Welcome to our [Match of the Week] column, where we dissect the chaotic theatre of war in Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles). This week, we see the absolute titans of the server, the Yunseul and Isodnyeong groups, colliding in the Black Night Archipelago. Rumour has it that these two heavyweights have actually joined forces to take down the fourth island boss, Subek. Fancy seeing how their top-tier rankers stack up? Let's dive in.

※ Top rankers are based on the highest figures recorded between the 8th and 13th.

Isodnyeong vs. Yunseul: Average Combat Power exceeds 133,000

The stars have aligned for a clash between Yunseul and Isodnyeong in the Black Night Archipelago this week. The average combat power across these groups is a staggering 130,000-plus, boasting players like the Isodnyeong server's Doduk (Hoithyeong) and Yunseul's Paeakjil, both of whom are locked in a fierce struggle for the number one spot on the global rankings. Plus, with recent server transfers bringing in fresh blood, both camps are looking more bloated and dangerous than ever.

These two groups have maintained a cozy alliance for quite some time now. Perhaps that explains why, upon being matched together, they immediately set their sights on the fourth island boss, Subek, and successfully put it to rest. Given that Subek is a beast capable of deleting a 150,000 combat power ranker in just two hits, this is no small feat.

So, how do their forces measure up? Looking at the estimated alliance members, the power dynamics are clear: Isodnyeong claims one 170k-tier powerhouse, while Yunseul leads the 160k and 150k brackets with two and one rankers respectively. In the 140k bracket, Isodnyeong edges ahead with four to Yunseul's three. Yunseul dominates the 130k range with seven against two, while the 120k bracket sees Yunseul holding eleven to Isodnyeong's eight. When this much concentrated force hits a boss, even Subek doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.

Let's take a closer look at the heavy hitters. Isodnyeong features Stormcaster Doduk (174,416 CP), Archer Gangwon Baekho (149,554 CP), Twinblade Teheran Yeomra (145,901 CP), Archer Gyeryongsan Chorong-i (142,928 CP), and Warrior Dongtan-kkul-beok-ji (141,361 CP). Meanwhile, Yunseul fields Twinblade Paeakjil (169,617 CP), Warrior Michinja (162,344 CP), Warrior Nunbadong Insect Shell (152,805 CP), Warrior Bulldozer v (147,779 CP), and Archer Aramsup Insect Shell (146,387 CP).
