Welcome back to the [Meca Ranking] for Arthdal Chronicles. April’s new events have triggered a notable surge in the average combat power of our top-tier players. While the absolute elite remain largely unchanged, the mid-to-high bracket is seeing some serious movement. So, just how much has the average climbed over the past week, and who are the players to watch? We’ve crunched the numbers here at KookminTree.

A windfall of synthesis materials in the April event

The latest update for Arthdal Chronicles introduces a synthesis support event. Every time you attempt to synthesize Spirits or Mounts, you are rewarded with Shining or Resplendent 11x Awakening Summon Tickets, along with Hero Awakening Summon Tickets and a 'Brilliant Memory' for Spirits or Mounts. The best part? This mission resets every Monday at 6:00 AM, meaning you can harvest these rewards four times before the event concludes on the 22nd at 6:00 AM.

Alongside this, the monthly shop reset has arrived, offering up Synthesis Support packages, Legendary Challenge packages, and Premium Mileage Legendary Awakening support boxes. With the addition of Legendary Summon Ticket selection boxes via the weekly 'Spring Special Coins,' it is no wonder so many players are throwing their resources into Mythic Spirit and Mount synthesis.

Many mid-to-high rankers who successfully hit those Mythic syntheses have been pushing for level 2 Awakening, directly driving up the average combat power. Over the last week, the average combat power of the top 100 players has spiked by 1,016—a massive jump in just seven days. Meanwhile, the very top players, who had already maxed out their level 2 Awakenings, saw much slower growth.

The player who saw the most significant boost from this is 'Gildiri' from the Mihaje server. With a staggering increase of 3,984 combat power in just one week, they’ve vaulted to 28th place globally, overtaking names like 'Saseum' and 'Mujeok' from the Darcus server and 'Wattadda' from the Ibna server. It seems they managed to secure a 2nd-level Awakening for either a Spirit or a Mount.

Other notable climbers include 'Gunja' from the Siar server (+2,814), 'UjuCombo' from Ibna (+3,274), 'Michindokkaebiaein' from Aramunhaesla (+2,818), 'Doksa' from Darcus (+3,676), and the Ibna duo 'Gongju' (+2,452) and 'Wangja' (+2,059), as well as 'Kkomamanyeo' from Duaka (+2,911). Given their standing, these gains are almost certainly the result of successful 2nd-level Awakenings.

What about the average combat power per server?

Looking at the server-wide average combat power, things have remained relatively stable. With an average increase of around 1,000 points across the board, the hierarchy hasn't shifted significantly. The Mihaje server, home to our star climber Gildiri, saw the highest average increase at 1,559 points. Given the concentration of mid-to-high rankers there, we expect to see further movement up the charts soon.

How do the Island Point rankings look this week?

Last week was a high-stakes period for Island taxes, leading to fierce competition. 'Hoiti' from the Ibna server took the top spot globally with 34,861,390,000 points. We've seen an influx of top players farming in the Black Night 5 Island, where classes like the Paladin and Fighter are proving highly efficient, racking up impressive average scores.

What about class distribution among the top rankers?

Diving into the class statistics for the top 100 players globally, we see the Fighter leading at 23%, followed by Archer (16%), Storm Mage (16%), Priest (14%), Paladin (12%), Dangri (8%), Warrior (7%), and Twin Blade (4%). When we broaden our scope to the 101–500 range, the landscape shifts: Storm Mage (32.8%), Priest (24.3%), Archer (19.3%), Dangri (6.5%), Fighter (5.8%), Warrior (4.3%), Twin Blade (4%), and Paladin (3.3%).

How about the Alliance Point rankings?

The Ibna server’s 'Cheongryong' Alliance continues its reign at the top with 181.8 billion Reputation points. They are followed by the 'First' Alliance from the Yunseul server (178.7 billion), the 'Akma' Alliance from Aramunhaesla (142.8 billion), and the 'Eungeo' Alliance from Chusando (119.1 billion). As all alliance points have been reset this week, we expect a major shake-up in the standings.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

In last week’s Meca Ranking poll, we asked, 'What do you think of the Time Dungeon improvements?' The most popular sentiment was positive (36.36%), though 27.27% were not impressed. Feedback included requests to make the 'Blessing Spirit' from Serpent Scale Gorge tradeable, restore the acquisition of Awakening Tokens in the Time Dungeon, expand the number of basic channels, and add elemental Time Dungeons to help with essence farming.

Now, for this week’s topic: The update improved the World Boss quick-travel function, allowing players to warp directly to the boss entrance. While some praise the time saved, others argue it makes it harder to build up contribution points due to the speed. What is your take on this change? Cast your vote, and we’ll share the results next week.
