Hello, everyone. It is time for another Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter 'SKRB'). It has been a whirlwind of a week as players scrambled to adapt to a meta that shifted overnight following the arrival of Lu Bu. Many adventurers have been busy tinkering with their line-ups, trying to slot Lu Bu into their existing teams or debating a total overhaul of their competitive rosters. As you would expect from such a popular release, the official lounge is currently ablaze with discussions and feedback. I have rounded up the key issues and community highlights for this week's Weekly Forum Highlight.

The 'Lu Bu' effect sets the battlefield on fire

The new hero Lu Bu is currently running roughshod over the battlefield meta, and the chatter on the official SKRB lounge hasn't stopped since his debut. The feedback from the arena has been pouring in, but one post in the 'Tips' section caught my eye: a comprehensive raid guide by an adventurer known as 'Meoseon'. They have gone into exhaustive detail regarding team compositions, gear setups, and their personal experience since Lu Bu arrived.

To give you the short version: Lu Bu is essential at Awakening 2, and highly recommended at Awakening 6. If you are a devotee of PvP, pushing for that 6th level is the way to go. For casual use, Awakening 2 is your minimum barrier to entry, while hitting Awakening 4 grants a neat 20% boost to your Weak Point Attack probability. Since each milestone offers tangible benefits, you should plan your summoning pulls carefully based on your current resources.

Beyond just Lu Bu, 'Meoseon's' guide is a goldmine for anyone looking to master raid team building or climb the high-tier arena ranks. If you are curious about the current PvP meta—whether it is speed-focused magic decks or resilience-heavy defensive walls—I suggest paying a visit to the 'Tips' board on the official lounge.

Q. When does my raid team change actually take effect?
A. Check before the battle starts at 02:00 and 14:00.

An adventurer going by the handle 'Fishing King Undead 1466' posted a query regarding the raid schedule. They tweaked their team around 14:30, only to find their old squad still doing the heavy lifting in the next battle. They wanted to know when the changes actually kick in. Another player, 'Senari Senari', provided a helpful breakdown: since battles begin at 02:00 and 14:00, you need to have your roster locked in before those specific times.

To elaborate, each raid round follows a strict cycle: 'Preparation (5 hours) - Battle (6 hours) - Settlement (1 hour)'. You must set your team during that preparation window. Since the daily reset for SKRB happens at 09:00, you have until 14:00 to adjust your teams. With the total cycle lasting 12 hours, the game runs two rounds per day.

In short, the preparation windows for your raid teams are 09:00 to 14:00 and 21:00 to 02:00. Keep these two daily slots in mind to ensure your changes go through.

Trude's Legendary 'Rockstar' costume summon

The summon event for Trude's legendary 'Rockstar' costume is now live. From February 12th until 08:59 on February 26th, you can try your luck using Rubies. Much like the previous 'Idol Yeonhee' skin, this is a legendary-grade outfit that completely overhauls the hero's appearance, illustration, skill effects, and even their voice lines.

Be warned, the cost in Rubies increases with every attempt. However, even if you fail to pull the costume, you will walk away with consolation prizes like 1 million Gold, 10 'Pick-up Hero Summon Tickets', and 20 'Key Boxes'—making the investment feel slightly less painful. Check the schedule and get to summoning if you want that Rockstar Trude.

Keep it casual: 'Walker'

The 'Walker' guild is looking for new members, pitching themselves as the perfect spot for players who prefer a relaxed pace. Their recruitment post is all about 'idle-friendly, casual vibes, and growing together slowly.' They describe themselves as a guild that accepts the occasional loss in guild wars as long as the members stay consistent. If you are looking for a new home ahead of the long holiday break, this might be your best bet.

I checked the in-game guild search, and it is a free-entry guild with very reasonable requirements. They ask for participation in guild wars regardless of the outcome, a 40% weekly attendance rate, and a contribution to the S-rank siege warfare. With an arena rank requirement of only Platinum, it is a low-pressure environment, so hit that join button if it suits your style.

Lunar New Year Event: 'Yui's' Hanbok

Following last week's 'Healing Maiden Karin', I have created a wallpaper featuring 'Yui' in her classic series-inspired Hanbok. Both outfits were released to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Yui’s look perfectly captures that unique SKRB flair, blending traditional Korean aesthetics with a modern, stylish twist.

Note that unlike the Evan and Karin outfits, Yui's New Year Hanbok is earned through an event. From February 5th to February 19th, you can snag it by completing the 'Lunar New Year Event Mission.' It is a simple task—just clear the 'Growth Dungeon' 3 times—so it will not take much of your time. If you miss it, it will eventually appear in the shop for Rubies, but I would recommend grabbing it now while it is free.
