Greetings, everyone. Welcome to another edition of the Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (SKRB). During this lull in the update cycle, our adventurers at the official lounge have been anxiously awaiting fresh intel. Just as things were getting a bit quiet, Developer Note #35 dropped, teasing the arrival of a new hero, 'Nezha', a long-awaited rework for 'Lin', and a live broadcast schedule. I have gathered all the relevant updates and community buzz from the past week below.

Developer Note #35 Unveiled

The next update for SKRB is locked for April 30. The 35th Developer Note has certainly caught the eye of our regulars. The headlining news is the announcement of an upcoming live broadcast, scheduled for April 28 at 6 PM, just two days before the patch goes live. As such, this developer note was a bit more concise than usual, with the team promising to spill the beans on the finer details during the stream.

Despite its brevity, there were some intriguing bits. First, the debut of the new hero 'Nezha', associated with the Night Crow. Possessing the unique background of being a 'Spirit Master's Descendant', Nezha was a standout character in the original title for her chemistry with the Old Four Lords member, 'Kyle'. SKRB will launch her alongside the new scenario event, 'When We Became Each Other's Forest'.

Given that the Night Crow is a pillar of the main story, the new narrative prospects are quite exciting. Even the legendary Kyle-enthusiast 'Sangchuyang' went wild at the news. Finally, we might get to see the mighty Kyle getting schooled with a switch in SKRB. Was he actually hit? Who cares! Let's just say he was for the sake of the narrative.

Next up is the much-anticipated 'Lin' rework. The developers offered an apology for the delay, noting that they needed extra time to refine the balance and ensure everything is up to snuff. Following the successful rework of 'Teo', the community's expectations are hovering at an all-time high.

While the dev note ends there, the 'Content Note' shed light on improvements to the Guild War system. A promotion system is being introduced, splitting the competition into Major and Minor leagues. The Major League retains the classic rules, while the Minor League tweaks the base fatigue debuffs and the way combat information is presented. The general drift is to lower the barrier to entry and reduce content fatigue. For those interested, full details are available on the 'Developer Note' board in the SKRB official lounge.

Q. 'Ryan' keeps dying in Siege Defense.
A. Check your 'Hunter of the Strong' skill upgrades.

User 'Car Commuting 1653080' is a budding adventurer who has recently started tackling Siege Defense. They posted a query about Ryan constantly falling in the Castle of Death, despite having reached 12 Transcendence. Looking at the situation, it seems our friend forgot to upgrade Ryan's skills.

The community was quick to point fingers at the skill upgrade system, and judging by the user's thank-you note, that was indeed the culprit. Ryan's bread and butter is the 'Hunter of the Strong' skill, which taunts enemies for 2 turns. It simultaneously grants 'Physical Damage Immunity' for the same duration, making him effectively untouchable in the Castle of Death.

However, this immunity is locked behind skill upgrades. Since Ryan is a Legendary grade hero, you will need 'Shining Skill Upgrade Stones'. It is a top-tier skill that pays for itself, so stop hesitating and start upgrading.

Arena Challenge: 100 Matches!

A new Arena mission event has arrived. It is blissfully simple and comes with generous rewards. Every 10 matches, you get goodies like 'Hero Summon Tickets'. If you hit the 100-match milestone, you bag a total of 10 tickets.

The event runs from April 23 until maintenance begins on April 30. If you are already burning through your 'Arena Tokens', you will likely finish this naturally. Even if you are not a regular in the Arena, now is as good a time as any to jump in.

A 'Home' away from home

The 'Home' guild is recruiting, prioritizing joy over the suffocating grind of rankings. Their motto is to enjoy SKRB without the stress. However, there is a small barrier to entry to ensure basic participation: mandatory guild content involvement and a score of 4,000+ in Rare grade Total War.

They also place a high premium on communication, so joining their open chat is a must. If you think you are a good fit for their vibe, head over to the SKRB official lounge, search for 'Home', and drop a message via the open chat link in their recruitment post.

The Three Heads and Six Arms of 'Nezha'

The new hero Nezha is currently tearing it up as a main dealer in Siege Defense. As a magic-type attacker, she has dethroned the previous high-score king, 'Sun Wukong'. It seems these figures inspired by Chinese literature are taking turns at the top of the food chain.

The term 'Three Heads and Six Arms' (Samduyukbi) suggests immense power or extraordinary skill. While Nezha's actual model might not show multiple limbs, the idiom fits a hero who is shattering records left and right. I have included her confident standing illustration as a wallpaper for your perusal.
