasing pack remains substantial.

Mythic Grade Guardian Spirit Special Option Statistics

Stability has returned to the Mythic Guardian Spirit charts. Aside from 'Cheonbingho' replacing the 5th spot, the rest of the roster is static. Even with minor 1% fluctuations for 'Torimwang' and 'Dueoksini', the overall ratios remain stubbornly consistent.

The reigning champion remains 'Intense Eunha Jecheon Daeseong [Extreme]'. Given its popularity, it’s no surprise that 'Intense' and 'Eunha' options are dominating the charts. For those curious about PvE preferences, 'Torimwang' remains the go-to, with 'Harsh Sun' being the overwhelming choice. The newcomer 'Cheonbingho' is currently popular with the 'Joyful' option. As for the secondary special options, the data suggests it's a bit of a free-for-all.

Guardian Spirit Leader Combination Statistics

The Guardian Spirit charts are remarkably tranquil. If one had to spot a trend, it’s that PvP-focused spirits are seeing a slight uptick, while combinations geared toward dungeons or raids are cooling off ever so slightly.

The most popular leader is 'Fleet Admiral Eun Gwang-il', commanding a 29% share. Much like the Guardian Spirits we discussed, this one is a favourite for PvP encounters. 'Awakened Poharan' trails at 16%, with 'King of Fighters Hong Seok-geun' breathing down her neck in the race for the lead.

This Week's Ranker Settings

Overall Blade Master combat power #1 'Na-hyanggi'

The Blade Master, once a formidable name, has seen better days. It didn't even make the cut for this week's rankings. Yet, for those who crave a reliable, steady playstyle, it remains a go-to choice. Take 'Na-hyanggi', for instance; they’ve managed to secure the top combat power among Blade Masters and a respectable 8th place in the server-wide attack power rankings.

Looking at their gear, one detail stands out: there’s not a single red number in sight regarding reinforcement levels. In short, all gear durability is intact. It’s highly likely they are preparing a massive push to get everything to +20 in one go.

True to the Blade Master’s defensive nature, the build is balanced towards survivability. Most re-forged options focus on Critical Damage Reduction, Defense, and Accuracy. They’ve opted for Penetration on weapons and rings to ensure at least some offensive output. If you're eyeing a Blade Master build, their skill badge re-forging—'Full Moon Slash - Fire Dragon Sword - Azure Dragon Sword'—is a solid choice.

B&S Revolution User Poll

Last week, we surveyed preferences for the 'Revolution Light Footwork' martial arts box items. With four out of the seven martial arts capable of turning the tide of a battle entirely, we wanted to know: which one brings you the most joy when you land it?

The results were practically a landslide. 'Snipe', which inflicts a brutal debuff on the top 1-3 targets, is clearly the fan favourite. Its ability to reduce movement speed and apply a root makes it the ultimate game-changer. 'Gravity Field' took second, and the 'Pull' effect took third.

For our next poll, let’s revisit the 'Raising the Fantasy Baekmong' event. There are four missions to feed your Baekmong: Daily missions, Training Land, Faction Monster kills, and consuming combat stamina. Which one do you find the most engaging? Cast your votes, and we’ll reveal the results in next week’s Meca Ranking.
