It is time for another guild spotlight, and today we are looking at the tight-knit adventurers of 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). Our focus falls on the Neon guild, a powerhouse currently holding EX+ in Siege Warfare, 118th in Guild War, and 68th in Advent Expedition. The twist? This is essentially a fresh face in the scene. Established on January 11, they have only been active for about two months—a blink of an eye compared to their peers. They credit their meteoric rise to sheer collective effort. Let us take a look at their journey.

Play freely, but shine bright like Neon!

Q. Could you provide a brief introduction to your guild?

A. Greetings! We are Neon, a group of dedicated SKRB enthusiasts who value both freedom and high-efficiency play.

Q. When was the guild founded?

A. We launched on January 11, 2026. I started with a light heart, fueled by fond memories of the original Seven Knights. However, the game systems were drastically different, and there was a moment I considered calling it quits. But the more I played, the more I discovered the unique charm of SKRB. Drawing on my experience running guilds in the original title, I decided to establish Neon here.

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

A. I felt the guild name was the most crucial element in our identity. Since we had to avoid duplicate names, our options were limited. After much deliberation, we landed on 'Neon' for its sophisticated and bright impression.

Q. How did you handle recruitment?

A. We actively utilised the 'Guild Recruitment' board on the official SKRB lounge. We used it for our initial push and whenever we had vacancies.

Q. What are your recruitment highlights?

A. Our slogan is 'Play free, but deliver clear results!' We focus on providing a comfortable environment for enjoying SKRB. We maintain high rankings without the crushing stress found in top-tier guilds. Furthermore, we advocate for clean communication and have zero tolerance for belittling or deceiving other players.

We do, however, recommend wrapping up guild content by 11 PM to prevent burnout, both for the members and the management. We also provide constant guidance on default Guild War decks and content optimization, which is a key pillar of our members' systematic growth.

Q. What is the guild's main appeal?

A. Neon is home to many skilled players tired of the competitive grind. Because of this, a culture of enjoying SKRB without stress has taken root. We strictly guarantee the freedom of each member while maintaining high game literacy. By voluntarily sharing information, we have created an environment where just chatting helps everyone improve. It is a charm born from growing together.

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

A. We recruit based on clear metrics. We look at data such as Siege Warfare results, Advent Expedition Destroyer settlement scores, or Total War grades. These figures objectively measure one's understanding of SKRB and their level of passion. Our current requirements are 14 million points or more in Destroyer settlement, 3 million points or more in all days of Siege Warfare, and a 'Legend' grade or higher in Total War.

And there is one more thing, perhaps the most important: Guild War. If you do not understand Guild War, joining is effectively impossible. Since this content requires mutual information exchange, if the other metrics measure game knowledge, Guild War measures your communication skills. Open chat participation is mandatory for smooth coordination, and we prioritize candidates skilled in strategy and high-spec players looking for a long-term home.

The yardstick for guild growth and passion: 'Advent Expedition & Guild War'

Q. What are your recent Siege Warfare scores and grades?

A. Recently, we have consistently landed within the top 100 in Siege Warfare, sometimes even breaking into the top 50. In the Advent Expedition, we finished 98th in the first season and 68th in the most recent one. Thanks to the constant growth and information sharing among our members, we have made quite a leap. We are working hard to keep Neon evolving.

Q. Are there any specific Siege days you focus on?

A. Given the current reward structure, motivation for Siege Warfare is lacking. Therefore, we do not focus on any specific day. We simply encourage all members to aim for the highest grade, 'EX+' rewards.

Q. How do you approach the Advent Expedition?

A. We aim to unlock the Destroyer by Friday at the earliest, or Saturday at the latest. Once we start, there are no rigid orders. Instead, we compile and share high-scoring combinations and tactics, and members voluntarily refine them into better builds. Sharing these improvements back and forth has become our culture.

Q. What points are you currently watching in Siege Warfare and Advent Expedition?

A. We compare scores between the previous and current seasons. We prioritize seeing how much everyone has grown and whether they are genuinely enjoying the content. Rising in rank is nice, but we value individual growth and the effort taken not to inconvenience other members above all else.

Q. Are there any members with high Arena scores or unique strategies?

A. There is a member named 'Joo'. They are a powerhouse, maintaining a 'Challenger' grade in the High-Rank Arena and staying at the very top of Server 2. They were not this strong when they first joined, but as they started having fun, they grew tremendously.

In Guild War, 'Jimin-u' stands out. While their strategy isn't necessarily 'unique', they operate their offensive decks with such efficiency that they serve as a role model for the guild.

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

A. Lu Bu needs no introduction—his skill set is so overpowered that we have to rack our brains on how to crack his defensive decks in Guild War. 'Rådgríðr' is similar; without the so-called 'Sol-Råd' strategy, we would be in real trouble. Like Lu Bu, we consider them over-tuned.

'Reginleif' seems to have a more balanced performance. While she doesn't seem to fit well in Guild War defensive parties, she is a fantastic choice for the Arena, Total War, and Real-time Arena magic decks.

Q. Among the five original Seven Knights, what is Neon's best pick?

A. The current trend heavily favors 'Gelidus'. As a universal type, he is useful in many areas and has excellent versatility. He is the most multi-talented hero among the original Seven Knights.

Q. What is the guild's feedback on the new 'Real-time Arena' content?

A. Unfortunately, none of our members focus on the Real-time Arena. Given our guild philosophy of avoiding stress, no one seems to have dived deep into it.

We pursue a Guild War without orders or spreadsheets

Q. What is Neon's current situation and policy regarding Guild War?

A. Although I mentioned the importance of Guild War earlier, we actually do not use spreadsheets or issue specific orders. Back when I ran guilds in the original Seven Knights, I used to write spreadsheets and issue detailed commands. I even hit 1st place that way, but it is not sustainable. Neon maintains a moderate tension so that all members can naturally find fun in a relaxed atmosphere.

Q. Any memorable Guild War opponents or episodes?

A. I remember the 18th Guild War, where our entry into the top 100 was on the line. We faced the 'Pure-blood' guild and had a tough time. We were clearly winning until we breached the outer walls, but we couldn't break through the 'Yeoppua' party with top-tier accessories in the inner sanctum. We ended up losing and finished 118th. It was a shame, but it remains memorable because we all gave it our best.

Q. Any unexpected 'joker' picks used in Guild War?

A. We have been actively encouraging two parties recently: 'Nia·Rosie·Freya (Nirof)' and 'Palanus·Rudy·Alice (Pal-Ru-Al)'. The former saw great success in practice, but the latter did not yield such good results. Strangely enough, I only seem to win when I use it myself, so it remains a slightly disappointing joker pick for me.

Q. Any popular combinations or heroes in Guild War?

A. For defense, I highly recommend using the 'Yeoppua' combination and 'Ra-O-El'. Specifically, for 'Ra-O-El', note that you must attach instant death engraving to a resurrection ring to make it work as intended.

A particularly popular Guild War hero in Neon is 'Vanessa'. Her cooldown increase skill is surprisingly effective, and many members use her as a main. While she is a bit out of the current PvP meta, she is Neon's unique joker pick.

The goal is to stabilize in the top 50 for the Advent Expedition!

Q. Any members you would like to introduce or boast about?

A. I would like to introduce 'Jeong-eu-ro', 'Jimin-u', and 'Windwhite'. They have contributed so much to Neon's operation and are pillars I can truly rely on. The early days of establishing a guild are the hardest, and I received so much help from Jeong-eu-ro and Jimin-u during that time.

And Windwhite is someone I used to run a guild with in the original Seven Knights. They empathize with the hardships and concerns a guild master faces, and I am truly grateful for them as my mental rock. Thank you all so much.

Q. What are Neon's future goals?

A. Our goal is to consistently enter the top 100 in all guild content. In particular, we plan to pour our efforts into the Advent Expedition, which offers great rewards. We plan to request the cultivation of relevant heroes to secure a stable top 50 spot.

On the other hand, Guild War lacks sufficient reward incentives compared to the effort required, so we will aim to maintain our top 100 standing. However, as we grow stronger every season, I think we might eventually set our sights on the top 50.

Q. Are there any plans for offline gatherings?

A. There have been requests for offline meetups in the past, but I did not push for them before stepping down from the guild master position. I would consider it if the members wanted it, but I probably won't be the one to initiate it. Maybe one day, when a better opportunity arises, we will meet.

Q. Anything you hope for in SKRB?

A. I believe Guild War is the main content of SKRB right now. It can be a source of stress for some, but when you get immersed, there is nothing quite as fun. However, the rewards are disappointing. I wish the developers would provide clear rewards so that all guild members can participate voluntarily. Even if it is not currency, honorary rewards like profile borders based on Guild War rankings or exclusive costumes would make it much more exciting. Right now, the rewards are so lackluster that I feel bad asking my members to work hard. I really hope this part is improved.

Q. A final word to your members!

A. When Neon was just level 1 after its inception, the only thing I had to offer while recruiting was the promise that we could reach the top 100. I believe we were able to grow to this point because you trusted me and the guild, despite me having nothing to show for it at the time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members who built our foundation.

Furthermore, to everyone who joined after seeing our vision, I hope we continue this good relationship for a long time. Please keep up the great work!
