Look, let's be honest—the relentless climb of 'Damage Amplification' in the Siege Warfare category of 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereafter 'SKRB') simply refuses to slow down. This time, they've cheekily snatched the coveted second spot in the overall combined rankings. They even managed to bag first place in Tuesday's siege. Plus, they're sitting pretty at the top of the interim tally for the Descent Expedition. KookminTree has kindly rounded up all the juicy details for you.

Damage Amplification surges to second place in overall siege score

※ Siege rankings are based on daily TOP 30, while Descent Expedition relies on TOP 20 data.

After rocketing up a staggering 15 spots in the previous tally, Damage Amplification refused to stop growing and has now claimed second place in the siege category. The former runner-up, 'Ringdan', had to gracefully step down to third. Meanwhile, 'Bungbungdan' seems to have sorted out their housekeeping, bumping their total score back up from 2.8 billion to 3 billion. Given that Damage Amplification edged past Bungbungdan's score last week, we might actually see the top spot change hands for the first time in an absolute age during the next update.

The relentless march of Damage Amplification didn't stop at the Descent Expedition either. Although it's still an interim result, they've bagged the highest score and parked themselves right at number one. That is quite a stellar glow-up compared to their 12th-place finish in the last interim tally. Bungbungdan was nowhere to be seen in the TOP 20, likely because they are hoarding 10 entry tickets to make one massive, coordinated push. We can only cross our fingers and hope to see Damage Amplification back in the final TOP 20 list this time around.

A 'Byeokryeok' guild ranker crashes into the individual TOP 10

MEGAMINE, who managed to cling to the individual TOP 10 for three weeks straight, has unfortunately slipped out of the rankings this time. Stepping into those shoes is Dalkong from the 'Byeokryeok' guild. Score inflation was quite the talking point this week; the score that secured first place last week would barely have kept anyone in eighth place this time around. The top spot instead went to Wibung-i from Bungbungdan. Wibung-i rocketed straight from seventh to first place last week, leaving us all wondering whether they can defend the crown or if another contender will swipe it away next time.

Week 1 of October daily siege results

The Damage Amplification guild is stealing all the spotlight in the Week 1 of October siege TOP 5 standings. They secured fourth place on Monday, first on Tuesday, and second place across every other day, keeping the pressure firmly on Bungbungdan. Securing first place on Tuesday is the real spicy detail here, considering Bungbungdan practically owned that day back in the good old 'Siege' era. With Damage Amplification gatecrashing the top spot, the monopoly is starting to crack. Let's wait and see if they can hold onto Tuesday's crown or plant their flags on a different castle next week.

This week's siege picks

'Awakened Eileen' is currently putting in serious work across Thursday-to-Sunday sieges, completely revamping team compositions. Over at the Ancient Dragon's Castle on Friday, Rachel has tagged in alongside Ryan to share main dealer duties, while Awakened Eileen holds down the front line. Jave's core gimmick revolves around 'Counterattack', which triggers whenever he takes a hit, lashing out at three enemies with a 60% chance. To shut this down, you need Ryan's 'Blind' debuff. Blind forces enemy counterattacks to completely miss, cutting down incoming damage. After all, a missed hit in SKRB shaves 20% off damage and completely stops critical strikes from happening.

Still, even with reduced damage, glass-cannon backliners might struggle to stay alive. If keeping the back row breathing proves too tricky, rankers suggest pumping points into defense and health via 'Potential'. Besides, Awakened Eileen only really needs to spam her first skill, 'Lightning Flash', so there is no urgent need to mess around with her second skill just to stack debuffs—especially since it's a five-target attack and won't funnel 100% of the damage straight into Jave.
