[Match of the Week] Welcome back to our weekly deep dive into the chaotic battlefields of [Arthdal Chronicles]. This week, we're tracking the 'Match of the Week' in the integrated warzone. The South Korean 'Iruz' server has found itself locked in a grudge match against the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau servers, 'Chusando' and 'Hajesan', within the Black Night Archipelago. So, how does the power balance look? We've crunched the numbers over at KookminTree.

※ Top rankers are based on the highest figures recorded between the 11th and 16th.

'Iruz vs Chusando & Hajesan' Archipelago coalition war begins

Iruz, having carved out its own independent power base following the April server transfer event, has collided with the Chusando and Hajesan servers in the Black Night Archipelago. Since Chusando and Hajesan are already in an alliance with the 'First' union from the Korean 'Yunseul' server, a large-scale coalition war was practically inevitable. Reports from the front lines suggest the skirmishes are already quite intense.

However, if you look at the raw data, the momentum seems to be shifting towards Iruz. For starters, Iruz is home to the number one ranked player in the entire game, 'Yonggisado'. When kitted out for PvP, their combat power hits an eye-watering 214,710. In contrast, the top dog of the Chusando/Hajesan coalition, '農夫一號', sits at an estimated 203,381. That's a gap of over 10,000 in combat power alone.

It’s not just about one player, though. Iruz boasts a solid roster of mid-to-high tier rankers like 'Kkomahyeong', 'Hwangjini', 'Cupid', and 'Shume'. According to player reports, this collective firepower allowed them to secure a favourable outcome in the Wednesday engagement at the Black Night Archipelago. Still, it's early days—with two more opportunities left, the Chusando/Hajesan coalition isn't throwing in the towel just yet. The final outcome is anyone's guess.

Let's break down the heavy hitters. For Iruz, we have Holy Knight 'Yonggisado' (214,710 CP), Fighter 'Kkomahyeong' (197,236 CP), Holy Knight 'Hwangjini' (194,493 CP), Archer 'Cupid' (173,592 CP), and Archer 'Shume' (173,264 CP). The Chusando/Hajesan side features Fighter '農夫一號' (203,383 CP), Fighter '末代隐官陈平安' (203,074 CP), Fighter 'Farmer' (202,717 CP), Fighter '神無忌' (191,023 CP), and Dangri '金光閃耀的佩雅' (183,740 CP).
