Alongside the 2nd anniversary of 'Raven 2's' launch, a new profession, Warlord, and class change tickets have arrived. The update dropped on May 27th, with the Meca Ranking compilation date on May 28th. As Warlord has just made its debut, it's still a bit early to gauge its environmental impact. The class change season runs until June 24th, 4:59 AM, so we'll need to observe this one for a while.

Despite its nascent stage, Warlord managed to secure a respectable position in its first compilation. It landed in 3rd place on Nox World's Fides and Honor servers, both with an identical 12% share. On Fides, it even closed the gap to the 2nd place Divine Caster to a mere 4 percentage points. Furthermore, excluding the Methus server, melee classes took the 3rd spot across Nox World.

The overall server-specific popular class chart can be broadly divided into two camps. Night Ranger and Divine Caster dominate the 1st and 2nd spots on all servers, engaged in a silent battle for supremacy. Third place, however, sees a significant prevalence of Berserker, occupying the 3rd position on a total of 16 servers. Hot on its heels is Death Bringer, chasing 3rd place in nine of those servers. Beyond these, various classes like Vanguard, Destroyer, and Elementalist are vying for a top 3 finish.

Overall Class Analysis

The first chart gave us a glimpse into where Warlord has established its roots. Now, let's move to the overall class share chart to examine Warlord's initial spec. Warlord debuted in the Raven 2 Meca Ranking with a 4.8% share, placing 6th. It's starting its competitive journey in the mid-to-lower tier. The gap with Elementalist, one rank above, is a mere 0.6 percentage points, while Vanguard, below, is 1.1 percentage points away. We'll check the results of this initial share and ranking competition next time.

Global Class Analysis

The preferred classes among top players differ between Raven 2's Korean and Global regions. Divine Caster ranks higher than Night Ranger, and Gunslinger enjoys significant popularity – a prime example. Yet, Warlord has secured the same 6th place as in Korea. Its share is 5.1%, slightly higher than the Korean region. Its closest competitors are Gunslinger, a mere 0.3 percentage points behind, and Assassin, 0.4 percentage points adrift. While a higher initial share is beneficial, the slim margin with competitors presents a precarious situation.

Guild Dungeon Ranking Records

While Warlord has embarked on a long race with its update, the Guild Dungeon has concluded its track for this season. The season wraps up early next week, Monday or Tuesday, making this compilation the final seasonal result. A total of 374 guilds were tallied, an increase of 21 from last week. RoyalDaeKkeo remains the undisputed champion with a time of 5 minutes and 52 seconds, hoisting the trophy as the season's final victor. Second place goes to Ranteebe, who shaved 15 seconds off their record, climbing two spots. However, 15 seconds wasn't enough to catch RoyalDaeKkeo. We anticipate Ranteebe contending for the top spot in Raven 2's Guild Dungeon rankings next season.

Raven 2 Meca Ranking User Poll

Last week's poll focused on players' favourite aspects of Raven 2's 2nd-anniversary update. Topping the vote, with an impressive 45.3% share, was the Ultimate and Special Coupons, a favourite among Raven 2 users. Following in second were the Legendary Costume and Familiar Tickets, with the expansion of Chaos Tower to the 50th floor taking third place. In the open-ended responses, players expressed a desire for more 2nd-anniversary events. Fortunately, this wish has been granted with the 'Festive Monster Cleanup' event foreshadowed in the May 4th week developer's note.

Now, let's announce this week's poll topic. To celebrate its 2nd anniversary, Raven 2 has launched a Special Operative Growth Event. This involves tackling challenges across 70 stages for abundant rewards. We want to hear from you: which of these missions do you find the most difficult? Please cast your vote, and we'll announce the results next time.
