'Seven Knights Re' (hereinafter Seven Knights Re) has crowned a new monarch in its siege warfare. The protagonist is the 'Cheolgeo' guild. After showing flashes of brilliance last week, Cheolgeo has dominated the leaderboards across all siege modes in this week's tally. The gap between them and the runners-up is staggering, suggesting a long reign ahead. While guilds like 'OneDayLive' and 'ByeolByeol' are pushing hard, the chasm is already too wide to bridge overnight.

Furthermore, starting this week, we are introducing an integrated personal ranking system. It is time to spotlight not just the guilds, but the individual 'rankers' who are carving out their own legends. Let us dive into the inaugural results.

Cheolgeo reigns supreme across all siege modes

Cheolgeo is the first to achieve an average SSS grade. They secured a lead of approximately 70 million points over last week's leader, Heukudan. While Heukudan also saw their score climb, it wasn't enough to keep pace with the growth of others, pushing them down to 4th place. OneDayLive climbed to 2nd, adding roughly 47 million points, while ByeolByeol slipped to 3rd with a 23 million point increase.

The 'Ranker' guild has fallen out of the top 10, replaced by the newcomer 'BamBit' in 9th. With the bottom half of the top 10 shuffling weekly, the competition among the upper echelons is clearly intensifying. Since no guild has seen a drop in scores yet, the race toward the horizon shows no signs of slowing down.

July Week 1 Individual Ranking: 'Jingdasa' takes the lead

This is our breakdown of the individual integrated scores, a segment dedicated to identifying the high-achieving players in each siege. We calculate this by aggregating the top 100 individual scores. While we only highlight the top 10 here, it is worth noting that 17 players managed to place in the top 100 across all seven siege modes.

The inaugural top spot goes to 'Jingdasa' from the ByeolByeol guild. Jingdasa is the sole representative of ByeolByeol in the top 10. Even without taking 1st in every single mode—Jingdasa only topped the Thursday Delons siege—the cumulative score was enough to clinch the overall lead. The lowest score recorded in the top 10 was 3,048,526 points at the Wednesday Rachel siege, placing 34th.

Cheolgeo predictably boasts the most top 10 rankers, with three individuals making the list. 'NationalPowerLevel' follows, producing the 3rd and 9th place rankers. One name stands out: 'Geureolsudoitje' from the 'Sebungi' guild. Despite the guild not cracking the top 30, this individual player sits at 4th in personal scores. It is frankly terrifying that a single member—not even the guild master—is pulling such weight. Other spots were claimed by rankers from 'Arine' and 'ChijijikBakdeukcheon'. We shall see if new contenders rise or if these ten maintain their grip.

July Week 1 Daily Siege Results

The results chart for the July Week 1 siege shows that the minimum grade for all modes has solidified at SS. The 'Sanctuary of Guardians' (Monday) and the 'Castle of Frost' (Saturday) recorded the most SSS grades. Outside of Cheolgeo's dominance, SSS grades were non-existent on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The 'Hell Castle' (Sunday) remains the final frontier yet to be conquered with an SSS grade.

Judging by Cheolgeo’s trajectory, we might see the first SSS there in the second week. As the rankings show, Cheolgeo’s scores are simply on another planet. The same applies to the Hell Castle; Kris is putting up a stubborn fight, but it seems only a matter of time before the castle bows down.

This Week’s Siege Pick

Let us look at the 'Castle of Death' party, which relies on heavy single-target damage and silence. As of July Week 1, Jingdasa of ByeolByeol set the high score at 2,534,096. Since every enemy inflicts silence—which seals your active skills—bringing silence-immune heroes is non-negotiable.

Silence-immune 'Jin' and the physical-immune tank 'Li' are mandatory. For the remaining slots, you want 3-hit physical damage dealers. The top picks are 'Taka', 'Pungyeon', and 'Bidam'. Jingdasa opted for 'Lina' as a healer/debuffer and 'Ace' for consistent defense reduction. While Ace lacks a 3-hit skill, the second skill 'Ildocheonhwahyeop' adds a physical vulnerability debuff, which seems to be the tactical choice here. Since enemy Delons spawns in the front row, Lina’s defense reduction—even at level 0—is effective because its range is limited to the front.

If you lack Taka, I suggest Pungyeon. With two turns of total damage immunity, Pungyeon can survive against Delons if you clear the initial wave quickly. Just remember that Taka requires passive skill enhancement to truly survive. Alternatives include Yui over Lina or Eileen instead of Ace, as Eileen brings a passive buff to the physical attack power of your squad.
