Rhino's Noah posted earlier today on Mythgard's Discord the play rates of all Paths and Powers. The post only includes data for all cumulated ranks, as well for ranks higher than Mythril, but it should still give us a glimpse into how each Path and Power is performing overall. Here's what the distribution looks like:

Looking at the data, some interesting things come up:

  • For Paths:
    • Alliance Command Center is the second most used Path in both cases
    • Rainbow's End is the third most used Path across all ranks, and the most used one across Mythril and above
    • Rounding up the top 3s, Journey of Souls is the most used Path across all ranks, while Turn of Seasons is the third most used in Mythril and above
    • The top 3 most used Paths make up 48.2% of all Paths played across all ranks, and 53.3% above Mythril.
    • The least used Path in both cases is Rebellion Safehouse
    • The difference between the most and least used Paths is 9.8% across all ranks, and 10.2% above Mythril
    • Across all ranks, 0.0008% of players play without a Path (not pictured in the chart)
  • For Powers:
    • Mend, Bolster and Foresight are the top 3 most played Poweres, both across all ranks, and above Mythril
    • The top 3 most used Powers make up 64.1% of all Powers played across all ranks, and 57.9% above Mythril.
    • Mend's play rate gets cut almost in half between the two use cases, from 32.2% across all ranks, to 16.4 above Mythril
    • The play rate order of the other Powers does not chance between the other powers between the two cases, even if the actual percentage play rate changes
    • The difference between the most and least used Power is a staggering 28.6% across all ranks, and 21% above Mythril
    • Across all ranks, 0.0005% of players play without a Power (not pictured in the chart)
