Last week, the 'Gongseongjeon' guild absolutely dominated, securing a triple crown by excelling in the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Castle Rush, Advent Expedition, and individual rankings. The former powerhouse 'Cheolgeo' has been unseated from the top spot in the overall Castle Rush score, pushed aside by the rise of the Gongseongjeon guild. It seems they are living up to their name, literally plastering their guild flag all over the Castle Rush map. KookminTree has crunched all the data for you.

Gongseongjeon breaks the top record in mid-term tallies

Here are the top 20 rankings for the 3rd week of March in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH. The surge of the Gongseongjeon guild this week is hard to ignore. After debuting in the top 20 just last week, they’ve vaulted twelve places to claim the number one spot in a single week. They’ve completely rewritten the status quo that the Cheolgeo guild once firmly held. Meanwhile, Cheolgeo, 'Sinwol', and 'Hwasanpa' have each slipped down by one position. Additionally, 'Bulgul', 'Dobal', 'Remember', 'Shabondy', 'Gongbu', 'Yeonggwang', 'Venezuela', and 'Jiok' guilds have newly entered the top 20.

Furthermore, the Gongseongjeon guild has broken last week's record in the mid-term tally for the Advent Expedition. While their members are undeniably skilled, they appear to be leveraging some new high-score tactics. Bulgul and 'Manwol' followed in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Sinwol, the sub-guild of Manwol, sits at 13th. Both Manwol and Sinwol finished in the top 5 last week, leaving us all wondering if they can maintain that form.

Individual ranking status: Most top-tier players have relocated

The rapid ascent of the Gongseongjeon guild and their score surge are largely down to their new roster. Most of the long-standing individual rankers have packed their bags and moved to Gongseongjeon. In fact, eight of the top 10 players hail from Gongseongjeon, with only 'Doljaengi' from Sinwol and 'Illyeok' from Cheolgeo holding their ground elsewhere. The top player in the integrated individual score is a bit of a dark horse we haven't seen at the very top before—it will be fascinating to see if the veterans launch a counter-offensive.

3rd Week of March daily Castle Rush results

Here are the daily results for the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Castle Rush for the 3rd week of March. Cheolgeo, which held the top spot from Monday to Thursday, has handed over all the crowns to Gongseongjeon. The newcomers have planted their flags on every castle, significantly boosting the previous top scores. The Immortal Castle on Wednesday saw scores smash through the 200 million mark for the first time, while the Podina Castle on Tuesday jumped by 20 million points in one go. It’s a welcome sight to see the magic-based Castle Rush, which usually lags behind its physical counterpart, finally showing some real signs of life.

This week's Castle Rush pick

Following the arrival of Xiao, the team composition for the Seven Knights Re:BIRTH Sunday Castle Rush has shifted. While the core heroes remain 'Miho - Xiao - Pascal - Biscuit - So-gyo', high-level players have ditched the traditional 'Balance Formation' for the 'Protection Formation'. Unlike the previous setup that relied on Pascal and So-gyo, the focus is now squarely on maximising Pascal's damage output.

Miho is now strictly relegated to clearing the first and second waves and utilizing her passive to boost the entire team's weakness damage.A key gimmick to watch in the Hell Castle is that attacking any monster other than Kris triggers a skill cooldown reduction effect for Kris. The secret to success? Target Kris and Kris only. Avoid using Miho's area-of-effect skills during the boss encounter. Survival is relatively straightforward thanks to the shields provided by Xiao and So-gyo, so you shouldn't feel too pressured.
