On August 21st, 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB) released an update introducing the new hero 'Biscuit', along with skill remakes for legendary heroes and a rework of several gear set bonuses. The developers also adjusted the balance for the Tower of Infinity, Tower of Trials, and adventure stages, while expanding the difficulty for raids.

Biscuit joins the fray as a magic-type support hero. Their primary utility lies in buffing the ally with the highest attack power, granting them increased damage against bosses and a higher weakness attack probability. Biscuit also strips buffs from the three enemies with the most active effects and deals defense-ignoring damage. With a passive skill that permanently shreds enemy defense, Biscuit is expected to push heroes like Vanessa and Ace out of the raid meta. Alongside this release, a scenario event titled 'The Inherited Forge is on the Verge of Bankruptcy?!' has kicked off—clear the event stages to claim your rewards.

The update also includes skill remakes for legendary heroes Rachel, Sieg, Shane, Aragon, and Jupy. Rachel’s 'Flame' skill now includes a damage reduction debuff, and at 6-transcendence, it shifts from a single-target to a 3-target attack. Meanwhile, the 'Fire Bird' skill sees a boost to its base coefficients, and its skill enhancement now grants a higher defense reduction value.

Sieg’s 'Seal Release!' skill now includes a health recovery effect for all allies. The passive 'Trust Me' has been made less restrictive, changing the back-row buff trigger from a single skill use to every two attacks. For Shane, the 6-transcendence effect of 'Ghost Slash' now boosts damage by 50% for every debuff on the target. Since this stacks up to four times, that’s a potential 200% damage increase. The passive 'Devil’s Power' also received a 2-transcendence effect, adding a 20% damage increase per debuff, mirroring the Ghost Slash logic.

As for Jupy, the team has overhauled the passive 'Scales of God' and the transcendence effects. 'Scales of God' now grants immunity to all damage twice, and the 6-transcendence effect adds immunity to crowd control. The previous 4-transcendence effect, which granted a 20% weakness attack probability, has been swapped for an 18% critical strike rate increase. Finally, Aragon’s 'Artillery Support' now has a 70% stun chance when enhanced, and the 2-transcendence effect of the passive 'Majesty of the Veteran' has been changed from a 40% critical damage reduction to a 27% critical strike rate reduction.

Don't forget to check the changes to gear set options, which affect the Vanguard, Tracker, Paladin, and Guardian sets. The Vanguard set now offers increased attack power and 20% effect accuracy; the Tracker set sees a boost to weakness attack damage; the Paladin set gains a bump in HP and a 20% increase in healing received; and the Guardian set adds defense stats and 20% effect resistance.

The balancing act continues across the Tower of Infinity, adventure stages, and the Tower of Trials. In the Tower of Infinity, the weakness attack probability for all monsters on floors 80, 100, 190, and 201–250 has been set to 0%. For adventure stages, the developer removed speed-attack modifiers from the 'Stage 1' of every region in Nightmare difficulty and adjusted the placement of monsters with crowd control skills. In the Tower of Trials, Jave’s critical strike rate on floor 10 has been reduced to 0%. It should make clearing these challenges a bit easier.
