Hello there, and welcome to the Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Blade & Soul Revolution'. We are rapidly approaching the moment when the ultimate 'Yeok-wang' team for the Revolution Challenge Season 7 will be crowned. While the Round of 16 and Quarter-finals felt like a light warm-up, the air has grown significantly heavier as we prepare for the final stretch. I’ve been quietly waiting for the semi-finals while keeping an eye on the match predictions. Here is a summary of the latest community buzz and essential news.

Don't Miss the 'Revolution Challenge Season 7' Live!

It is the final day of the 'Revolution Challenge Season 7', where teams battle for the ultimate title. With only the semi-finals and the grand final remaining, it is time to witness the climax of the tournament with some high-octane commentary. The broadcast team features the familiar trio of 'On Sang-min, Jung In-ho, and B&S Hodin', a lineup that has clearly stoked the excitement of our fellow players.

Players are heavily leaning towards 'Hot Deal' in the first match and 'De-het' in the second. Furthermore, an overwhelming 88.1% of voters predict that 'Hot Deal' will take home the final trophy. It seems the reputation of their star-studded roster makes the power gap quite visible to the community.

However, the true beauty of the Revolution Challenge lies in the potential for a complete upset. Since the semi-finals and finals are played in a best-of-five format, the team PvP element acts as a massive wildcard. Even if a team drops both 1vs1 sets, they could potentially sweep the 2vs2 sets in games 3, 4, and 5. Strategy and class composition can easily flip the script, regardless of raw power.

The final stage of the Revolution Challenge Season 7 takes place today, February 6th, at 7:00 PM. You can catch the action live on the official Blade & Soul Revolution YouTube channel. Make sure to tune in, as we will be dropping more live broadcast coupons, just as we did during the previous rounds.

Issue Q&A

Q. Can a Force Master block the bead mechanic of the Emperor of Pacherin?
A. Check out the 'Frost Wave' skill, which includes a block during casting!

Ever since the new Pacherin Tomb dungeon update, our forum has seen a surge in recurring questions. The bead-blocking pattern of the Emperor of Pacherin is a frequent topic, likely because it is a mechanic unlike anything we have seen before. This week, a user named 'Hasidari' reached out to ask if a Force Master has any way to handle this.

A player named 'Jjokko' responded by suggesting a closer look at the skill descriptions. They highlighted the text, 'Block enemy attacks from the front while casting,' confirming that a Force Master can indeed block it with Frost Wave. Just make sure to time your button presses carefully.

Good Fortune! The Year of the 'Red Horse'

With the dawn of the Year of the Red Horse, Blade & Soul Revolution launched the new 'Good Fortune' server. The schedule graphic featured a character presumed to be 'GM Harin' wearing a red horse hat and looking quite spirited. Inspired by this, KookminTree has chosen the red horse as our Nonogram theme.

As it represents the year 2026, we’ve kept the difficulty level quite low. We hope everything goes smoothly for you this year, so we opted for a clean background. You should find the rows of 15s quite satisfying to clear. The matching puzzle piece for next week shouldn't be too tricky either, so give it a go.

Blade & Soul Revolution Wallpaper

Hongmoon School's Third Disciple, 'Gilhong'

This week's wallpaper features a character you might miss if you don't play alternate characters. It is 'Gilhong', the disciple from the Hongmoon School who appears very early in the Blade & Soul Revolution story. If you remember the scene right after character creation where you and Jinyoung are waking someone up, that is him. He is a Jin race swordsman who doesn't have a massive role, but he is there.

Believe it or not, the hierarchy goes: Youngmuk the first, Musung the second, and Gilhong the third. With Jinyoung, Hwajung, and the player following, he is quite senior from the 'Maknae' (youngest) perspective. While he might be a passing presence, for those of us who look back at the old Hongmoon School with nostalgia, he is a cherished memory. I’ve put together this wallpaper to commemorate him and the days of the Hongmoon School.
