It is time for our guild spotlight, where we meet adventurers banding together in 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). The beauty of SKRB guilds is the sheer variety of their ambitions. It is not always about chasing the top spot; many guilds choose a more measured, sustainable path rather than burning out in a futile attempt to conquer the rankings. For many, the goal is simply to enjoy the game without the crushing weight of competitive pressure.

Today, we feature Platinum, a guild that embodies this balanced philosophy. As the name suggests, it started as a low-pressure social group, but through steady progression, they have found themselves firmly as the 'head of the snake' rather than the tail of the dragon. Let us dive into their growth story and future aspirations.

Settling as the head of the snake—just as Platinum intended!

Q. Could you give us a brief introduction to the guild?

A. Hello! As our name suggests, we are not aiming for the absolute top, but rather a solid mid-to-high tier 'Platinum' status. We are a guild dedicated to enjoying SKRB while holding our own as the head of the snake.

Q. What is the origin of the name Platinum?

A. We debated many names but decided on something intuitive—the name of a tier from the Arena. Since we are a social guild at heart, we want to play hard without the stress of being number one. 'Platinum' felt just right. We might not be the strongest, but we strive to be the dominant force in that specific weight class.

For context, there is a Korean-named 'Platinum' guild active in the higher rankings. People sometimes get us confused during recruitment. Just remember, we are the English 'Platinum', not the Korean one. Don't get them mixed up!

Q. When was the guild founded?

A. May 15, 2025—the very day SKRB launched. We started as a social-focused guild and continue to be one today. It began with me, the guild leader, reaching out to acquaintances from other mobile games and friends of friends. Since most of us started as strangers, it is a very welcoming environment for new members to settle in.

Q. How do you usually promote the guild?

A. We primarily use in-game chat and the official SKRB lounge. Word of mouth among the founding members' acquaintances has also been a huge help.

Q. What are your recruitment priorities?

A. Daily attendance and participation in guild content are non-negotiable. We do not care about monetization status; if you have passion for SKRB, you are more than welcome. Last week, we only accepted members at Platinum tier or above, but we have raised the bar to Diamond to push for further growth. We even design our own recruitment graphics to match.

Q. What is the charm of the guild?

A. As the guild leader, it feels a bit cheeky to say this, but perhaps it is my own quirkiness. I love every game I play, and I tend to dive deeper than those around me. I have a bit of a rebellious streak—some might call it 'hipster'—so I prefer off-meta picks. You will often see me building heroes that fit my personal taste rather than the mainstream.

Aside from me, many of our members play by the book, which is great. New members who need help get plenty of feedback and guidance from the veterans. If you want to enjoy a diverse gaming environment, Platinum is the place for you. We even keep detailed documents on guild content metrics to keep everyone informed!

Q. What kind of players are you looking for?

A. We want active, passionate talkers. Since we are a social group, we often play other games together beyond just SKRB. We hang out in voice chat, so if you enjoy a lively, friendly atmosphere, you will fit right in.

Siege Defense: The popular choice for feeling the growth

Q. Which Siege Defense modes do you focus on?

A. We consistently score high on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, which favour physical damage dealers.

Q. What are your recent Siege Defense scores and ranks?

A. We consistently maintain an S-rank every week, averaging over 15 million points.

Q. Does Platinum have any special know-how for Siege Defense?

A. We mostly study guides through videos and adapt them into our own builds and tactics. We share which heroes are needed and how to set them up. If someone lacks a top-tier hero, we brainstorm and experiment with alternatives together, which helps everyone improve.

Q. Which heroes do you rate highly for Siege Defense?

A. Physical damage dealers like Taka and Feng Yan. Depending on the day, we also use Jinn or Bidam, but the former two have higher damage ceilings and are easier to obtain. For magic damage, we are keeping a close eye on the rare-grade hero Sera.

Q. How is the progression of your members in adventure content?

A. 'Helios' and 'Murmuri General' are ahead of the pack. Some of our members actively communicate with SKRB streamers, so we get a lot of information there. Thanks to that, clearing PvE content like the Infinite Tower has been quite smooth.

Q. The Infinite Tower was recently expanded. How is the progress?

A. It is hard to give an average since everyone is at different stages. Many are stuck on specific floors, so progress is slow, but we are climbing steadily.

Q. Which heroes are considered most useful for PvE?

A. Pascal, Teo, and Taka. Pascal is essential for farming 'Steel Predator', which is considered the endgame gear. Teo and Taka are versatile enough to shine in the Arena, Siege Defense, and Guild Wars, but they are also incredibly useful in adventure mode.

Q. What content does the guild focus on the most?

A. PvE content, specifically Raids and Siege Defense. Raids are the biggest growth engine in SKRB right now. Gear is so important that it ties into every other mode. We are waiting for the next difficulty level to drop. As for Siege Defense, many members enjoy the thrill of breaking their own score records every week.

Q. Which heroes are particularly popular in Platinum?

A. Teo. Whenever someone is unsure about how to handle a specific challenge, the answer is usually 'just use Teo.' The guild leader's personal favorites, however, are Rudy, Ray, and Black Rose. They have been my favorites since the original game!

Re-evaluating 'Feng Yan' after a surprising performance in Guild War

Q. The Arena meta is shifting rapidly. How does Platinum analyze it?

A. Rudy seems to be the anchor of the current meta. Since many players are building around status effects, heroes with effect hit and resistance are highly valued. Sometimes, having 100% effect resistance is just as effective as having 100% block chance. It all depends on your current tier and server. We are also watching how magic heroes perform in Guild War to predict future shifts.

Q. What are the ranks of your Arena-focused members?

A. Despite being called 'Platinum', Helios and Murmuri General have hit Challenger, so they are probably our strongest. We also have many members in the Challenger and Master tiers.

Q. What is your take on the recently added legendary heroes Rin, Karma, and Colt?

A. Rin definitely has the biggest presence in the aforementioned Guild War. Seeing Rin on the opposing team makes planning an attack quite frustrating.

Karma was initially dismissed as not needing transcendence, but the actual performance is quite good. However, the consensus for mid-tier Arena is that you don't need high transcendence. Still, many pulled for Karma in preparation for Guild War.

Colt is being viewed as lukewarm, especially coming after Rin and Karma. Since Teo is dominating every tier, people are saying Colt struggles to compete. Most are just keeping Colt at base or 2-transcendence for now.

Q. Who is Platinum's best pick among the three old Seven Knights?

A. Pai. Many want Pai because the base card utility looks amazing. We have even planned out team compositions, but few have managed to pull Pai yet. I am still desperately waiting for my first copy!

Q. How were your recent Guild War results?

A. We had an undefeated streak for the first three matches. We hoped, 'Let's just get into the top 500!', but we have faced some tough losses since. We are definitely feeling the 'head of the snake' struggle.

Q. Any memorable moments from Guild War?

A. I won't name the guild, but there was one match that still stings. We found a guild that looked easy to crack if we just took down their outer wall, but that wall was incredibly reinforced. We failed the assault—a real lesson in the need for caution.

Q. Any surprise 'joker' picks for Guild War defense?

A. Even though it is a different mode, our Siege Defense dealers are surprisingly effective. Rare-grade heroes like Feng Yan are being re-evaluated for their raw stats. They provide better win rates than expected on both offense and defense.

Q. Any recommended combos or settings for Guild War?

A. The season isn't over yet, and we are at a critical point of our losing streak, so I will keep those secrets to myself. Good luck to everyone in the remaining Guild War matches!

We will become the strongest head of the snake

Q. Is there any guild member you would like to brag about?

A. It is hard to choose because everyone is special. But I think everyone would agree on Murmuri General. They share so much high-level info that helped our newer members grow rapidly. Calling them the 'SKRB Encyclopedia' would not be an exaggeration.

Q. What is the future goal for Platinum?

A. To maintain our position as the definitive head of the snake. We will do our best until the word gets out that 'Platinum is the top guild in the mid-to-high tiers!'

Q. Are there any plans for offline meetups?

A. Since we are a social guild based on acquaintances, we don't have regular large meetups, but smaller groups hang out occasionally. Expanding to a formal meetup is definitely on the cards.

Q. Any wishes for SKRB?

A. We have been getting more costumes since the last update, right? But we are still hungry for more! I hope they keep releasing more beautiful costumes.

Q. A final word to your guild members!

A. We are still weak, but we will grow faster and stronger. I hope all the Platinum family continues to have fun and make great memories in SKRB for a long, long time!
