A new hero, Kiriel, has arrived in 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH'. As a member of the Luminous Revolutionaries, she features powerful single-target attacks using magic arrows, as well as full-field pierce damage and paralysis effects. Her high survivability makes her a standout in the arena, and she also provides a permanent magic attack buff to all allies. KookminTree has analyzed Kiriel, who is expected to be a core piece of magic-based decks.

Q. What kind of hero is Kiriel?
A. She is a hero who gains attack power based on speed, in addition to her paralysis and pierce abilities.

Her passive, 'Festival of Stars', provides damage immunity [3 hits], a 'Power' revive that triggers once per battle, and a barrier effect equal to 135% of Kiriel's magic attack upon triggering the revive. As an additional passive ability, the magic damage of all allies increases by 17%.

Furthermore, she has an attack power increase proportional to speed, a capability shared with the previously released Colt. Attack power increases by 120 for every 7 points of speed, up to a maximum of 1,080. You can enjoy the maximum effect upon reaching 77 speed, and with skill enhancements, the maximum value expands to 1,320. In this case, the required speed is 77. Additionally, the magic attack increase value is boosted from 17% to 20%. When Kiriel reaches 6-transcendence, the barrier value increases from 135% to 155%, and 3 turns of crowd control immunity are added. Her basic attack gains a paralysis effect upon skill enhancement. Along with the skills introduced below, this is a vital ability for Kiriel, so skill enhancement is highly recommended.

'Regulus' is an attack skill that deals damage to a single enemy twice. When the skill is activated, it removes all debuffs on herself and stacks a damage increase effect equal to the number of removed debuffs. Note that the maximum number of stacks is 4. Upon reaching 2-transcendence, if an enemy is defeated with Regulus, it triggers a follow-up attack with 100% power.

'Meteor Shower' deals piercing damage to all enemies twice and inflicts paralysis. The paralysis effect has a 30% chance to trigger on each of the two hits, and this probability increases by 5% points to 35% upon skill enhancement. Even so, the probability itself is low, so remember that you will need the help of the Effect Accuracy stat.

Q. What are Kiriel's core buffs and debuffs?
A. They are 'Power' and paralysis.

As briefly mentioned earlier, Kiriel's core debuff is paralysis. It is an effect that prevents action during the duration and fixes the block rate to 0%. This allows you to ignore defensive settings often referred to as 'block-heavy' builds. Thanks to this, Yusin, who also possesses the paralysis effect, is being employed in the arena and all-out battles. When used with Yusin, the frequency of paralysis activation increases, and you can benefit from the Effect Accuracy increase of Yusin's passive. Coincidentally, Yusin is also a magic attack hero, so he receives the effects of Kiriel's passive.

'Power' is a quite powerful survival buff in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH. When taking damage exceeding current health, it allows the hero to survive once with 1 HP, preventing instant death. Additionally, when 'Power' is triggered, Kiriel's magic attack-proportional barrier is activated. This increases her survival time after surviving via 'Power'. Since her basic attack also includes paralysis, she can survive for a long time and lead the battle to an advantage.

Q. How should I set up Kiriel?
A. For her passive, prioritize Speed as the sub-stat and set Effect Accuracy as the main stat.

Kiriel's recommended sets are Assassin, Shaman, and Coordinator. Because her skill coefficients are high, you can use the Assassin set to increase critical hit rate and simultaneously set up critical damage to assist the follow-up activation of Regulus. The Shaman set increases the probability of paralysis, making it good for use in the arena. The recommended main stats are Effect Accuracy and Critical Hit Rate, and Speed should be prioritized as the sub-stat. You must reach 77 Speed based on skill enhancement. A 6-star Kiriel has a base speed of 29. Therefore, you need to achieve 48 through equipment options. Since it is possible to reach up to 12 per piece, focus on Speed when enhancing.
