On 30 April, Seven Knights Re:BIRTH (hereinafter SKRB) dropped its latest update, introducing the new legendary hero 'Omok'. Alongside this arrival, the team rolled out a massive content patch, including balance adjustments for existing heroes and the official start of the 'Real-time Arena' regular season.

Omok, who joined the fray today, is a Magic-type hero hailing from the 'Night Crow' faction. With a basic attack, she boosts the magic damage of two allies—excluding herself—by 10%. Her 'Dance of the Fierce Tiger' skill targets the enemy with the highest defence to trigger a health conversion. But that’s not all; she also grants a 'Guardian Spirit' buff to all Magic-type allies. This buff provides immunity to all damage and crowd control after two turns, giving your magical squad a significant boost in survivability.

The 'Full Moon Cart Fierce Tiger War' skill is also worth your attention. It deals 70% of magic attack damage to all enemies and inflicts additional damage equal to 7% of the target's max HP twice. It’s particularly lethal at 6-transcendence, where it ignores 65% of the target's defence. Furthermore, her passive 'Blessing of the Divine Tree' grants her 'Camouflage', making her untargetable by single-target attacks, while simultaneously buffing the magic attack power of all allies.

The new hero isn't the only change; existing legendary heroes 'Rin' and 'Luri' have undergone a remake. Rin’s 4-transcendence effect now increases weak point attack probability, and the 'Dragon Scale Rain' skill’s turn-based buff reduction now applies before the damage hits. Her passive, 'Red Scale Cannon', now allows her to recover immunity counts, significantly boosting her longevity. Luri, meanwhile, gets a permanent weak point attack probability increase on her 'Back-alley Deal' passive, with transcendence effects now focusing on boosting weak point attack damage.

Furthermore, the Real-time Arena has officially launched its regular season. Matchmaking encompasses all regions, following a schedule of four weeks of battle and two weeks of rest. Guild Wars are also seeing a shake-up, with groups split into 'Major' and 'Minor' tiers based on past performance, with promotion and relegation on the line. They’ve also added a 'Combat Fatigue Debuff' system, which triggers based on the number of wins a defensive team secures, adding a layer of strategic depth.

SKRB hasn't forgotten about quality-of-life improvements, either. A 'Wish List' has been added to hero synthesis, and the pity gauge system has been tweaked to improve the acquisition rate of (Old) Seven Knights heroes. They’ve also slapped a level requirement on 1:1 chat to keep the spam at bay.

Various events have kicked off as well. You can dive into the new scenario event, 'When We Became Each Other's Forest', to catch a glimpse of the new hero’s backstory and earn rewards for clearing stages. With Children’s Day approaching and the game’s first anniversary on the horizon, celebratory events are already in full swing.For the full breakdown of patch notes and event details, head over to the official SKRB community forum.
