On the 8th, Arthdal Chronicles launched its Season 2 of the New World specialized servers, boasting drastically reduced monetization burdens and a progression loop where actual play equals growth. Two weeks have already slipped by since the servers swung open their doors, and frankly, an influx of fresh and returning players has left the areas practically bursting at the seams.

So, who is currently sitting at the very top of the power ladder in the New World Season 2 region? And which server is flexing the hardest? KookminTree has prepared a weekly column titled 'Arthdal New World Season 2 Magnifying Glass' to break down the ranking data across all four servers in Season 2. Dive right into the main text for the nitty-gritty details.

Six High-Flyers Smash the 80,000 Combat Power Milestone

It has barely been any time since the New World Season 2 region kicked off, yet we already have six high-flyers cracking the 80,000 combat power mark. The trailblazers leading this charge are Archer Hwal-eop-neum and Jenny on the Aurora server, Assassin Mul-so-rae-hyeon and Archer Sa-gyeok on the Pegasus server, Archer Pa-reun-bak-jwi on the Vega server, and Storm Wizard Pok-ssul on the Phoenix server—all showing rather steep growth trajectories. With at least one player surpassing 80,000 combat power on every single server, the competition in Season 2 is shaping up to be fiercely contested.

Plenty of other formidable names caught our eye, too. Looking at the wider state of the New World Season 2 servers, 36 players have breached the 70,000 combat power threshold, while 279 have crossed 60,000. The combat power required to crack the overall top 500 sits at 56,673, proving that a remarkably large crowd of players has pushed past the Giant Tree Forest and congregated tightly around the Binari Basin.

Now, how does the class distribution look in New World Season 2? Unsurprisingly, much like Season 1, Archers and Storm Wizards continue to dominate. These two ranged classes boast brute-force offensive power that makes tearing through main quests a breeze, not to mention their superior grinding efficiency. Archers, in particular, see their farming speeds skyrocket far beyond other classes once they pick up the Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire rare skills. Storm Wizards, meanwhile, excel at wiping out massive mobs in a single sweep thanks to their devastating ranged area-of-effect spells.

Crunching the numbers for the top 500 rankers in New World Season 2 reveals a clear divide: Archers make up 55%, Storm Wizards 20.6%, Fighters 7.4%, Assassins 5%, Priests 5%, Paladins 3.2%, Warriors 1.6%, Dangguris 1.4%, and Dual Swordsmen 0.8%. Since there is still a decent wait before the class change event rolls around, this ranged supremacy looks set to stick around for a good while.

Which Server Reigns Supreme in New World Season 2?

Shifting gears to average combat power across the New World Season 2 servers, Aurora leads the pack with an impressive 73,298 average. Pegasus trails closely behind at 72,749, Phoenix sits at 70,377, and Vega rounds things out at 68,327. Aurora also hauled in the most cumulative taxes, banking 64,814 gems.

The Match of the Week in New World Season 2: Pegasus vs Aurora

The battle to crown the absolute strongest in New World Season 2 is unfolding within Group 1 of the Black Night Archipelago. It is a direct clash between Pegasus and Aurora. Over the past two weeks of Black Night Archipelago matches, Pegasus secured the upper hand against Phoenix while Aurora pushed past Vega, making this showdown essentially a grand finale between undefeated server titans.

Pegasus enters the fray tightly unified under the banner of the Ko-tol-hwi-nal-ri-myeo guild led by server rank-one player Mul-so-rae-hyeon, alongside the Pyong-sa-dan and Pyong-sa-dan 2 alliances, earning them a reputation as the most menacing server force in New World Season 2. It bears a striking resemblance to the Ara server from New World Season 1. The top 20 alliance members boast an average combat power of 71,936, and with an estimated 62 rankers sitting above 60,000 combat power ready to throw down in actual combat, they are fielding some serious muscle.

Aurora is hardly a pushover, however, proving to be a formidable challenger. United under the Ssal-s-dal guild led by server rank-two player Jenny, alongside the Umi-gwan and Hit alliances, a massive chunk of the server's elite rankers have locked shields. That collective might yielded stellar results against Vega in their previous matches. Their top 20 alliance members average out at 71,332 combat power, backed by an estimated 54 rankers over 60,000 combat power ready for active duty—giving the Pegasus alliance a real run for their money.
