Welcome, everyone. It is time for our [Weekly Forum Highlight] for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (SKRB). The 'Beginning of Autumn' has officially passed, yet the sweltering heat remains as relentless as ever. To combat this, several events have been taking place across the world of SKRB, and we are currently seeing them wrap up one by one. In keeping with the season, our [Weekly Forum Highlight] has donned a breezy 'Beach Festival' theme for its cover and background. We have rounded up the key community chatter and updates for you below.

Check your event end dates!

The second part of the scenario event, 'Midsummer Salt Island Vacation', is in full swing. With the 'Challenge Stage B' area now open, many adventurers are busy shopping at the event store. Do keep in mind that the stage availability and the store's closing time are different: the stages will vanish after the maintenance on August 20, while the shop remains open until 9:00 AM on August 24. Make sure to claim all your rewards before the clock runs out.

As these events wind down, some significant news has emerged. A total of 19 events, including the 'Hero Expedition' and 'Guild War Challenge', will conclude simultaneously during the update maintenance on September 3. As teased in the previous 'SKRB Live' broadcast, these events are set for a major overhaul alongside the update.

If you haven't finished your tasks yet, get moving. Pay special attention to events like the '1st-3rd Hero Expedition', which feature legendary rank heroes as rewards. It is worth noting that all the events listed in the material above will be replaced by newly improved versions once they conclude.

Q. Skuld's 'Skill Cooldown Increase' debuff is not applying.
A. Check the 'Magic Vulnerability' requirement for the 'Secret of the Constellation' skill.

With magic-type heroes making waves in the Arena lately, questions like this have been popping up frequently. As players dive deeper into the utility of older heroes like 'Melkir', many have forgotten the specific conditions required for certain effects. We have seen a fair number of inquiries regarding the newer hero, Skuld, as well.

The core of playing Skuld lies in the 'Secret of the Constellation' skill. It is best used as your first reserved skill to shut down the opponent's ability to act. However, there is one condition many overlook: the target must be in a 'Magic Vulnerability' state for the skill cooldown increase to actually trigger.

Should you use another hero to apply the debuff first, then reserve Skuld as your second skill? Not necessarily. You can leverage the passive skill of the original Seven Knights hero 'Millia' or the 6-transcendence effect of the new hero 'Dong-young'. The difference is that Millia's debuff is permanent with no turn limit, while Dong-young's lasts for two turns. Choose your companion based on your team's specific strategy to maximise Skuld's cooldown potential.

Summer Vacation Special Mail Rewards

To celebrate the SKRB heroes' time off, we are sending some refreshing rewards your way. The 'Hot August! Summer Vacation Special Push Event' grants various items just for logging into SKRB during the period. You can receive useful items daily, including up to 20 'Key Chests' and 5 'Pet Wish Summon Tickets'.

If you have vacation plans and cannot log in, check the 'Reward Distribution Period' carefully. Each reward remains available for about three days, so daily login isn't strictly mandatory. While grabbing everything immediately is ideal, feel free to time your claims based on item priority.

Stronger Together: The 'Cooperation' Guild

With the new season of the SKRB Guild War kicking off, many guilds are looking to regroup. The 'Cooperation' guild is one such group, founded by top-tier players and friends of the guild master. They describe themselves as a 'sanatorium' guild, aiming to enjoy the content in a more relaxed manner.

Entry requirements include a total power score of legendary rank and a combined 'God of Destruction' score of 25 million or more. They encourage joining their open chat for communication and prefer players who own rings capable of participating in Guild Wars. While the requirements might seem a bit steep for a 'sanatorium' guild, the actual culture focuses on participation over pressure. If you want to grow alongside others, search for 'Cooperation' in the SKRB Official Lounge to apply.

Beach Festival, 'Shane's' Secret Vacation

The biggest talking point of this year's summer event in SKRB has undoubtedly been the costumes. In particular, Shane's 'Secret Vacation' costume, which was handed out to everyone as an attendance reward, has been a massive hit. Aside from the eye-catching swimsuit design, the fact that it was given out as a generous day-one reward for the summer attendance event really won players over.

There is another reason why it has been highly praised by Seven Knights fans: the costume is a faithful recreation of the original 'Summer Vacation' look. Shane was a popular hero back then, and fans have been eagerly waiting for this specific swimsuit to return. The fact that the 'Secret Vacation' Shane arrived with such high fidelity, without any extra conditions, has truly moved the community. We have included a background featuring a bold standing illustration of Secret Vacation Shane.
