In the latest interim results of the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH 'Advent Expedition', 'Manwol' has seized the top spot. As a guild that consistently lingers at the summit, they’ve kicked things off in pole position this time around. It remains to be seen if they’ll retain their crown by the final tally. Meanwhile, the 'Sinwol' guild, having made quite a name for themselves in the Siege Warfare, claimed victory at the Castle of Death this Thursday. Both Sinwol and Manwol are delivering some truly eye-catching performances. KookminTree has dutifully compiled and analysed the current state of both Siege Warfare and the Advent Expedition.

Umigwan successfully makes a comeback to the TOP 10

Here are the TOP 20 rankings for the 1st week of March in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH. In the Siege Warfare category, the top five guilds managed to maintain their standing. Interestingly, 'Cheongya' and 'Iluna' held their ground despite a dip in scores. Conversely, 'Wolachungchun' saw both their score and rank slip, sliding two spots from 6th to 8th. After a rocky descent of seven spots last week, 'Umigwan' has climbed six places this time. They’ve returned to the upper echelons, but whether they can maintain this momentum is anyone's guess.

In the interim count for the Advent Expedition, 'Manwol' sits at number one, followed by 'Athene' in second and 'Yeonggwang' in third. Although it's only the midway point, the score gap is quite substantial—the difference between second and third place alone is around 50 million points. Notably, only Manwol and 'Dungji' were present in the previous final rankings. It seems that since the addition of the Advent Expedition Booster Mode, more guilds are opting to cram their efforts into the final days.

Personal rankings featuring rankers from the 'Siege Warfare' guild

Since last week, rankers from the 'Siege Warfare' guild have firmly established themselves in the personal rankings for Seven Knights Re:BIRTH, with three members currently in the TOP 10. 'Cheolgeo' has also produced three high-ranking players. That means between them, these two guilds hold six out of the top ten spots. The rest of the pack consists of players from Umigwan, Sinwol, 'GIGA', and 'Wolachungchun'. Unsurprisingly, 'Daeral' from Umigwan remains at the top of the personal leaderboard. Others are slowly closing the gap on Daeral's score, so we shall see if a new leader emerges soon.

1st week of March daily Siege Warfare results

A look at the daily Siege Warfare results for the first week of March. As we anticipated last week, the Castle of Guardians has become the first magic-based siege to smash through the 200 million point threshold. This is undoubtedly the ripple effect of the 'Sun Wukong' meta that took root in the Castle of Immortality. I'll break down the specifics of that composition shortly. In physical siege warfare, the Friday scores at the Castle of Ancient Dragons are particularly staggering, currently hurtling toward the 380 million mark. It’s looking highly likely that we’ll see our first 400 million score across all siege types soon.

The lowest scores for physical siege were recorded at the Sunday Hell Castle, while the Tuesday Podina Castle lagged behind for magic siege. Both, along with the Castle of Immortality, have yet to clear the 200 million mark. While the Hell Castle is seeing a gradual rise in potential thanks to the arrival of 'Xiao', the Podina Castle remains stagnant with its composition. A new hero, 'Reginleif', is scheduled to drop on March 5th, though we will have to wait until the update goes live to see if she makes the cut for siege warfare.

This week's Siege Warfare picks

Sun Wukong hasn't just shaken up the arena; he's completely rewritten the Siege Warfare meta. With his performance at 6-transcendence, he drove up scores in the Castle of Immortality—a place that previously suffered from low growth—and has now conquered the Castle of Guardians as well, utilizing the 'Evan - Biscuit - Sun Wukong - Lina - Miho' setup.

As with the Castle of Immortality, the key to this composition is maximizing the number of times you can trigger Sun Wukong's skills. Sun Wukong benefits from a cooldown reduction whenever he is attacked, allowing for rapid-fire skill usage. While Rudy lacks offensive moves other than his charge, making him less likely to draw attacks than Rachel, Sun Wukong’s sheer base stats compensate for this. Do keep in mind that this strategy isn't viable for players who haven't reached 6-transcendence with Sun Wukong.
