Here are the results from the 44th Ancient Fortress battle in Raven 2. We saw three guilds secure at least three victories in the Primordial Battlefield. RoyalDaNaeKkeo continues their relentless march, tallying 21 wins now. They seem content to stick exclusively to the Primordial Battlefield, widening the gap between them and the other multi-win guilds. Meanwhile, NoShowRomantic managed 4 wins, and RaonA snatched 3. Consequently, their total points stand at '4 / 1 / 0 / 0' and '3 / 0 / 0 / 0' respectively. However, neither made the top 10 rankings, where the entry barrier currently sits at '5 / 3 / 0 / 0'. They will need to stack a few more wins to break into that elite circle.

Over in the Elemental Battlefield, Gzone, NEO, and L-Peace are catching eyes. Gzone currently sits as the 8th-ranked guild in Raven 2's Ancient Fortress. For the top-tier guilds, consistency across both the Primordial Battlefield and the lower-tier battlefields is the real decider for rankings. Even if Gzone didn't take the top spot in the Primordial, they are clearly doubling down on their fundamentals.

NEO and L-Peace are grinding away in the Elemental and Life battlefields. The former holds a total record of '0 / 2 / 2 / 0', while the latter sits at '0 / 1 / 5 / 0'. RELOAD managed to snag 3 wins in the Life Battlefield, bringing their total record to '1 / 3 / 3 / 1' for a sum of 8 wins. It is clear that many guilds are choosing to build their points in the lower-tier battlefields rather than relying solely on Primordial glory.

Predicting the matchups and victors for the next Ancient Fortress is proving to be a nightmare. This is because Raven 2 is launching a two-week Battle World event. Since this event offers special rewards across various content like raids, Ancient Fortress, and the Abyss, we expect most top-tier guilds to participate. The real question is how this will disrupt the existing server power dynamics. Expect things to get rather chaotic for a while.

Ancient Fortress Victory Ranking

Looking at the Raven 2 Ancient Fortress victory rankings, the 44th round has caused only two real shifts. RoyalDaNaeKkeo is running away with the lead at 21 wins, and they are only picking up speed. With most other guilds on the chart currently inactive, they have no real competition. They are, quite frankly, a runaway train.

In the midst of this, Gzone added another win in the Elemental Battlefield. However, they haven't quite managed to overcome the wall built by Valentine's consistent efforts in the lower tiers. This is exactly why those lower-tier points are so critical. For Gzone to leapfrog Valentine and claim 7th place, they need either one win in the Primordial Battlefield, two in the Elemental, or one Elemental plus two or more in the Vegetation battlefield. Fortunately, Valentine hasn't been putting their name on the bidding list recently, so Gzone has a golden opportunity to climb. We shall watch their progress with interest.

PVP Ranking Analysis

Finally, the Raven 2 PVP rankings. For the first time in a while, we have a ranker with over 100 kills, and 11 individuals have surpassed the 10-kill mark. Within the top 20, the Vita and Solar worlds are particularly prominent. Vita, in particular, shows a distinct presence from the Dolor server. It looks like a clash took place between the PureLight guild of the TOP Alliance and the heroes of the NameClover Alliance. While the heroes held a numerical advantage in the top 20, the highest kill count belonged to TOP-Oman from the PureLight guild.

Solar presents a different atmosphere than Metus or Mors. Metus has been relatively quiet, with Jurini running away with the lead. At the time of counting, there were only 7 PVP rankers on the server, with 5 having 0 kills and only 1 reaching 2 kills—a massive disparity. Mors had a more active crowd, with members of the 'Please' guild from the SaveMe Alliance taking the top 4 spots on the server. Other PVP rankers weren't part of any formal alliance, but given the pattern of guild icons and naming conventions, it is worth keeping in mind that they might be an unofficial alliance operating under the radar.
