[Meca Ranking] The stride of 'Bambit' toward the pinnacle of the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Siege Warfare rankings has quickened, jumping from 8th to 4th place in a blink. Meanwhile, 3rd place 'Romantic' has tightened the gap with 2nd place 'Byeol-byeol'. We haven't seen this much turbulence in the top 10 for a while, and KookminTree is here to break it all down for you.

Bambit charges into 4th place

Bambit, sitting at 8th in our previous count, surged to 4th in just one week, stacking up an extra 25 million points in aggregate. This push inevitably nudged 'Geunchup' down to 5th. Further down the list, 'OnlyLiveToday', who had slipped to 10th, has staged a comeback to 6th.

Arine, a guild that consistently churns out solo rankers, has also cracked the top 10. While the pack is closing in, the established guard—'Demolition', Byeol-byeol, and Romantic—have held their ground. Notably, Romantic has narrowed the gap with Byeol-byeol to just 2.5 million points while the leaders' scores stagnated. If this momentum holds, we might see a change in the 2nd-place spot sooner than expected.

Emerging Elite Guilds

The individual 1st place for the 3rd week of August goes to 'Ak-rim' from OnlyLiveToday. Having languished at 24th last week, Ak-rim has jumped 23 spots—a veritable express train of progression. Following in 2nd is 'In-ryeok' from Demolition, with 'Sang-myeong-dal' from 'Elite' taking 3rd.

Keep an eye on the Elite guild. Much like the overall points leader, Demolition, they have managed to place two rankers in the top 10. The rest of the leaderboard is shared between OnlyLiveToday (2), Byeol-byeol (1), Arine (1), Pirates (1), and Bambit (1). It will be fascinating to see if these rising guilds continue to push their members into the top 10.

3rd Week of August Siege Warfare Results by Day

Here is the chart for the 3rd week of August. Bambit’s rise is clear as day: 3rd on Monday, 4th on Tuesday/Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday, 5th on Saturday, and 8th on Sunday. Specifically, in the Castle of Death on Thursday, they climbed to 6th after being absent from the top 10 last week.

Demolition saw a slight dip in points, yet they remain unrivaled at the top across all categories. However, the gap is consistently shrinking. Their strongest performance was in the Castle of Death, where they pulled 83 million points—a 13 million-point lead over 2nd place Romantic.

Siege Warfare Picks of the Week

Today’s featured party is for the 'Castle of the Ancient Dragon'. As of the 3rd week of August, the top score of 3,194,253 was set by 'Dok-geo-buk-i' of OnlyLiveToday. Since Jave in the Castle of the Ancient Dragon inflicts Stun, Stun Immunity is non-negotiable. Also, given the magic damage mitigation, you'll want to build a party focused on physical attackers.

Dok-geo-buk-i used 'Rachel - Sieg - Taka - Lina - Yui' with the pet 'Irin'. Sieg serves as the Stun Immunity and backline physical attack buffer, Lina handles healing and damage amplification, Yui boosts team-wide physical damage, and Rachel acts as the defense-down/physical vulnerability debuffer to support the main dealer, Taka. This is currently the high-score meta for the Castle of the Ancient Dragon. Sieg can be swapped for Evan, and Rachel for Feng Yan. If you can't survive 70 turns, Evan's shield is a solid choice. Just keep in mind that while these substitutions are viable for survival, hitting the absolute peak scores might be off the table.
