Welcome to the B&S Revolution Meca Ranking. The Illusionist is currently leading the class distribution charts. Usually, you would expect a significant exodus of players failing to adapt to a new class two or three weeks post-launch, but the Illusionist is a different beast entirely. It has maintained a steady climb, securing a commanding 35.6% share and leaving the previously popular Blade Dancer in the dust—the gap is now more than double. Meanwhile, the Gunslinger, which was trailing closely, couldn't withstand the Illusionist's momentum, suffering a bitter 2% point drop.

Looking at the combat power fluctuation table, the volatility is quite significant. This is a classic occurrence whenever a 'Free Class Change Ticket' is handed out following a new class release. As our analysis suggests, the exchange between Blade Dancers and Illusionists is the most frequent, and with high-ranking players shifting their setups, the average metrics are swinging wildly. It seems the shift in gear settings post-class change is causing these massive ripples in average combat power.

Despite such turbulence, the overall average combat power has seen a slight uptick. Attack power rose by approximately 16,000, while defense increased by about 67,000, breaking past the 4.97 million and 4.15 million marks respectively. We might even see the average attack power cross the 5 million threshold next week.

Level/Attack Power Rankings and Class Preferences on the New 'Unique' Server

The level ranking chart for the Unique server is beginning to solidify. The top 1 to 10 players have all stalled at Hongmun level 87. While it is difficult to gauge the exact experience points accumulated, it is safe to assume they are hovering right on the brink of level 88. With many players outside the top 10 also reaching Hongmun 87, the experience gap between the rankers seems marginal. Once a few start hitting 88, we will finally be able to measure the true extent of that gap.

As for popular classes, the Illusionist's influence is gradually waning here. It dropped 11% points from last week to 23.5%, while the Blade Dancer rose by 6.5% points. It’s a complete reversal of the trends seen on the older servers. The followers—Gunslinger, Archer, and Destroyer—haven't seen any major shifts. It appears the Unique server rankers are still mulling over which popular class to commit to.

Special Option Statistics for 'Unique/Mythic' Grade Guardian Spirits

The Guardian Spirit chart has been a scene of chaos ever since the release of the Unique grade. The top 200 rankers by attack power have spent the last two weeks refining their special options, and we are finally seeing the outlines of preferred builds emerging for each spirit.Amidst the confusion, the top choice was 'Fierce Momentum Descent'. The 'Descent' share was 52%, and 11% of those users chose 'Fierce'. The second special option, 'Momentum', held 14%. Many rankers are currently using 'Sharp Momentum', 'Sharp Wind', or 'Fierce Wind' as placeholders.

Meanwhile, for 'Wol-a', the Guardian Spirit used for character growth, 'Heavenly Momentum' appears to be the favorite. It seems everyone is hunting for the first special option, 'Artisan's', as it provides the biggest boost to character progression. With many options tied for first place and players prioritizing 'Descent' settings, refining Wol-a remains a lower priority.

The only Mythic grade Guardian Spirit, 'Monkey King', is currently used by only 2% of rankers. It is quite possible that number will drop to zero by next week. Given there are only four Unique grade spirits available, the chart above will likely focus only on the top four spots.

Guardian Spirit Combination Statistics Based on Leader

In contrast to the chaotic Guardian Spirit situation, the Ancient grade Guardian Spirit chart has remained relatively calm. Although Fleet Admiral Eun Gwang-il dropped by 5% points, he managed to hold onto the lead. Seizing this gap, 'Awakened Poharan' climbed 6% points, yet she failed to topple 'Soul King Hong Seok-geun', remaining stuck in 3rd place. With Hong Seok-geun himself dropping 5% points, expect a direct showdown between him and Poharan next week. Unless new spirits or grade expansions arrive, this back-and-forth struggle is set to continue.

This Week's Ranker Setup

Overall Attack Power #1 'Zoro'

We have reached the peak of high-ranking players transitioning to Illusionist. No matter which server you visit, the first page of the attack power rankings is crowded with them. 'Zoro', who holds the #1 spot in overall server attack power, is also testing the class. He dominates the battlefield with an attack power exceeding 8.87 million.

Zoro's secret to this high-end setup lies in his enhancement levels. With all gear at +20, 5-stage awakening, and 5-stage blessing, he has reached a level where finding further growth is nearly impossible. If there is anything left to improve, it would be the L-grade refinement on his bracelet and ring. It seems he is holding off on the less cost-effective U-grade refinement while he tweaks a few other options.

He is using the same Martial Arts Pad setup that was popular among ranged classes. His primary skill in battle is likely 'Meow Bubble'. This is evident as both his 'Advance' Martial Arts Pad and his support-type pad refinements are geared towards boosting that specific skill's damage. He also has 'Presence Manifestation' and 'Cat Dream' refined, so definitely take a look at his setup for your own reference.

B&S Revolution User Poll

In our last poll, we surveyed preferences for the new Unique grade Guardian Spirits. The results narrowed down to two out of the four available. 'Descent' took first place by an overwhelming margin, with 'Cheonrin' in second. The former is expected to dominate in PvP—the core content of B&S Revolution—while the latter is anticipated to shine in PvE. Since the ultimate end-game build everyone is chasing is geared towards player combat, these results aren't particularly surprising.
