Right, let's dive straight into another edition of the Weekly Forum Highlight. Look, the much-anticipated Demon Slayer collaboration has finally landed in SKRB, causing quite a stir across the community with its charming new heroes and hefty rewards. This first wave lets you meet none other than the protagonist Kamado Tanjiro and Agatsuma Zenitsu. We have rounded up all the related buzz and community highlights right here for you.

Total Concentration Breathing! The Demon Slayer Update

The star of this first collaboration wave is none other than the legendary hero Kamado Tanjiro. Director Kim and the team faithfully recreated the breathing techniques from the original work, successfully capturing the hearts of both franchise fans and SKRB adventurers alike. Stepping into the arena as an offensive dealer, Kamado Tanjiro is currently making waves in both the PvP arena and PvE content. The core gimmick deals bonus damage proportional to the enemy's buff count, rounded out by defense-ignoring damage, buff-clearing attacks, and skill cooldown resets upon defeating foes. These offensive tools let Kamado Tanjiro systematically dismantle opposing parties back-to-back.

Agatsuma Zenitsu arrives alongside as a hero packing massive single-target damage and conditional execution capabilities. Sharing the same offensive role as Kamado Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu specializes heavily in single-target onslaughts. Naturally, versatility is also part of the kit, featuring buff-clearing attacks backed by piercing and defense-ignoring traits, extra consecutive activations upon securing a kill, turn-based buff reductions, and defense breaks that easily hold ground in the current arena meta. There is also an execution effect that instantly drops enemies sitting at 26% HP or lower upon attacking.

Beyond just the two heroes, a wealth of content packed with the source material's charm has opened up. The classic Tower of Trials has been revamped into the Infinite Trials to match the event. Just like before, you can fine-tune your difficulty by selecting various buffs and debuffs, preserving that satisfying puzzle-like strategy while earning rewards based on cumulative medals. Moreover, Akaza steps up as the boss on floor 5, while Doma takes the stage on floor 10, stuffing the event full of immersive touches.You will also find plenty of other activities to enjoy alongside Demon Slayer, including the Akaza Decisive Battle event dungeon, an event shop, and dedicated exclusive gear, so we highly recommend checking them out in-game.

Q. How do I unlock the exclusive gear slot?
A. Reach ultimate enhancement after unlocking gear slots.

Thanks to the aforementioned event, a massive influx of fresh faces—affectionately dubbed Demon Slayer newcomers—has arrived. Naturally, the SKRB official lounge Q&A board is flooded with questions from rookie adventurers. Quite a few people have been asking how to unlock those exclusive gear slots, likely because the event rewards hand out exclusive gear tailored for the collaboration heroes.

The answer is ultimate enhancement. Your very first ultimate enhancement opens up one extra slot each for weapons and armor. But wait, that is not all—you can perform a second ultimate enhancement using the same materials, which finally unlocks the exclusive gear slot itself. Keep in mind that you can use Rhea, the dedicated material meant for ultimate enhancements, to get this done.

Kamado Nezuko's Demon Slayer Corps Special Mission

During this collaboration event, Kamado Tanjiro's younger sister Kamado Nezuko joins the roster as a pet. Kamado Nezuko grants a pet support buff boosting all attack power, defense, and max HP exclusively for allied Demon Slayer heroes. To max out a 6-star Kamado Nezuko during this event, you need four 4-star copies: two can be claimed from the Demon Slayer Corps Supply Depot shop, while the remaining two await as rewards in the Demon Slayer Corps Special Missions.

The missions involve grinding fodder and summoning heroes, rewarding a 4-star Kamado Nezuko for 1,000 repeat battles and 150 summons respectively. If you are a seasoned SKRB veteran, you will polish these off naturally while enjoying the game as usual. For new or returning players, the required numbers might feel a bit steep, so make sure to keep up with your routine fodder farming so you do not miss out on these rewards.

Guild Battle Rank 15: LuckyDay

With a fresh season of Guild Battles kicking off, the official lounge recruitment board is hotter than ever. Plenty of guilds are hunting for fresh blood, while adventurers are actively scouting for a new home. LuckyDay, currently looking to fill their final roster spot, has thrown their hat into the ring as well.

LuckyDay is a sister guild associated with MadDay, a powerhouse that consistently scores top ranks in Guild Battles. While the entry requirements are slightly more relaxed than MadDay's, their actual content performance is remarkably similar, with both guilds wrapping up the previous Guild Battle season at 13th and 15th place respectively—far exceeding their target of cracking the top 50.

Naturally, the entry requirements are a bit more rigorous than usual, demanding Challenger rank or higher in PvP and Legend tier or higher in Total War. On the PvE front, applicants need a combined score of at least 35 million across three Descent Expedition runs. Since Guild Battles take center stage here, there are quite a few participation rules you will need to brush up on. If you are looking to experience high-end guild content in greater depth, why not knock on LuckyDay's door?

Hinokami Kagura Kamado Tanjiro

Demon Slayer's protagonist Kamado Tanjiro has joined the roster as a hero in the Seven Knights universe. You can try out Hinokami Kagura firsthand through this collaboration event. If you are unfamiliar with the original work, you might find yourself wondering why the protagonist lacks a breathing style name like everyone else. Something like Fire Breathing would seem to fit right alongside Agatsuma Zenitsu's Thunder Breathing, which is currently running on the pickup banner.

There is a crucial piece of lore behind this. Translated literally, Hinokami Kagura means a dance dedicated to the fire god. Yet, watching Kamado Tanjiro's skills in action reveals swordsmanship rather than any mere dance. In truth, this was the Kamado family's secret method for passing down the Sun Breathing technique, preserving breathing forms and ultimate swordsmanship disguised as a dance. In the source material, this dance awakens into true combat swordsmanship during moments of crisis.
