On April 22, 'Raven 2' opened its Battle World. It is a space where players and guilds from all regions can gather to enjoy the game. The publisher is trying to stoke participation with various bonuses and exclusive events. Naturally, I expected a massive shake-up in the Meca Ranking following the arrival of Battle World, but the shift was rather underwhelming. As of April 24, only a handful of guilds like Royaldanaekkeo and RaonA seem to have migrated. Of course, the transfer window remains open until April 26, so we might want to keep an eye on things.

Let's dive into this week's charts. A total of 10 servers saw fluctuations in their popular class rankings. The main protagonists of this rivalry were the Berserker and the Deathbringer, competing for the 3rd spot across nine different servers. The only other outlier was the Vita-Mors server, where the Night Ranger and Divine Caster swapped positions. As for the results, the Berserker managed to secure 3rd place on 5 servers, while the Deathbringer took 4, giving the Berserker a marginal victory.

Overall Class Analysis

The skirmish between Berserker and Deathbringer flows right into the overall class share chart. Other classes saw their influence siphoned off, with the Berserker gaining 0.6 percentage points and the Deathbringer climbing by 1.0 percentage points. While the Deathbringer grabbed a larger slice of the pie, the gap between the two isn't quite wide enough to cause a seismic shift yet. It is worth noting, however, that they have both solidified their hold on the 4th position amidst the current volatile landscape of class rankings.

Further down the list at 5th place and below, the Vanguard took quite a hit. It lost 0.7 percentage points and dropped two places. This paved the way for the Destroyer and Assassin to climb the charts. The Assassin in particular managed to snag 0.1 percentage points, successfully jumping two spots to tie for 6th place.

Global Class Analysis

In the Global region, the Divine Caster, Deathbringer, and Gunslinger all increased their market share. The Divine Caster is gradually bulking up and nearing the 40% mark, while the Deathbringer is on the verge of breaking into the 8% range. I am curious to see if the Deathbringer can eventually catch up to the Berserker in the Global region. Additionally, the Gunslinger is currently embroiled in a rivalry with the Assassin; thanks to a slightly higher growth rate of 0.1 percentage points, it has successfully overtaken its competitor.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

The Raven 2 Guild Dungeon recently wrapped up its latest season. Records have been wiped clean, forcing everyone back into the ranking fray. TOP has seized 1st place, and many guilds that had previously conquered Stage 5—including the former leader, Royaldanaekkeo—have vanished from the top spots. There are two reasons for this. It is still early in the season, and it is the kind of content where a slow climb is perfectly acceptable. As time passes, I expect the number of guilds clearing Stage 5 and competing for records to rise.

The second reason is the migration of some guilds, including Royaldanaekkeo, to Battle World. As of April 24, I spotted guilds like Royaldanaekkeo, RaonA, and RaonB appearing in the Battle World rankings. These migrated guilds are now competing alongside others from different regions who have visited Battle World. Honestly, it would be quite fun to track a 'Battle World Guild Dungeon Ranking' before they close the doors to that mode!

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

Finally, let's take a look at the results of our Raven 2 Meca Ranking poll. We asked how players planned to enjoy Battle World, and 'Aiming for the Top' took 1st place. It seems members of the Royaldanaekkeo and Raon guilds likely participated. Best of luck to them in achieving their goals. 2nd place went to 'Aiming for the top of Battle World,' while 3rd place was taken by open-ended responses. Many of these responses highlighted an 'anticipation for cross-region PVP content,' showing there are plenty of players who just live for the thrill of the fight.

Raven 2 has implemented quality-of-life improvements for the Familiar Expedition this week. Familiars, along with costumes, have a massive impact on your character's stats. This led me to wonder: 'We have content to enjoy with Familiars, but what about something for costumes?' If we were to create content utilizing costumes similar to the Familiar Expedition, what would you want to see? Cast your vote and let us know your brilliant ideas. I will share the results next time.
