There has been a seismic shift in the upper echelons of the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Siege Warfare rankings. The long-standing runner-up, 'Dictator', has suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving the door wide open for 'Cheongya' and 'Thankyou' to make their move. Meanwhile, previous stalwarts like 'Leader' (formerly 3rd) and 'Umigwan' (formerly 5th) have been unceremoniously pushed down the ladder.

Cheongya climbs to the second spot

While 'Cheolgeo' maintains its iron grip on 1st place, Cheongya and Thankyou have surged into 2nd and 3rd. Cheongya leaped from 4th, and Thankyou climbed from 7th, both hitting a massive 1 billion points in the blink of an eye. Elsewhere, 'Arine' moved up to 4th from 6th, and 'Demon' jumped from 10th to 8th. We also see 'Shinwol' crashing into 6th place, with 'Cooperation' making a welcome return to the Top 10.

As for the formerly 2nd-placed Dictator, they only managed to get five of their fortresses into the Top 30, causing them to tumble out of the Top 10 entirely. Currently, five guilds have cracked the 1-billion-point mark, and we expect that number to swell once the New Year tallies are in.

Cheongya's Cheoneon takes 1st place in individual rankings

The crown for the 4th week of December in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH individual Siege Warfare goes to Cheoneon from Cheongya. I haven't seen this name on the leaderboard before, yet they’ve managed to debut in the Top 10 and immediately snatch the top spot. Last week’s leader, Wollang, had to settle for 2nd this time around.

Meanwhile, Acrim from 'Lannister'—who was 10th—has clawed their way up to 3rd. The rest of the pack includes Ibyeonggeon (GIGA), Tangdaddy (COHO2T), Kkonnu (Dopamine), Junsurf (League of Their Own), Taengeuni (Remember), Daeral (Umigwan), and Pyomu (Cheolgeo). Interestingly, no single guild dominated the individual rankings with multiple members this week; it’s a refreshing burst of diversity. We’ll see if this trend holds.

Week 4 of December Siege Warfare daily results

Here is the breakdown for the week. After failing to secure 1st place across all fortresses last week, Cheolgeo has bounced back to reclaim total dominance within just seven days, holding their lead by a margin of roughly 2 to 3 million points. Notably, in the Frost Fortress—where Leader had previously taken the lead—Cheolgeo absolutely crushed it with 180 million points, outscoring Leader by a cool 20 million. With Cheolgeo back in the driver's seat, one has to wonder: can Cheongya and Thankyou actually mount a serious challenge?

Siege Warfare Pick of the Week

There has been a significant shake-up in the Monday-to-Wednesday meta for Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Siege Warfare. Players have started aggressively slotting in the magic buffer Orly, replacing the healer-buffer Lina to squeeze out those extra points. Taking it a step further, the Immortal Fortress setup is now even incorporating the physical hero Ryan—a character formerly ignored in this specific fortress.

Ryan’s passive grants a '3-target skill damage increase,' and the beauty of it is that it doesn't discriminate between physical and magic types. This has sent the damage output of main dealers Miho and Ruri through the roof. Furthermore, since the Immortal Fortress boss, Rachel, deals physical damage, Ryan’s 'Physical Damage Immunity + Taunt' allows him to soak up basic attacks with ease. It’s a brilliant bit of theorycrafting, and it just goes to show that these players never stop hunting for that perfect high score.
