Welcome back to the Meca Ranking for Arthdal Chronicles. The May server transfer window slammed shut on the 7th, leaving us with a reshuffled deck of players. The Mihaje server, in particular, found itself on the receiving end of a massive invasion. Let’s dive into the KookminTree data to see which servers are actually worth watching right now.

May Server Transfers: Which Servers Are Making Waves?

The Black Label alliance from the Yunseul server—part of the First coalition—launched a full-scale invasion of the Mihaje server, currently held by the National Representative alliance. These two are long-time rivals, so hostilities kicked off in the Black Night Archipelago the moment the gates opened. The Black Label alliance seems to be firmly in control, enjoying a clear advantage in sheer numbers and combat power. Notably, 'BlackSabu' (formerly 'Hoit') migrated from the Ivna server to join the fray, and their sudden surge in combat power is already proving to be a massive headache for the defenders.

The Baekya alliance from the Inaisin-gi server has relocated to the First coalition's Yunseul server. Since they are allies, this looks like a strategic consolidation to fill the power vacuum left by the departing Black Label alliance. With heavy hitters like the rapidly scaling 'Tanjiro' and 'Bori' (formerly 'MadHandsome') arriving from the Aramunhaesulla server, they have built quite the formidable frontline. Expect them to be major players in upcoming cross-server content.

Ivna has seen a significant shake-up. With their former #1, BlackSabu, heading to Mihaje, the server’s power ranking took a hit. However, they’ve plugged the gap with 'KnightDo' (formerly 'LeftHeavenSwordYongbyung') from the Airouz server. KnightDo has been on an absolute tear lately, hitting a combat power of 222,183 and cementing their status as the server's top dog.

The quiet Isodnyeong server just got a lot louder with the arrival of Yunseul’s BlackSabu and Ivna’s Ddungbu. Their mission seems simple: capitalize on the lack of high-level competition to farm the Black Night Archipelago and claim the server taxes. It’s going to be a tight race for points. While BlackSabu holds a slight edge in raw combat power, Ddungbu’s Fighter class is tailor-made for efficient farming in the 5th archipelago, keeping the outcome anyone’s guess.

The Sharuka server, previously seen as a bit of a lightweight, has welcomed two new top-tier players: 'NamuAmitabha' from Duaka and 'Legend' (formerly 'SamsungLeeJaeYongByung') from Yunseul. Their arrival has significantly boosted the average combat power of the server’s elite, setting them up for much better results in future cross-server skirmishes like the Black Night Archipelago and Frostwall Cliff.

How’s the combat power looking for the top rankers?

The recent 2nd-anniversary update has pushed everyone’s numbers up across the board. Ivna’s Fighter, KnightDo, added 5,711 to their total last week, solidifying their spot as the #1 player across all servers. Word on the street is that a successful Ancient Accessory enhancement is the secret sauce behind this leap. Elsewhere, Yunseul’s 'CheonhaCheongeom' (+5,198), 'YongbyungMunuiJuseyo' (+4,968), and 'Vega' from the Namdal mountain server (+5,213) all saw impressive gains.

What about the average combat power per server?

Server mergers and transfers have sent players scurrying in every direction, causing huge swings in average power. The Mihaje server, currently embroiled in an invasion, saw its average combat power skyrocket by a staggering 30,917. Other notable gainers include Aramunhaesulla (+4,392), Ivna (+4,128), and Siar (+4,013).

Who’s leading in archipelago points?

Last week was a bit quiet on the points front—mostly because it wasn't a tax-collection week. Consequently, 'YongbyungMunuiJuseyo' from the Yunseul server—who stayed put during the transfers—claimed the top spot with 43,390,140,000 points. They were followed by fellow server mates 'Transcend' (39,249,860,000), 'CheonhaCheongeom' (36,761,100,000), and 'LRepresentative' (34,187,760,000).

What about class distribution?

With the 2nd-anniversary update granting free class changes, the meta has shifted quite a bit. Among the top 100 players, Fighters rule the roost at 45%, followed by Archers (17%), Holy Knights (10%), Priests (10%), Stormcallers (9%), Dangri (5%), Warriors (2%), and Twin Swords (2%). If we look at the broader top 500, the preference shifts: Archers lead at 33.3%, followed by Stormcallers (28.3%) and Priests (21.5%).

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

Last week, we asked: 'Which class do you recommend for starting on the new Crabon server?' Unsurprisingly, 41.38% of you went with the Archer for its superior early-game farming. The Priest followed with 27.59% thanks to its high sustain, and the Stormcaller took 10.34% for its efficient crowd control.

For this week’s topic: The May update introduced the solo PvE 'Trial Dungeon', which rewards players with powerful Relic gear. Now that we’re diving into these, I’m stuck—should I push through the Frost Hall stages 1-8 for the first-clear rewards, or focus solely on the Temple of Flame? Let us know what you think, and we’ll reveal the results next week!
