Welcome, everyone. It is June 2026, and we are back with our regular deep dive into the server trends and metrics for 'B&S Revolution'. After a jam-packed June following the 'NEXT Update', things have been rather lively. Our newest server, 'Yuilmumi', has been open for a month now, and the introduction of the new class, 'Illusionist', has certainly shaken things up across the board. With the arrival of 'Unique' grade Guardian Spirits and new avenues for combat power growth, we have seen a steady upward curve in the average combat power across all servers. We have crunched the data for 2,200 characters across 11 servers, and here is the latest report.

June's Server Spotlight: 'Yuilmumi'

It has been over a month since the 'Yuilmumi' server opened alongside the Illusionist class. It has been a hive of activity, buzzing with both new and returning players. As 'Bimu' (Arena) and 'Regional Occupations' kicked off, the competitive spirit hit a fever pitch, with players laser-focused on the results of the faction wars and territory control.

Let us take a breather and assess the mid-term progress. In the weekly Faction War, the Honcheon Sect has been consistently snatching victory. The latest tally shows the Murim Alliance at approximately 900 million points against the Honcheon Sect's 1.08 billion. The gap is widening, largely due to the slight population advantage the Honcheon Sect enjoyed right from the start.

However, the 'Regional Occupation' tells a different story, with the Murim Alliance leading 7:5. It is a fascinating divergence from the Faction War results. I looked into the 'Otherworld' regions—the true hotbeds of power—and found them locked in a 3:3 stalemate. It seems we are in for a long, drawn-out tug-of-war between these two factions.

June's Focus Classes: 'Illusionist, Gunslinger, and Throwing Blade Master'

For our June focus, we are highlighting the 'Throwing Blade Master' and 'Gunslinger', both of which have been hit hardest by the arrival of the Illusionist. These two have long been fan favourites, but the new kid on the block has pushed them aside. The Throwing Blade Master took the biggest hit, dropping 5.9 percentage points to 18.5%, sliding down to 3rd place overall.

That said, the preference for ranged combat remains unshakable. The top three slots are still occupied by the 'Throwing Blade Master', 'Gunslinger', and 'Archer'—all ranged archetypes—and the Illusionist fits right into that mold. The Illusionist has surged, capturing 28% of the player base, a massive 12.7 percentage point increase from May. It is arguably the most successful class launch to date.

The Illusionist is particularly popular on the 'Wipungdangdang' server, hitting a staggering 38% adoption rate, which dwarfs the numbers on the 'Ilchwiwoljang' server by a 21 percentage point margin. Consequently, Wipungdangdang has seen the lowest numbers for Gunslingers and Throwing Blade Masters, as the Illusionist has effectively cannibalised the ranged market.

June Issue Check!

The late June update expanded the 'Radiant Mythic' gear tier and opened the doors to the next level of dungeon content. The star of the show is 'Garden of Venom', the first Mythic dungeon. Entry requires clearing the 'Otherworld Act 6 Part 2, The Coming War' quest. You can grab your entry ticket by clearing the lower 'Ancient' grade Garden of Venom, or through various events. Once inside, you can take on the final boss, 'Pal-dok-mo'.

The primary reward from the Garden of Venom is the new 'Pal-dok-mo Mythic Soul Shield 8-piece' set. With the highest Block and Penetration stats seen to date, it has become an essential kit for PvP. The dungeon also drops 'Radiant Mythic Gear Blueprints', used to craft the new tier of gear. The current lineup includes offensive ('Hwasin/Jin-il'), defensive ('Susin/Tae-il'), and PvP-oriented ('Juil/Bisang') sets. We have weapons, earrings, and necklaces for now, with the rest coming in future updates.

June Server Commentary

Here is a quick summary of server-wide happenings. The keyword for June is, without question, 'Growth'. Thanks to the new Unique-grade Guardian Spirits, Mythic Soul Shields, and Radiant Mythic gear, average combat power has soared. 'Gyeonggukjisaek' is currently leading the pack, followed closely by 'Jeongwangseokhwa' in second place. We will break down the exact figures in the charts below.

With the 'Free Class Change' benefit following the Illusionist release, we have seen a general shift toward the new class across all servers. The exception is 'Ilchwiwoljang', where players are showing a diverse preference for 'Lyn Blade Dancer, Destroyer, Archer, Soul Fighter, and Warlock'. It is currently the only server where every single class has at least one active player.

Server-by-Server Territory and Combat Power Status

The territorial data reflects the results from the Regional Occupation held on June 28. With Yuilmumi now in the mix, the chart is finally complete. Since the first occupation on June 14, both factions have been locked in a fierce, balanced struggle.

Generally, there is a stable equilibrium across most servers. Aside from 'Dowongyeolui', where the Murim Alliance holds a significant lead, no other server shows a gap larger than five territories. Interestingly, in the Faction War for Dowongyeolui, the score was a nail-biter, with only a 20-million-point difference, proving that while territory control looks lopsided, the actual power balance is anything but.

Content expansions have pushed average combat power upward everywhere. Gyeonggukjisaek and Jeongwangseokhwa are neck-and-neck for the top spot, with Gyeonggukjisaek holding a slim 50,000-point lead. The gap was over 300,000 right after the last server transfer, so Jeongwangseokhwa has been closing in fast. At this rate, we might see a reversal in July. Adieu for now, and best of luck in your battles!
