Look, let us be honest for a moment. Welcome to the Arthdal Chronicles Meca Ranking. The October server transfer event for Arthdal Chronicles wrapped up on the 8th of this month. Following the conclusion of the Masters League throughout September, the high-ranking players who had previously huddled together on a single server have finally returned to their respective homelands. So, what does the post-transfer server landscape actually look right now? KookminTree has dug into the data to find out.

A Month-Long Epic Concludes as High-Ranking Players Return to Their Home Servers

The fiercely contested Masters League, which raged on for roughly a month throughout September, has officially drawn to a close. Consequently, top-tier competitors who previously gathered on a specific server for the sake of victory have made their way back home. Most notably, the Nyang Nyang Alliance, anchored by figures such as the Aramun Hasaeulra player Wattada, packed their bags for Ivna, while the Immortal Alliance, centered around the server's number two overall competitor Black Knight Do, relocated to Inaishingi.

Among all these shifts, the absolute standout is none of other than Ivna. With a heavy influx of powerhouse contenders joining forces—including the Holy Knight Wattada, the Assassin Honeycombo, Shukshuk, and Orurak—the server now boasts a far sturdier mid-to-upper tier than during the previous Sasinsu Coalition era. Furthermore, with a massive headcount matching their historical numbers, it appears practically unrivaled across the board, save perhaps for Yunseul.

Next up on the radar is Darkus. A significant portion of the K-Neutral Alliance members previously stationed on the Mihaze server have migrated over to Darkus, bolstering their ranks by joining the local Gusok Alliance. Historically, the Gusok Alliance suffered from a bit of a hollow middle, consisting mostly of top-end elite competitors, but this fresh influx of manpower has forged a remarkably formidable server powerhouse. To sweeten the deal, the Gusok Alliance is currently riding high on a five-match winning streak protecting the Geomuldun Fortress Division 2 siege, keeping their momentum rolling. We are expecting some serious fireworks from them in upcoming cross-server content.

Quite a few competitors also packed up and left Yunseul for greener pastures elsewhere. Looking strictly at the upper echelon of the rankings, the Assassin Tyrok headed to Ciar, the Holy Knight Merongcity set sail for 秋山島, the Assassin 南無阿彌陀佛 moved to Thoros, and the Holy Knight Chodaenam took a trip over to the Mihaze server. Given that these are all household names in the upper brackets, they are practically guaranteed to wrestle away control of their new domains.

How Do the All-Server Average Combat Power Rankings Look?

Now, let us turn our attention to the all-server average combat power charts. The recent server transfers have predictably shaken up the hierarchy in a major way. Looking at the averages, the Aramun Hasaeulra server dropped by 20,630 points after losing a massive bulk of its population, while Mihaze saw a dip of 19,005 points. On the flip side, Ivna enjoyed a massive spike of 48,820 points thanks to the arriving hordes, and Darkus climbed by 22,354 points.

What About the Archipelago Score Rankings?

Competitiveness in the archipelago score race was a bit tighter than usual last week, mostly because the server transfers had just shaken things up and it simply was not a tax collection week. As a result, the player Madman from the Aramun Hasaeulra server—who stayed put and skipped the transfer madness—snagged the number one spot across all servers with an impressive 565 billion points. Hot on their heels was the Yunseul server's Cheonhacheongeom in second place with 557 billion points, Aramun Hasaeulra's Devil in third with 554 billion points, and their server-mate Madwanja rounding out the top four with 537 billion points.

How Are High-Ranking Classes Distributed?

Let us shift gears and examine the class breakdown among the elites. Looking at statistics for the top 100 players with the highest combat power across the board, Assassins take a commanding 41%, followed by Warriors at 26%, Holy Knights at 14%, Priests at 12%, Archers at 3%, Stormcasters at 2%, and both Danggeuri and Dual Swordsmen trailing at 1% each. If we broaden the lens a bit to cover the mid-tier bracket from ranks 101 to 500, the landscape shifts quite a bit: Archers lead with 24.5%, closely followed by Assassins at 24%, Priests at 22%, Stormcasters at 19.25%, Warriors at 4.25%, Danggeuri at 3%, Holy Knights at 1.75%, Dual Swordsmen at 0.75%, and standard Warriors closing out at 0.5%.

All-Server Alliance Score Rankings

Next up, let us examine the alliance score leaderboard for Arthdal Chronicles. Even though alliance fame points were completely reset for the week, the First Alliance on the Yunseul server stubbornly held onto the throne with 705 billion fame points. Right behind them sits the Madman Alliance on the Aramun Hasaeulra server with 644 billion points, the Nyang Nyang Alliance on Ivna taking third with 596 billion points, and Yunseul's Black Label Alliance securing fourth place with 418 billion points.

With the fame scores wiping clean, several alliances from the New World Season 1 and Season 2 servers managed to comfortably secure spots within the top 20. First off, the Orion Server's Orion Bakery Alliance landed in 8th place with 13.5 billion points, the Ara Server's ROYAL Alliance took 12th with 12 billion points, the Leo Server's Mythology Alliance grabbed 13th with 11.9 billion points, the Ara Server's Geodeureok Alliance claimed 14th with 10.8 billion points, and finally, New World Season 2's Aurora Server Hit Alliance muscled its way into 16th place with 8.7 billion points.

Arthdal Chronicles User Poll

Here are the results from last week's Meca Ranking community vote. The topic of the week was: 'What is your absolute favorite Mount of Endurance?' True to form, the Dream Lion—widely considered the top performer when it comes to raw grinding and farming—pulled off a landslide victory with an overwhelming 85% of the vote. Following behind were the Shadow of Agoha with 12.5% and the Cheonggwangmiho with 2.5%.

Now, it is time to unveil this week's community question. Over on the New World Season 2 fresh servers for Arthdal Chronicles, weapon choices have become a remarkably frequent topic of debate among players: should you opt for a rare-tier elemental weapon to maximize your elemental amplification rate, or stick with a top-tier superior Heroic weapon boasting higher base attack power? So, which route do you reckon players are better off taking? Cast your votes, and we will reveal the verdict right here next week.
