It's time for a guild interview to meet the tightly-knit adventurers in Seven Knights Revolution, hereafter referred to as SKRB. If you glance at the 'Guild Promotion' board on the official SKRB lounge, you'll find quite a few guilds carrying on the legacy of the original Seven Knights. Some of these connections span over a decade. Today, we met with 'Cyder,' one such guild. Their original members have reunited, and with new recruits, they're actively engaged in the game. Let's dive into their guild story and see how they're faring in SKRB.

Cyder Guild: Carrying the Legacy of Original Connections and a Storied History

Q. Could you briefly introduce your guild?

A. Greetings! Cyder was formed primarily by original members who played together during the Seven Knights era. Back then, we were twenty-year-old university students, and now we've all grown into working adults, illustrating just how long our history is.

Currently, our guild comprises members aged 20s to 40s, all enjoying SKRB together. Beyond a simple gaming group, Cyder's true asset is the deep-rooted mutual respect and consideration among us. In our guild's open chat, we share strategies and tips for core content like Guild Wars, Sieges, and the Arena.

Q. When was the guild founded?

A. We opened our doors on May 15, 2026, coinciding with the official launch of Seven Knights Revolution. We gathered with the intent to continue the long-standing relationships forged in the original game with our initial members.

Q. What's the origin of the guild name, Cyder?

A. Our original intention was for a refreshing name, like the carbonated drink 'Cider'. However, when founding the guild in the original game, we mistakenly typed the spelling as 'Cyder'. At first, we considered remaking it, but it ended up feeling unique and endearing. So, we decided to carry on this tradition in SKRB.

Q. How do you primarily promote the guild?

A. We mainly use the Naver Game official lounge for promotion. We actively recruit new members whenever slots become available.

Q. What's your key promotional point?

A. Cyder has a balanced mix of light and heavy users. This diversity allows us to provide advanced information and optimised builds tailored to each member's playstyle. The ability to learn anything quickly based on this foundation is our biggest promotional advantage.

Q. What's the charm of your guild?

A. We offer an environment where members can focus solely on SKRB. Many are united by a pure passion for SKRB, without unnecessary social interactions or personal conflicts. Joining our guild provides an optimal environment for sharing deeper strategies and tips.

Q. If you were to recruit new members, what kind of people would you be looking for?

A. As mentioned, we don't heavily focus on social gatherings, but we value relationships. Much like our original members who continue to play together, we're looking for individuals who will enjoy the game with us for a long time in SKRB.

Guild Content's Top Priority: 'Manifestation Expedition'

Q. What have been your recent results in Sieges and Manifestation Expeditions?

A. For Sieges, our basic goal is to maintain the highest tier, 'EX+', which we're currently achieving. For Manifestation Expeditions, we consistently secure rewards within the top 20%, operating stably.

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

A. Recently, we don't specifically target certain days. Our priority is achieving the highest grade daily, rather than focusing solely on rankings. We manage this at the guild level to ensure no one misses out on rewards.

Q. What's your guild strategy for Manifestation Expeditions?

A. Our primary focus is disseminating the latest strategies. We share meta compositions and setups for breaking personal best scores with guild members in real-time. We've set up an alarm system in our open chat to ensure all guild members are notified to use their entry tickets without fail.

Q. Are there any points you're particularly focusing on in the recent Manifestation Expedition?

A. We're concentrating on achieving rankings for better rewards. Before the Destroyer God appears, we aim to defeat the four Gu-sa-hwangs as quickly as possible and dedicate all available resources to breaking the Destroyer God's score. We efficiently distribute the parties completed by each guild member to ensure no entry tickets are missed. This strategy is possible thanks to the active communication from all our guild members.

Q. What's your evaluation of the recently added Legendary Heroes?

A. First, the magic-type hero 'Omok' is great for PvP, but its efficiency in 'Jjol-jjol' farming is particularly noteworthy. It has a solid position as a crucial 'Jjol-jjol' hero in SKRB. Additionally, its excellent utility shines in Guild Wars. We've given it a high rating due to its wide range of applications.

Karl Heron is somewhat lacking in appeal as a physical damage dealer. However, it's a welcome addition for guild members who prefer offensive compositions, expanding their team-building options. It's also a surprisingly tricky pick in Guild Wars, making it quite useful.

PvP Content's Popular Hero: 'Gelidus'

Q. From the original five Seven Knights heroes, which is the best pick according to Cyder guild members?

A. Without a doubt, it's Gelidus. Its ability to create unpredictable variables is unparalleled, making it an irreplaceable core hero in PvP content like the Arena and Guild Wars.

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

A. We have a skilled player who consistently maintains the Master tier in the Arena with minimal reliance on legendary rings. The hero he frequently uses for this strategy is also Gelidus. Given the limited ways to obtain certain resources in the original Seven Knights, he actively utilizes 'Melkirs Laboratory' to increase its transcendence level. Based on this, he's developed a unique operational system focused on freezing and defense. Many guild members have been inspired by this, and he serves as a prime example for Arena strategy within the guild.

Q. What's the current status and policy for Cyder's Guild Wars?

A. We're currently aiming for the upper ranks of the Minor League, with the goal of being promoted to the Major League next season. With this in mind, all guild members are in the process of completing their five-team formations. We operate under the principle of 'At least 1-2 defense teams mandatory, use all attack attempts,' with real-time checks. We designate specific times for Guild War focus and, beforehand, establish attack targets and tailored strategies. Once preparations are complete, we communicate via open chat to efficiently attack the outer and inner castles.

Q. Do you have any memorable opponents or episodes from Guild Wars?

A. Every match is quite intense, so we don't have any particularly standout episodes. The process of advancing towards victory through fierce tactical battles itself brings great joy to all our guild members.

Q. What's Cyder's key pick for Guild Wars?

A. Combinations of utility heroes like 'Choseon, Omok, Landgrid' are popular. We use these to execute strategies that break through the defensive formations often called the 'staple composition' in Guild Wars. Additionally, we broadly utilize heroes with high individual stats, such as 'Landgrid' or 'Yeopoh'. We believe that deploying offensive and defensive teams appropriately according to the characteristics of the outer and inner castles is crucial for victory or defeat.

Q. What's the guild's assessment of the new 'Real-time Arena' content?

A. With the recent official season update, the content has become considerably streamlined. The new reward system is also quite reasonable, and all our guild members are enjoying it with satisfaction.

Cyder's Driving Force: 'Effort & Communication'

Q. Are there any guild members you'd particularly like to introduce or praise?

A. It's difficult to single out specific members. All our Cyder guild members, who always give their all in guild content and eagerly await new updates, are our pride!

Q. What are Cyder's future goals?

A. Our primary goal has always been to enjoy games together for a long time, right from the original Seven Knights. In SKRB too, we aim to continue playing together for a long time and strive for higher rewards. In doing so, we will become an even more robust Cyder.

Q. Do you have any plans for offline gatherings?

A. We don't have any plans for offline gatherings. All our guild members prefer to continue enjoyable communication through SKRB in a comfortable online environment.

Q. Do you have any wishes for SKRB as it approaches its first anniversary?

A. We hope to see more diverse PvE content. In-depth PvE content is the key element that can embrace both new and existing users. We believe it's the driving force that enhances the value of cultivated heroes and allows us to move towards our next goals.

Q. Lastly, any message for your guild members?

A. Although various guild members have come and gone since the launch of SKRB, I want to express my gratitude to those who have steadfastly stayed with Cyder. I believe we are where we are today thanks to everyone's shared heart and intent for the guild, enabling rapid information sharing and communication.

I acknowledge the efforts of everyone, to the extent that I wish I could thank each one individually. It's thanks to the guild members who quietly worked on recruiting new members without being asked, those who proactively took charge of setting up defense teams for Guild Wars without instruction, and all the members who shared high-quality information in the open chat and improved strategy details even with minor feedback. I hope we can continue to enjoy our time together in Cyder for a long time to come, just as we are now!
