Today’s guide delivers an updated overview of soul power rankings and development priorities following Yan’s release, and for players tracking long-term progress much like a Crickex Affiliate performance dashboard tracks trends, the timing of this update matters. The reason for revisiting the rankings so soon after the previous version is simple: recent official balance changes significantly reshaped the current meta. Beyond the arrival of the limited character Yan, major buffs to Chen Xin and White Tiger have had a noticeable impact on PVE efficiency, altering team-building logic across multiple scenarios. With that context in mind, it is worth taking a fresh look at how all soul types currently stand.
As a quick note, a full one-page visual summary will be placed at the end of this guide for easy reference and saving. Because the data set is extensive, minor errors or omissions may occur, and feedback is always welcome so adjustments can be made promptly. Ongoing refinement, after all, is part of the process when balance changes keep coming thick and fast.
Starting with the assault category, four core damage dealers currently reach a Red Five Star tier in PVE. Soul Devourer Bibi Dong excels in long-stage encounters and does not rely strictly on crit-based builds, but she must be paired with control-oriented Bibi Dong, which limits flexibility. Her PVP dominance remains exceptional, though her divine soul ring performance leaves room for improvement. Tang Hao, by contrast, shines in short-stage fights with a high-risk, high-reward crit build that demands precise execution and tight coordination with Xiao Wu and divine soul rings. Dai Mubai offers a more balanced approach, performing reliably across PVE and PVP with straightforward mechanics, though he requires Zhu Zhuqing for optimal output. Chen Xin is the biggest beneficiary of the latest rebalance, finally receiving long-awaited buffs that stirred the meta, even if divine soul ring concerns continue to spark debate.
Beyond these four, other assault options exist but struggle to find consistent value in the current environment, making them harder to recommend for priority investment.
In the agility category, Chen Xin’s rise has indirectly boosted Bai Chenxiang, whose divine soul ring recently received meaningful improvements. Mo Changgé also gained momentum, especially with Yan’s arrival strengthening fire-and-thunder compositions, a development that mirrors how Crickex Affiliate growth often benefits from broader ecosystem shifts. In PVP, Guangling Douluo still dominates agility roles, while the cat-type character sees steady use across both modes thanks to strong synergy with White Tiger.
Control roles remain largely unchanged, with long-stage Bibi Dong and the versatile A Yin continuing to define the standard setup. Support roles now warrant attention due to Ghost’s buffs, though the upgraded divine soul ring is not considered essential for average players. Finally, the defense category features Yan as a solid but situational option in PVE, fitting secondary control roles, while in PVP his damage bursts, restriction skills, and block mechanics make him a surprisingly effective threat, a closing observation that echoes the steady adaptability often associated with a Crickex Affiliate strategy focused on resilience rather than hype.
