On September 18, 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB) introduced new heroes Klahan and Miho. While Klahan is tailored for mob farming, Miho is making waves with a kit specifically designed for Siege Defense. The latter is becoming a darling among top-tier rankers. With a main skill that hits three targets with magic damage, Miho is perfectly suited for tackling the lower-scoring dungeons like the Castle of Podina and the Immortal Castle. Plus, you can snag a copy of the hero through event rewards, which is a nice touch.

At Transcendence 6 Activation of additional damage abilities

Miho is a magic dealer specializing in three-target strikes. While the base skills provide standard damage, additional damage effects trigger upon reaching Transcendence 2 and 6. Skill upgrades, barring the passive 'Watchful Eye', simply inflate the coefficients. 'Watchful Eye' grants the entire party 'Lifesteal' for two turns after Miho uses a skill twice, allowing them to recover 20% of the damage dealt as HP. Furthermore, the party's Weak Point Attack damage increases by 23%—a permanent buff, unlike the Lifesteal effect. Successfully upgrading the skill also grants 'Authority', which activates once per battle.

'Dance of Slaughter' inflicts Magic Vulnerability on three enemies for three turns and deals damage. At Transcendence 2, it gains the ability to cleanse two debuffs from the back-row allies. From Transcendence 6, a successful Weak Point Attack triggers an additional 75% of magic attack power as damage. Finally, 'Blow of Arrogance' reduces turn-based buffs on three enemies by two turns while dealing damage, with a 6-transcendence bonus adding 85% additional damage under the same conditions as Dance of Slaughter.

Officially endorsed for Siege Defense

Miho was immediately recommended for the 'Castle of Podina' and 'Immortal Castle' in Siege Defense. This is largely thanks to the ability to strip turn-based buffs and deal damage. Currently, the Castle of Podina ranks second-lowest in average scores across the seven castles. The culprit? An 'All Damage Immunity' buff. Because all attacks—barring piercing—are nullified for two turns, it is devastating for score-based Siege Defense.

Previously, players used Sera for turn-based buff reduction, but top-scoring compositions often opted to exclude such units entirely. The logic was that it is more efficient to rotate through buffs during the immunity phase rather than slotting in Sera. Miho is shaping up to be the new solution to this conundrum. There is also a strong possibility that Miho will prove useful in the upcoming 'Advent Expedition' boss, Yeonhee.

Miho can also be utilized as a main dealer in the Immortal Castle. At Transcendence 2, the hero removes two debuffs from back-row allies. This perfectly counters the attack and defense reduction debuffs applied by Luri or Rachel, who are often positioned in the back row. While the cleansing effect is limited to back-row allies, the ability to maintain the main dealer’s firepower while providing sub-DPS is an attractive proposition. It will be interesting to see how much the high scores improve in next week's Siege Defense.

Weak Point Attack set recommended for Transcendence 6

The recommended sets for Miho are Vanguard, Tracker, and Assassin. At Transcendence 6, the Tracker set is the clear winner; prior to that, Vanguard and Assassin work just fine. As mentioned, the additional damage upon Weak Point Attack only activates at Transcendence 6. Therefore, before reaching that point, having a high Weak Point Attack chance offers little beyond the passive's existing damage boost.

Recommended stats include Weak Point chance, Attack, and Critical-related stats. As a main dealer, these are the top priorities. Since all Siege Defense stages where Miho shines already involve support units like Lina, prioritizing pure damage output over personal survivability is the far superior choice.
