On August 21, a new hero, Biscuit, arrived in 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). Always found at the equipment enhancement or crafting stations as an NPC, this character has now joined the fray as a playable hero. True to the profession of a blacksmith, the character possesses abilities designed to empower allies. However, these are not universal buffs; they are strictly reserved for raids—specifically against boss-grade monsters. KookminTree has analyzed the performance of this new raid-specialized buffer.

A supporter dedicated to boosting your strongest ally

Biscuit is clearly designed as a raid-specialized supporter, a fact that shines through in the skill kit. The primary skill, 'Equipment Enhancement', boosts the ally with the highest attack power. This effect increases damage dealt to bosses and the probability of landing weak-point attacks. It lasts for 5 turns, a capability unique to Biscuit among current heroes. When enhanced, the damage boost climbs to 40%, and the probability jumps significantly to 54%. Reaching 6 Transcendence even expands the target count from one to two, which is a lovely bonus.

The only offensive skill, 'Leap Attack', deals defense-ignoring damage to three enemies, prioritized by those with the most buffs, while stripping away up to two buffs from each target. When enhanced, the skill damage coefficient increases, with damage scaling based on Biscuit's magic attack and defense stats. The passive 'Blacksmith's Reinforcement' reduces the defense of all enemies—starting at 20% and scaling to 24% with enhancement. Furthermore, at 2 Transcendence, a 20% damage reduction for all allies against 5-man attacks is added. Given that raid bosses often rely on wide-area attacks, this significantly boosts team survivability. Basic attacks also apply a 2-turn damage reduction debuff when enhanced.

Biscuit is a supporter armed with 'buff removal and ally dealer enhancement'. These effects are perfectly tailored for raid content, and Biscuit will undoubtedly be a massive help for tackling the newly added stages 11-15. I recommend focusing skill enhancements on 'Equipment Enhancement' and 'Blacksmith's Reinforcement'. As for basic attacks and 'Leap Attack', they only offer minor coefficient bumps and debuffs, so good luck with that.

A guaranteed spot in the raid roster

The core strength of Biscuit lies in the super-enhancement of ally dealers. Since boss-target damage and weak-point attack probability cannot typically be obtained through hero kits alone—usually limited to equipment sets and option effects—Biscuit is destined to become a permanent fixture in raid parties.

Currently, in SKRB raids like 'Eye of Ruin', 'Ox King', and 'Steel Predator', a single dealer carries the entire load—namely Shane, Espada, and Pascal. By slotting in Biscuit, you gain constant defense reduction and main-dealer buffs, making these encounters much smoother than before. One caveat: the boss damage buff targets the hero with the highest attack power. If another hero happens to have higher stats, the buff might go astray. Fortunately, this issue is resolved at 6 Transcendence, as the buff target count increases from one to two.

Additionally, the combination of 'constant defense reduction and buff removal' is quite handy. Biscuit is also a strong contender for siege warfare teams. As a magic attack type hero with a 3-man skill, there is a minor damage increase bonus to boot.

Supporters need to stay alive for the long haul

For equipment, survivability is key for Biscuit. While 'Leap Attack' deals damage, it is merely incidental. You need Biscuit to stay on the field to maintain the 'Equipment Enhancement' buff and the passive. I suggest equipping the Paladin, Gatekeeper, or Guardian sets. Conveniently, the Paladin and Guardian sets were buffed in this week's update, so you can expect a noticeable boost in staying power.

Focus your sub-options on survival as well. However, if you want to contribute a bit more to damage, defense is a solid choice, as Biscuit's skill coefficients scale with 'Magic Attack + Defense'. Other stats like HP, block probability, and effect resistance are also welcome. Thankfully, since the buff effects are not tied to specific stats, you do not need to stress over hitting perfect rolls on every single option.
