[March Week 2, March 9 - March 15, 2021]
With a new week starved of any content and a small sprinkle of Chat Error bugs every now and then, IMC has released a new set of TP packs, Lucky Clover Package, following the success of the previous TP packs’s sales. These new TP packs, as with the last packs, are loaded with more boosts to bring any new players straight to the endgame level as IMC tries to push the boundaries between what is Pay-to-Win and what is Pay-to-Almost-Win. The iToS 5th Anniversary Secret Shop event is also currently underway and its an event no one should be missing out on, containing costumes, cosmetics, equipment-enhancing materials and free farming equipment galore for new players to start off in the endgame, so do not miss out!
Over at kToS, the aforementioned kTest patch from last week has made it to kToS, with 2H-Sword builds gaining the most with stellar results in their most recent WBR rankings. With that said, IMC decided to make bird roast out of Falconer as Falconer’s main benefit, Aiming, is kept but it only affects the Falconer user itself. While it may seem like IMC has heard the voices of kToS players complaining about kTest’s Aiming, it seems like IMC just made the problem worse, screwing its party support utility with no buffs to offset its nerfs, thus possibly dooming Falconer for the following weeks to come.

[50th Weekly Boss Raid Results]
No type, No Property, No Defense Type, three N’s to mark iToS’s 3rd week since the EP 13 update with Neutral bosses that no particular build can take advantage of. Aside from the new map (Tenet Garden) that the player base has little experience with being only the second time it pops up here and Froster Lord’s usual quirks, players will undoubtedly have an easier time with this Weekly Boss Raid with only Weekly Patterns to worry about. Mercies of Telsiai has reigned supreme with this week’s WBR, dealing 18.7 B as a Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor to take the top above rankers across all trees this week.
- Top Swordsman Build:
- Myz [Silute], Fencer | Matador | Barbarian, 13.9 B
- Top Wizard Build:
-
Mercies [Telsiai], Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor, 18.7 B
-
Mercies [Telsiai], Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor, 18.7 B
- Top Archer Build:
- kubis19 [Telsiai], Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher, 15.1 B
- Top Cleric Build:
- RoseQuartz [Telsiai], Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor, 10.2 B
- Top Scout Build:
- Tyhz [Telsiai], Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin, 14.8 B
[Swordsman]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Fedimian:
- 1st and 2nd place: Doppelsoeldner | Blossom Blader | Highlander
- 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- 1st
Over at Toothpicksville, the toothpick knights are at their usual shenanigans dominating the rankings, and with this WBR’s lack of traits to take advantage of for other underdog classes, the toothpick knights will prevail for another week. Myz of Silute proved to have the pointiest toothpick this week among other toothpicks (and two knives), dealing 13.9 B damage as a Fencer | Matador | Barbarian.
The kToS servers have recently acquired kTest’s latest updates on Swordsman changes, and it seems the buffs to 2H-Sword users are exceptionally successful with 2H-Sword users using the Doppelsoeldner | Blossom Blader | Highlander build to take over the kToS Swordsman Rankings. With how long the toothpick knights have tyrannized the Swordsman meta, its about time that things start changing … back to the old 2H-Sword builds tyrannizing the meta … uh yeah. Its a shame that the Swordsman meta has constantly veered between 2H-Sword and Toothpick builds with no sign of other Swordsman builds like 2H-Spear, 1H-Spear + Offhand or 1H-Sword + Offhand builds given how Swordsmen patches have also buffed them as well. With that said, here’s a random Retiarius | Hoplite | Murmillo video for some motivation that not all Swordsmen have to wield toothpicks and meat-cleavers to be great:
[Wizard]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st and 2nd place: Sorcerer | Necromancer | Featherfoot
- 3rd place: Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor
- Fedimian:
- 1st and 2nd place: Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor
- 3rd place: Sorcerer | Necromancer | Featherfoot
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place: Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor
Likewise with all class trees, this week’s WBR has no traits to take advantage of, leaving the field wide open for players to seize with their usual meta builds to go ham on. Mercis of Telsiai, in particular, has shown stellar scores to take top rank across all wizard and class tree rankers this week, dealing 18.7 B damage as a Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor.
But seriously though Silute, what’s with this surge of Fire wizards on the Silute rankings, is there an Inquisition going on and someone has to be burned at the Bokor stake? 
[Archer]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st to 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- Fedimian:
- 1st place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- 2nd and 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Falconer
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
Rinse and repeat, no traits to take advantage of, though it really doesn’t matter to Archers and their uh, “diverse” Mergen-dominated meta while Arquebusier proving to be completely useless at changing the Archer meta’s state-of-affairs thus far. kubis19 of Telsiai proved to be the better Mergen this week, outdamaging all Archers with 15.1 B damage with a Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher.
Personally, Falconer is one of the classes I take the most interest in the Archer tree, though IMC has decided to serve bird roast with it this week in kToS. Its really disheartening to see that kToS and iToS players have the same intentions for once, in that we wish for Falconer change, particularly Aiming, to be reverted, but IMC’s ears aren’t working properly that week and IMC decided to make things worse than they are by making Aiming’s usage limited to the user. In my opinion, one nice thing about the Mergen meta now is how each variant has its own use, be it focusing on damage or exchanging that damage for better utilities, but this really kills the Falconer variant for many reasons, and with the rise of Arbalesters in kToS Archer rankings, the future looks bleak for Falconers.
Can IMC just make a pet build out of Falconer | Hunter | Pied Piper?
[Cleric]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st and 2nd place: Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor
- 3rd place: Exorcist | Miko | Crusader
- Fedimian:
- 1st place: Inquisitor | Zealot | Druid
- 2nd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- 3rd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Crusader
- Telsiai:
- 1st place: Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor
- 2nd place: Chaplain | Dievdirbys | Krivis
- 3rd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
Once again, nothing to take advantage of for Physical Clerics to use, Magic Clerics appear to be in the running for top spot this week. With Exorcist-Miko and Plague Doctor-Druid builds dominating the Cleric rankings, RoseQuartz of Telsiai has conquered the Cleric rankings this week, dealing 10.2 B damage as an Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor.
In this week’s episode of The Chadlain Chappuccino, Zygozenith with Chaplain is so close to the top, but fails to take 1st place once again with a minute difference of only 0.23 B damage. At this point, I believe there is no question of the viablilty of Chaplain’s damage, both as a filler class for raw attack builds (as seen in kToS rankings) or as a main class focusing on auto-attacks and additional damage (as seen with these recent Cleric rankings). With that said, I honestly believe that, at this point, its less about the class build and much more about the players themselves that are the reason for taking 1st rank with how significantly ahead both players are from other top rankers, so their expertise should really be commended. While not in the rankings, the Chaplain | Inquisitor | Kabbalist/Zealot build has also started gaining popularity in both iToS and kToS, so its nice to see where Chaplain is at right now compared to its neglected past.
[Scout]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st place: Clown | Rogue | Assassin
- 2nd and 3rd place: Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin
- Fedimian:
- 1st place: Clown | Rogue | Assassin
- 2nd and 3rd place: Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place: Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st place: Clown | Ardito | Assassin
- 2nd and 3rd place: Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin
The Scout tree once again competes for which is the best 3rd class to go with the currently-adored Clown | Assassin combo, and this week’s neutral boss gives them another shot of proving which is the best. Tyhz of Telsiai stands on top of all Scout rankers this week, dealing 14.8 B damage as a Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin while disregarding my constant hoodoo and cusses to end his reign in the Scout rankings (JK … really!).
On a side note, following the success of the Chadlain Chappuccino, is there a hero that is willing to pull out all the stops to once again put the GT-SR on the rankings and show that the car- uh I mean class still has a fighting chance? Aside from StHeaven who has stuck with Ardito all this time since the EP 13 patch, the Scout ranking’s overabundance of Clown | Assassins compared to all the other Scout classes that have long been under-utilized, especially considering their freedom to weapon-swap (filthy weapon swappers), really made me miss the wonky GT-SR. I would like to think that the GT-SR still had some life in it left waiting for a player to bring it out, much like what happened with Chaplain.
