With recent balance shifts still fresh and the dust barely settled, players who follow updates through communities connected to the Crickex Affiliate ecosystem are once again due for a full refresh of the latest martial soul strength tiers and development priorities. A wave of new characters and newly released divine soul rings has dramatically reshaped the PVE landscape, while the PVP environment has undergone even more dramatic change. The arrival of Guangling Douluo and Soul Devourer Bibi Dong has redefined what it means to be a top-tier PVP core, forcing many long-standing assumptions to be reexamined.
Ironically, while this guide was being prepared, official announcements confirmed upcoming PVP nerfs to both Guangling Douluo and Soul Devourer Bibi Dong. Even so, after extended late-night arena sessions, their overall impact still feels very real. The difference now lies less in raw numbers and more in execution, as higher mechanical requirements separate average users from skilled operators. With that context in mind, it makes sense to break things down role by role and lay the cards on the table.
Starting with the power attack category, the release of the limited core Soul Devourer Bibi Dong has triggered a major reshuffle. Many players who previously relied on Cage-style builds have switched allegiance without hesitation. Whether in short-map burst scenarios or extended encounters, her output consistently outperforms Cage setups, and critical-focused builds transition smoothly without painful restructuring. This explains why her performance has remained exceptional across both PVE and PVP, a trend frequently echoed by long-term players familiar with Crickex Affiliate analysis habits.
Tang Hao and White Tiger have also enjoyed a partial revival following adjustments to skill scaling and descriptions. Tang Hao’s improvements are notably stronger, establishing a clear division of labor where Bibi Dong excels in long fights, Tang Hao dominates short engagements, and White Tiger fills a more situational support-damage niche. Together, they now form a stable three-way balance at the top of the power attack hierarchy.
The agility attack category has seen fewer changes overall. New pass characters continue the tradition of underwhelming PVE performance, but their PVP presence tells a very different story. Bai Chenxiang once held the top agility spot for months, Ye Yuan remains the premier PVP support martial soul, and Guangling Douluo’s arrival simply reinforced this pattern. At peak strength before adjustments, his damage felt like a tactical nuclear option, leaving little room for counterplay.
Among agility attackers, Mo Changge stands out as the most well-rounded option. She remains the preferred main carry for PVE-focused agility players while also delivering solid PVP results, especially in mid and lower ranks where brute-force strategies still shine. Control-type roles remain largely unchanged, though control-oriented Bibi Dong has gained renewed relevance in long encounters thanks to divine soul rings, an impressive lifespan for a launch-era character.
In the final overview, and as many seasoned readers tied to Crickex Affiliate circles would agree, support and defense roles remain refreshingly stable. Ning Rongrong continues to define all-around support value, Ye Yuan dominates PVP utility, and Oscar paired with Tang Hao offers consistent synergy. On the defensive side, Gu Rong still functions as a true all-rounder, performing reliably across nearly every scenario and earning especially high priority in PVE when divine enhancements are available.
