'Cheolgeo', the top-ranked guild in the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH (hereafter SKRB) Siege Battle, has nearly hit a staggering 300 million points at the Ancient Dragon's Castle. It is a first since the inception of Siege Battle tracking. While the introduction of Ryan has clearly sent physical-type scoring ceilings into the stratosphere, I must admit I didn't expect such a meteoric rise. I’m quite curious to see if they’ll smash new records in next week's tally.

Recent trends in the integrated score rankings, featuring both climbs and tumbles.

Cheolgeo continues to hold the top spot in the SKRB Siege Battle this week. 'Cheongya,' which showed a sharp upward trajectory last week, maintained its 2nd place position. Conversely, 'ThankYou,' previously in 3rd, has plummeted to 10th. Despite appearing in the top 30 across seven different castles, their points failed to keep pace with the growth of other guilds. The now-vacant 3rd place has been filled by 'Leader,' who sat at 5th last week.

Several other guilds saw their rankings climb, specifically 'Sinwol,' 'Akma,' and 'Umigwan.' They finished at 4th, 5th, and 6th, respectively. Furthermore, nine out of the top 10 guilds have now surpassed the 1 billion point mark. It wouldn't surprise me if every single guild in the top 10 clears the 1 billion threshold by the next update.

Wolrang from ThankYou reclaims the individual 1st place

The individual leader in this week's SKRB Siege Battle is Wolrang from the ThankYou guild. A familiar face at the top, they quickly reclaimed the crown after slipping to 2nd place last week. In 2nd is Kkonnu from 'Dopamine,' who climbed three spots from 5th. 3rd place goes to Kijak from 'Meonji.'

The rest of the top rankers are as follows: Hibyeol of 'Neulgeurimyeo,' Jjang-a of 'Wol-a Cheongchun,' Junsurf of 'Geudeulmanui League,' Pyomu of 'Cheolgeo,' Taengeuni of 'Remember,' Rio of 'Supplementary Class,' and finally, Daeral of 'Umigwan.' Junsurf successfully defended their 6th place finish from last week. Once again, we see rankers from outside the top 10 guilds making their mark.

Siege Battle results by day of the week

Here are the SKRB Siege Battle results by day. The most captivating site is Friday's Ancient Dragon's Castle. Ever since Ryan from the Luminous Revolutionaries arrived as the perfect counter-pick, it has been recording growth unlike any other castle. In this tally, Cheolgeo achieved a massive 297.12 million points. I once speculated that reaching 300 million was inevitable, and that day seems to be nearly upon us.

Furthermore, the top scores for physical-type Siege Battles have all converged around the 200 million mark. I’m eager to see when the magic-type battles, held from Monday to Wednesday, will follow suit. I, for one, am hoping for a tailor-made hero just like Ryan to shake things up.

Siege Battle Picks of the Week

As previously noted, magic-type Siege Battle scores remain on the lower side. The highest score reached was 7 million at the Guardian's Castle on Monday. It’s a stark contrast to the physical-type battles that easily surpass 10 million points. Nevertheless, players are slowly nudging their scores up by swapping Lina for Orly.

Currently, the high-score composition for the Guardian's Castle is 'Evan - Miho - Biscuit - Ruri - Orly.' Orly's skill, 'Noble Meteor,' is quite handy; it deals magic damage to three targets while stripping buffs and reducing defense. This allows players to bypass damage mitigation and boost total output by lowering enemy defense. While Miho and Ruri are still doing the heavy lifting, I don't expect any dramatic record-breaking until a proper superior version of Ruri is released.
