This week's 'Vampir' Meca Ranking shows a peculiar disconnect between individual server class popularity and the overall class share. While the former is experiencing a flurry of shifts, the latter is deathly quiet—as if the world has forgotten that spring is here and decided to take a late winter nap.

A total of 17 servers saw ranking fluctuations in our first chart. Damir and Kizaiya were particularly busy, with all three servers shifting. In Damir 1 and 2, Akasha climbed to third place, while in server 3, Carnage dropped by 3.3 percentage points, failing to hold its tie with Bloodstain and subsequently slipping down. Kizaiya’s servers 1 through 3 saw a complete reshuffle between Bloodstain, Viper, and Carnage. Server 2 saw Viper's share shrink, resulting in a joint second place, while in server 3, Bloodstain grabbed an extra 3.3 percentage points to break away from its joint-first position. The landscape is truly shifting.

Elsewhere, we see Viper and Carnage making significant gains. Viper climbed the ranks in 'Olga 1 - Shima 1 - Dollingen 2 - Lilith 2', while Carnage pushed ahead in 'Nell 2 - Mila 1 - Ridel 3 - Duncan 1'. Additionally, Bloodstain saw increased popularity in Oscar 3 and Poame, while Grim Reaper made waves in Kain 1.

Overall Class Share

The overall class share chart has seen a massive cooldown in volatility. Bloodstain was the most stable, dipping by a mere 0.1 percentage points. Viper, sitting one spot below, actually saw a 0.2 percentage point increase, widening the gap between the top two. On the other end of the spectrum, Carnage (3rd) and Grim Reaper (5th) saw the most movement, with a 0.3 percentage point change. It’s fair to say the meta is taking a breather this week.

Global Server Class Share

The Vampir global server shares are finally finding their footing. Viper remains completely static, while Bloodstain added 0.3 percentage points to put more distance between itself and Viper. Akasha and Carnage saw a 1.0 percentage point decrease and a 1.2 percentage point increase respectively; however, the gap between the two is still too wide to call it a meaningful victory. It’s worth noting that the Korean servers also started with Bloodstain as the undisputed leader, followed by Carnage. Looking at the global servers now, the vibe feels eerily familiar.

All-Server Clan Ranking

While Reaper and Abigail maintain their iron grip on 1st and 2nd place, clans like Blood Pack, Pioneer, Black Knights, Myth, and People in Wigs have been steadily climbing the ladder. Naturally, this meant some clans were pushed out or saw their rankings plummet. The most impressive surges came from Pioneer, which jumped three spots, People in Wigs, which climbed two, and Kedeheon, which flew in from outside the chart to secure 14th place. We shall see if they can maintain this momentum next week.

Vampir Meca Ranking User Poll

Last week, Akasha claimed the top spot in the Vampir global server popularity rankings. Since the class change season has concluded, we chose to poll users on their evaluation of Akasha. 38.3% of participants expressed satisfaction, while 33.3% praised its nimble movement. Not bad at all. Subjective feedback was generally neutral, followed by calls for further balance adjustments.

While compiling the poll results, I suddenly thought of Blood Forms. They grant skills when equipped to the correct class; while there are no class restrictions, there are certainly 'recommended' setups. Out of the various Blood Forms, which class design do you find the most aesthetically pleasing? Let me know in the next poll, and I'll report back with the results next time.
