[size=5]Stats - Dominance[/size] The one that everyone looks forward to.... 52 more weeks have passed since I last shared the status of flight dominance for the year, and the results are here! Water had the first dominance of the Flight Rising year, which started on 9th June (same as last year, funnily enough) It’s currently unknown who will have the last dominance of the Flight Rising year, as that is June 7th (the day before FR's birthday). However, it is currently looking like it will be Earth. Due to this, the stats are currently missing 1 week, but this will be added once Sunday rolls around. The Beastclans decided to make an appearance in the top 3 13 times this year. They are getting smart. Be afraid. Very afraid. But thankfully they haven’t gotten a 1st yet. Hopefully it will stay that way. Earth made the most appearances on the board (including 1sts, 2nds and 3rds), currently sitting at 48/52....this will more than likely be 49/53...so congrats Earth, you beat last years record! Shadow made the least amount of appearances on the board (including 1sts, 2nds and 3rds); 3 times. But I still love them <3 Once again, special thanks to the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1001338]Dominance Tracker[/url] ran by [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=9861]Alisette[/url], and the [url= https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T7vwKXDfKUv5P3wPhlX7IS_RrxLGPotic4GS9yQcX2w]Dom Watch dominance stats[/url], made by Sunny Day (if anyone knows the FR user who made this, please let me know so I can properly credit them!)

Closing note

4th year of making these stats, and stuff still surprises me to this day. Did anything this year surprise you?

Wonder if we’ll get more ancient breeds....will a new modern breed finally release? Will the fabled adventure mode finally come out pls admins iv’e been asking since 2017. Earth doesn’t seem to be letting their guard down with dominance...will someone topple them?? Will they go for a perfect score of being in the top 3? Only time will tell....

Happy 7 years Flight Rising!

Thread is safe to post in now :^)
