The top-ranked guild in the 'Seven Knights Re:Verse' Siege, 'Cheolgeo', has hit a bit of a snag. Following their failure to achieve SSS rank in the Podina Castle during the second week of July, their scores for the Saturday and Sunday Siege sessions dipped yet again. While it is not a catastrophic drop that would shift the leaderboards entirely, cracks are starting to show in a throne that once looked untouchable.

In the meantime, 'OneulMansanda' is breathing down their necks, using this momentum to accelerate their growth. They have caught up to a similar score bracket, making a bold push for the top spot. We have also seen new guilds and individual rankers break into the Top 10. Check out the details of the third week of July in the Seven Knights Re:Verse Siege below.

OneulMansanda closes the gap

Nine out of the Top 10 guilds reached SSS rank in this tally, and Cheolgeo remains at the summit. However, the dynamics have shifted. OneulMansanda is in hot pursuit, matching the score prefix of the leaders. Both have now become the only two guilds in Seven Knights Re:Verse to break the 400 million point mark. With no other guild closing the distance to Cheolgeo quite like this, all eyes are on how this rivalry unfolds.

We also have a new face in the Top 10: 'Bambit'. After finishing 11th last week, they surged four spots to claim 7th place. Consequently, the former Top 10 regular 'Magi' has been pushed out. It seems the mid-to-high tier guilds are finally finding their stride.

Jingdasa reclaims the top spot

The individual leader for the 3rd week of July is 'Jingdasa', returning to the throne as if they were merely lending it to 'SajaB' for a while. SajaB, on the other hand, has slipped to 6th. We also saw a newcomer, 'Yokky', join the ranks. They are the only Top 10 player from 'MaoGuild'. Even though that guild didn't crack the Top 30 in the guild rankings, this individual member managed to pull in some serious points.

The number of Cheolgeo rankers in the Top 10 has dropped to three, while OneulMansanda has recovered to two. Interestingly, while Cheolgeo leads the guild rankings, they don't hold the individual crown; a player outside that guild has been dominating the top spot every week. Furthermore, the point gap between the top 8 players is razor-thin. It is a precarious tightrope walk where a single slip-up could alter the entire standing.

Siege results by day for the 3rd week of July

Here is the chart for the daily Siege results. Cheolgeo managed to recover in the 'Podina Castle' after failing to hit SSS last week. However, their scores in the 'Frozen Castle' and 'Hell Castle' actually fell. While they maintain the lead, the gap is narrowing.

Currently, the highest score comes from the 'Guardian Castle', where Cheolgeo hit 79,496,140 points. They will likely hit the 80 million mark by the next tally. Meanwhile, the Hell Castle remains the lowest-scoring stage and the only one yet to produce an SSS rank. Without a new hero specifically designed to counter instant-death mechanics, we shouldn't expect a dramatic increase in scores there.

This week's Siege picks

Today, we are looking at the standard team for the Guardian Castle. It is widely considered the easiest of the seven castles and the one where rankers pull their highest scores—which makes sense, given it is the only place where individual scores reach the 3-million range. Rudy doesn't pack much of a punch, so as long as you account for 'buff removal' and 'stun immunity', you are golden.

That said, you must respect the mechanics, as the shield values are massive. To handle this, most rankers use the 3-man magic dealer 'Ruri' as the main damage source, 'Yeonhee' as a buffer/sub-dealer, and 'Vanessa' for buff removal. Since every top ranker uses them, consider this the meta-standard. Round it out with 'Lina' as your support and 'Evan' for stun immunity.

A quick word of warning regarding Vanessa: her buff removal only kicks in from the second transcendence. If you are using a base copy, she won't be able to strip buffs effectively; in that case, 'Joker' is a viable alternative. Lina works fine for defense reduction debuffs even if Rudy isn't at 6-star transcendence, provided Rudy is in the front line. You could swap Ruri for Sera, but don't expect the same damage output.
