Let's be honest: the new hero 'Baekryong' in 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter 'SKRB') has been rather overshadowed by the simultaneous arrival of 'Reginleif'. Given that the arena has become the undisputed main event, Baekryong, a specialist in PvE, hasn't grabbed as many headlines. However, thanks to some exceptional defense-ignoring prowess and self-buffs, he has cemented his status as a primary operative for the high-end PvE content, the Destruction God Raid. KookminTree has broken down exactly how Baekryong is taking down the Destruction God with his nunchucks.

Q. What kind of hero is Baekryong?
A. He is a dealer designed to ignore enemy defense and dish out massive damage.

Baekryong features an incredibly intuitive kit. It’s not quite as simplistic as 'throw a spear to deal damage'—a trope gamers often joke about—but he sticks to the basics. His skill enhancements focus purely on cranking up the damage coefficients and buff efficiency. Plus, you can snag Baekryong for 7,000 'Winner's Medals', the currency for the arena, making transcendence quite accessible. Keep in mind that he is also available in the hero summon wishlist.

'Flash Ten Dance' deals defense-ignoring damage to a single target. At Transcendence 2, it heals all allies for 30% of Baekryong's physical attack. By Transcendence 6, the defense-ignoring efficiency climbs from 40% to 65%. Skill enhancements further buff the damage coefficient.

'Nunchuck Typhoon Strike' is another defense-ignoring skill, much like Flash Ten Dance. It boasts a higher damage coefficient and a 60-second cooldown, which is 21 seconds shorter than the former. The Transcendence 6 effect mirrors the efficiency boost found in Flash Ten Dance.

His passive, 'Legendary Resurrection', simultaneously applies 'Critical Hit Rate Increase', 'Defense Ignore Efficiency Increase', and the 'Martial Arts Realm' buff. Successful skill enhancements boost all these stats except for the Martial Arts Realm. The Critical Hit Rate jumps from 27% to 33%, while 'Defense Ignore Efficiency' scales from 5% to 10%. The exclusive 'Martial Arts Realm' buff reduces the physical damage Baekryong takes, though it significantly raises his vulnerability to magic damage.

Q. What are Baekryong's core buffs and debuffs?
A. Defense Ignore, Critical Hit Rate Increase, Defense Ignore Efficiency Increase, and Martial Arts Realm.

The heart of Baekryong’s kit is his defense-ignoring capability. In SKRB, defense-ignore buffs typically range from 40% to 65%, with the latter usually locked behind specific conditions. However, once you hit Transcendence 6, Baekryong’s core skills consistently output 65% defense ignore, making him perfect for high-defense targets. Factor in his passive's efficiency boost, and he boasts a total of 75%—the highest figure among all heroes in SKRB.

The 'Martial Arts Realm' reduces physical damage taken, enhancing his survivability in Sunday Siege and the Destruction God Raid. He is currently a staple for taking down the Destruction God. While he could technically be used in Sunday Siege, the current meta heavily favors single-target magic attackers, so there is no real need to force him into that role.

Q. How should I set up Baekryong's gear?
A. Aim for a Critical Damage build centered around the 'Avenger' set.

Baekryong is strictly for content involving a single boss monster. Consequently, there is no reason to equip anything other than the 'Avenger' set, which grants additional boss damage. Thanks to his passive and Transcendence 4 stats, his critical hit rate is naturally quite high—hitting 51% (33% from passive + 18% from Transcendence 4). You'll want to prioritize critical hit rate in your sub-options and focus on critical hit damage for your main weapon stats. Beyond that, keep an eye on 'Weak Point Attack Rate' and 'All Attack Power (%)'. Boosting attack power increases the healing output of Flash Ten Dance, while Weak Point Attack Rate supports the 'Weak Point Attack'—which deals even more damage than a critical hit. Just like the critical hit rate, the higher, the better.
