It is time for the B&S Revolution Meca Ranking. The 'Illusionist' is breaking its own records for class share every single day. This week, it added another 2.3 percentage points to hit 37.9%, and we are practically staring at the 40% mark now. It has well and truly left its positional rivals, the 'Archer' and 'Gunner', in the dust. Those two are no longer rivals; they have been relegated to mere challengers hoping to snatch the Illusionist's throne.

Furthermore, from the 4th-ranked 'Archer' downwards, the class distribution takes a steep dive. The gap between the 5th-ranked 'Warlock' and the 8th-ranked 'Destroyer' follows a similar trend, while the remaining classes are stuck in the 1% range. Ever since the Illusionist landed, the divide between the popular kids and the rest has become crystal clear. In fact, if you add up the shares of the 11th to 25th-ranked classes, they only account for 10.1%, which illustrates a rather significant disparity.

The appetite for class changes among rankers seems to be cooling down. Even for the Illusionist and Archer, which see the most movement, we are looking at a maximum shift of about 35 players. In short, most combat power rankers have more or less settled on their permanent roles. Unless there is a major balance patch or a free class change ticket handed out, expect the Illusionist-centric meta to hold firm for quite some time.

Level/Attack Power rankings and class preferences for the new 'Unique' server

Here are the metrics for the new Unique server, where players are pushing past Hongmoon level 88. As predicted, the top-tier level grinders have finished their leveling spikes simultaneously. The players gracing the first page of the leaderboard are growing at such similar speeds that it is hard to tell who is ahead. You would have to stare at the in-game ranking screen just to catch who hit level 88 first. It is still a dogfight, so there is not much weight to put on these rankings just yet.

The Attack Power category, however, shows a steady upward trajectory. We now have five players who have shattered the 5 million mark, with 'sApyujuS' leading the pack at approximately 5.43 million. They have extended the gap against the 2nd-place player, 'Atchageo', by about 130,000. It is also worth noting the spread between 1st and 10th place; we are talking about a difference of nearly 1.2 million, which will certainly lead to some noticeable firepower imbalances.

Statistics for the special options of 'Unique/Mythic' grade Guardian Spirits

Since the launch of the Unique grade, the Guardian Spirit charts have remained in a state of flux. While the top four spirits are settled as 'Advent - Cheonrin - Haetji - Wol-a', the special options remain all over the place. Even looking at 'Advent', which is the most picked by rankers, the option variety is vast. 'Overlord’s Thunder Advent' is arguably the most popular, though 'Overlord’s Flame' or 'Piercing Thunder' are also getting some love.

Looking at the overall special option rankings, the 'Overlord's' prefix seems to be pulling ahead. While it is hard to crown it the definitive favourite with only a 10% share, it gives us a clear look at where the top players are steering their builds. The secondary special options are even less consolidated, with players picking almost anything besides the top-ranked 'Flash'.

Guardian Spirit combination statistics based on the leader

In contrast to the volatile Guardian Spirits, the Guardian Spirit chart remains remarkably quiet. With no announced changes or new spirits on the horizon, the status quo has been maintained. The popular spirits are spaced out nicely in terms of percentage, making for a rather peaceful, non-competitive landscape.

Maintaining the top spot is 'Fleet Admiral Eun Gwang-il'. It picked up another 3 percentage points to finish at 25%, widening its lead over the runner-up, 'Yeokwang Hong Seok-geun', by 4 percentage points. Note that both spirits are staples for PvP, which explains why they share the spotlight.

This week's ranker setup

Overall Attack Power #1: 'Tteogureureugureusim'

The Illusionist craze is hitting every server hard. Even 'Tteogureureugureusim', who made a name for themselves as a Gunner ranker, has switched to the Illusionist. Their rise to the #1 spot in overall Attack Power made the transition impossible to miss.

They have carried over their signature critical hit build to the Illusionist perfectly. They opted for critical hit damage on weapon refinement options—previously used for penetration—and plastered critical hit and critical hit damage across all gear, including sacred items, necklaces, rings, and spirits. Their new Unique grade spirit, 'Heavenly Lightning Cheonrin', confirms that their commitment to this build philosophy is unwavering.

For the martial arts badge, they chose 'Crushing Roar' to max out critical damage, while slotting in the 'Dark Mirror' attack badge to ensure a high critical hit rate. The martial arts badge refinements are 'Presence Emission - Cat Dream - Meow Bubble'. If you are playing an Illusionist, keep in mind that this is currently the 'go-to' setup for almost every serious build.
