Welcome back to our guild spotlight, where we peek behind the curtain at the adventurers bonding over 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH'. What’s the first thing you look for when scouting a new guild? Usually, it's the entry requirements, the policies, and that elusive 'vibe'. Today, we're introducing Saint, a guild that punches well above its weight despite its remarkably relaxed requirements. They prioritise autonomy over strict mandates, proving that you don't need a whip to foster serious growth. Let's hear how Saint is building a community where improvement happens naturally.

You don't need to be a tyrant to reach the top!

Q. Could you give us a brief introduction to your guild?

A. Hello! We are Saint, a community-focused guild that prides itself on being both relaxed and active. Whether it’s Guild Wars, Total War, or the Advent Expedition, we play it all without the stress. Our motto is mutual growth through cooperation and open communication.

Q. When was the guild founded?

A. We started on May 15th, the same day 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' launched. Many of us go back to the original Seven Knights and kept in touch, so the moment the sequel dropped, we knew it was time to establish Saint. We've grown steadily ever since as more like-minded players joined our ranks.

Q. What is the origin of the name 'Saint'?

A. While it has a literal meaning, for us, it represents 'being the force that cleans up the chaos on the battlefield and shifts the tide.' It also reflects our commitment to mutual respect and cooperation. Plus, it’s a cheeky nod to the popular character 'Shane'. We thought, 'What could we add to Shane to make it sound cooler?' and Saint was born!

Q. How did you handle recruitment?

A. Since we started with friends, we didn't worry about recruitment early on. As the guild expanded, we started using the in-game world chat. Lately, we’ve been recruiting through the official Seven Knights Re:BIRTH lounge.

Q. What is your biggest selling point?

A. We aren't a guild that obsesses over stats or efficiency. We care about the people, the atmosphere, and the camaraderie. We value mutual growth, so our guild content is about shared fun rather than hitting arbitrary power levels. Some might ask, 'Isn't the reward lower then?' We prefer to treat real life as the top priority, and that balance is exactly what we sell to potential recruits.

Q. What makes your guild so attractive?

A. Firstly, the atmosphere is incredibly free. About 15 of our founding members are still active today. That foundation of trust and comfort has held strong from day one.

Secondly, we provide extensive consulting before every season. We don't just play alone; we discuss decks, combinations, and strategies together. The more we talk, the better we get—it’s that simple.

Thirdly, we make active use of Discord during Guild Wars. We map out strategies and share real-time battle situations. It’s not just about the win; it’s about making the content richer through collective participation.

Q. What kind of new members are you looking for?

A. Since our roster is quite experienced, we currently prioritize those who have reached the 'Legend' rank in Total War. However, it's not strictly about raw power—it's about the willingness to participate consistently and grow with us.

Anyone who wants to play their part, cooperate, and achieve great results is welcome here. We believe in helping each other reach the next level.

The changing paradigm of PvE content following new hero releases

Q. What is your current status in Siege Warfare?

A. Siege Warfare isn't the most efficient use of time, so we take it easy. We use the sweep function to keep things manageable, yet our participation is high enough that we consistently secure SSS to EX+ rewards.

The Advent Expedition recently changed its reward system, so we’ve started treating it as a higher priority. We’re aiming for high scores by sharing new team comps and tactics to squeeze out every bit of performance.

Q. Are there any specific days you pay extra attention to?

A. As mentioned, we’re stable with our Siege Warfare rewards. Since everyone is well-established, we don't feel the need to micro-manage specific days.

Q. How do you tackle the Advent Expedition?

A. We don't enforce strict rules. We encourage everyone to participate in whatever way suits their schedule. It keeps the game fun without it feeling like a second job.

Q. Any highlights in recent PvE content?

A. We've been testing new heroes like Soi, Baekryong, and Guan Yu to see how they fit into our PvE line-ups.Our resident expert, 'Shyneris', is leading this research. When they find a potential breakthrough, it’s shared with the whole guild immediately, allowing us to adapt our tactics quickly.

Q. Is there any member with high Arena scores or unique strategies?

A. I’d like to introduce 'Jeollyong', a free-to-play player who has made a name for themselves in PvP despite not having the latest heroes or pets. By optimizing every resource, they’ve achieved 'Legend' in Total War. Their unique playstyle is an inspiration to all of us.

Q. What are your thoughts on the recently added Legendary heroes?

A. 'Lu Bu' has incredible firepower. The key is his skill structure that ignores enemy defense—he’s extremely efficient in specific modes. However, he’s fragile against status effects, so you need 'Kagura' or 'Branz & Bransel' to keep him safe.

'Ladgride' is a fantastic defensive hero, especially for backline support. She’s become a mandatory pick for defense-heavy teams to keep the squad alive.

'Reginleif' is interesting; I’ve used her at 6-transcendence, but she’s more limited than the others. She’s not quite a game-changer in the Arena, but her 'Immortality' passive and resistance make her useful for maintaining momentum, and she synergizes well with 'Melcure's' 'Magic Backflow'.

Q. What is your best pick among the 'Old Seven Knights'?

A. It has to be 'Gelidus'. He fits the current PvP meta perfectly with his status-effect attacks and 'Ice Pole' combo. His passive block rate and self-healing make him incredibly tanky. A well-placed 'Ice Pole' can turn the tide of a losing battle in an instant.

Q. What’s the guild’s verdict on the new 'Real-time Arena'?

A. Opinions are a bit split. The biggest issue is time—many of us have jobs or family commitments, making the schedule hard to manage.

On the other hand, those who could actually play it loved it. Being able to manually control your skills rather than relying on RNG makes it much more engaging.

In Guild Wars, you don't necessarily have to obsess over the 'Main Castle'!

Q. What is your current standing and policy for Guild Wars?

A. We focus on the big picture rather than individual battles. If we face a guild of similar strength, we focus on securing points in the outer and inner walls rather than rushing the Main Castle. It reduces unnecessary risk. It’s a strategy of taking what you can get reliably.

Q. Do you give specific orders during attacks?

A. No. We encourage freedom. We follow the broad strategy, but individual attacks are up to the members. That approach helped us reach our highest rank yet: 137th.

Q. Any memorable Guild War episodes?

A. Jeollyong was briefly in another guild, and we coincidentally matched against them in Guild War! We were all shocked to see a familiar name on the opposing side. They rejoined us right after that season. Perhaps it was fate?

Q. What are your unexpected 'Joker' picks for Guild Wars?

A. We use a single-attack deck centered on Ladgride. The strategy is to aim for a 'TOD' (Time Over Death) victory, focusing on winning the health percentage calculation. It's a clever way to leverage her passive.

Q. Any recommended set-ups for Guild Wars?

A. We encourage diversity. If everyone assumes a magic deck with 'Freya, Yeonhee, and Milia' is always fast, we use 'slow' internal settings to catch opponents off-guard. Because our members are free to experiment, we find these unconventional strategies often.

Q. Any particularly popular heroes in Guild Wars?

A. Heroes like 'Yui, Evan, and Li' are surprisingly popular. They are early-game Rare heroes, so opponents often underestimate them in defensive decks—only to find them impossible to break through.

Our member 'Duriseon' created this deck, and it became the cornerstone of our strategic operations. It has historical significance for our guild.

Saint's leap towards the Top 100 in Guild Wars!

Q. Are there any members you'd like to boast about?

A. I’d love to boast about our Vice Guild Leaders, 'Gabojagom' and 'Shyneris'. Gabojagom created all the strategic guides for defense/offense and keeps our Discord community thriving.

Shyneris is our expert on the God of Destruction and Siege Warfare. They share their know-how and provide detailed guides that have genuinely raised the combat power and unity of the entire guild.

Both are indispensable. We wouldn't be where we are without their efforts, and I want to thank them both publicly.

Q. What are your future goals?

A. In the short term, we’re focused on maximizing our God of Destruction scores. But more importantly, we want to strengthen the foundation of our cooperation.

Long-term, we aim to break into the Top 100 in Guild Wars. We’ll keep sharing our guides and strategies to ensure every member can grow together.

Q. Any plans for an offline meetup?

A. No plans yet. But if we’re still here by the time the game eventually ends? Maybe then we’ll consider it!

Q. Any wishes for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH'?

A. The best thing about this game is that you can reach the top through sheer effort. Of course, spending money makes it easier, but the fact that persistence and strategy are enough to stay competitive is refreshing.

I hope they keep this balance. If effort is rewarded, players will focus on the joy of growth and their own playstyle rather than just chasing stats. Adding some healthy competition will keep us playing for a long time.

Q. A final word for your members!

A. Don't stress over the game! There’s no need to be greedy; just enjoy it at your own pace. Games should be fun first. I’d rather we prioritize the experience and the people over points or rankings.

Saint is something we build together. Let’s keep helping each other, growing, and sharing good times. What matters is the journey, the people, and the experience we share. Stay relaxed and take care of one another!
