Welcome, everyone. It's time for another Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). With the long Chuseok holiday looming on the horizon, we’ve seen a massive update. The patch was packed with significant additions, including the new guild content 'Advent Expedition,' associated gear, hero remakes, and a slew of holiday events. However, the talk of the town among adventurers on the official lounge was the debut of new legendary heroes, 'Kagura' and 'Amelia.' I've rounded up all the buzz from the community right here.

New Hero Update: 'Kagura & Amelia'

SKRB continues to pull hidden powerhouses from the archives. Following Miho and Klahan, Kagura and Amelia have arrived. Unlike their predecessors, who had very clear-cut use cases, these two are proving divisive. Adventurers are currently deep in the trenches, testing various setups to see where they fit best.

For the attacker Kagura, the key is the 'Indomitable' state triggered upon death—a brand-new mechanic for SKRB. While in this state, she buffs allies with increased critical damage, debuff removal, and boosted physical damage. She also clings to life with 1 HP while weathering eight hits; think of it as a nod to the mechanics of the Light Attribute growth dungeon boss. With added healing reduction and petrification, she looks set to be a real nuisance in the Arena.

Amelia, another attacker, brings her own flair with 'Concussion,' a CC effect that locks down enemies for two turns. A unique mechanic allows this duration to extend by one turn if she lands skills that hit twice or more. Combined with her 'Crisis Response' skill, which inflicts a 4-turn healing ban on the enemy with the highest defense, she looks like a solid pick for Guild Wars.

The community is currently brainstorming the best ways to utilize these two. For Amelia specifically, since players can snag a 4-star copy for 5,000 'Glory Pendants' from Guild War rewards, everyone is trying to figure out the most efficient way to use their base copy.

Q. Can I use the farming pets 'Mimic' and 'Du' together?
A. If the effects are different, they stack.

Pet optimization for 'Nightmare' difficulty farming remains a staple query on the SKRB boards. One user, 'NaverKingUncle1625,' is currently pairing Mimic and Du. While the 'Du' and 'Deoji' debate usually dominates this space, it seems we have a fresh topic this week.

The verdict is that you get both benefits if you use Mimic and Du together. One increases gold acquisition, while the other boosts the drop rate for gear and accessories. As long as the effects aren't identical, they will stack—keep that in mind for your next run.

'Full Moon Festival' - 3 New Costumes Released

Chuseok has brought some iconic looks back to SKRB. We’re talking about the fan-favorites from the original: 'Admiral Rudy,' 'Night Goblin Karma,' and 'Eowudong Rina.' Naturally, there's a launch discount on the table.

All three are Rare-grade costumes, currently discounted to 3,000 Rubies each. They’ll jump to 5,000 Rubies once the sale ends, so don't dawdle. The discount period runs from after the maintenance on October 2 until the maintenance on October 16.

Aiming for the Top: The 'Butterfly' Guild

The new 'Advent Expedition' kicks off its first season on October 6. Since it requires a Guild Level of 10, established guilds have been aggressively recruiting. The 'Butterfly' guild has even launched a second branch, also named 'Butterfly,' to accommodate more members. The charm here is that the two branches have different entry requirements, letting players pick their pace.

The primary 'Butterfly' guild maintains an SS~SSS rank in Siege Defense and sits within the top 5% of Guild Wars. Requirements include being Master rank or higher in the Arena, 600k+ in Siege, and at least 2-transcendence biscuits. If that sounds too intense, check out the second 'Butterfly' branch—all they ask for is 200k+ points in Siege, making it much more casual.

Thanks to their active promotion, both branches look pretty full. These guilds are popular, so if you're interested, it's best to reach out to them early. Search for 'Butterfly' on the SKRB official lounge and drop a comment if you want a spot.

The Succubus Queen, 'Sara'

While many adventurers might dismiss Sara as a common mob, she is a legitimate Rare-grade hero who holds her own in the 'Avenger's Hell' main stage. Her lore claims she’s lived for ages to become the Succubus Queen, and the game notes that she's only become more beautiful with time.

Before launch, the model comparison between the original and the remake highlighted Sara as a prime example of a glow-up. She became a bit of a local celebrity for her adorable succubus aesthetic. The only downside was her performance; while she provided defense reduction for three enemies and team-wide debuff removal and defense buffs, burning a precious skill turn for it was a tough sell.

Fortunately, this update gives her a stage to shine. A skill remake has added 'Sleep Immunity' to her passive. It’s highly likely she’ll be a mandatory pick for the 'Yeonhee' raid in the Advent Expedition. The wallpapers below feature the standing illustration of 6-star Queen Sara.
