It is time for another guild spotlight, where we meet the close-knit adventurers of 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). When you are recruiting new members, what metrics do you prioritise? SKRB provides a wealth of data through the adventurer profile, allowing one to instantly check progress in territory exploration, the Tower of Infinity, and rankings for the Arena and Total War.

The guild we are introducing today, 'Seongyeon', is a place that values human connection far more than cold statistics. Growing together regardless of the content type is their primary virtue, prioritising consistency and communication over cutthroat competition. Yet, they have successfully achieved an S-rank in Siege Warfare and continue to rack up victories in Guild Wars. Let us hear the story of Seongyeon, a guild that treats their shared bond as their most precious asset.

Seongyeon: Bonds that Sparkle Like Stars

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

A. Seongyeon is a home for players who enjoy both PvP and PvE without bias. We have a warm atmosphere with active communication, aiming to grow together by sharing tips. Above all, 'moving forward together' is our core philosophy. This shared mindset has given us a truly solid foundation.

Q. What is the origin of the name 'Seongyeon'?

A. The name is derived from the words for 'star' and 'bond'. It embodies our desire to forge beautiful connections that shine like stars. We also intended to evoke the character Yeonhee from SKRB. As we had hoped, many players who adore Yeonhee have gathered here.

Q. Is there a story behind the founding of the guild?

A. We established it around the 4th or 5th day after the launch of SKRB. I was originally in another guild, but when the guild leader suddenly vanished, the then-sub-leader 'Time' gathered the existing members to start Seongyeon. Looking back, the early days of the guild were quite a rollercoaster.

Q. How do you go about promoting the guild?

A. We mainly use the official lounge and in-game chat. We are also consistently promoting through an open chat room.

Q. What are the key selling points of your guild?

A. We emphasise that we are a guild with both manners and passion. We maintain high rankings in Siege Warfare and Guild Wars, yet the atmosphere remains free and casual. We value supporting each other and growing together more than excessive competition.

Q. What is the charm of the guild?

A. The mix of autonomous participation, active information sharing, and a warm atmosphere is our charm. Everyone from top-tier PvP players to those who prefer PvE can find their place here.

Q. What kind of new members are you looking for?

A. Anyone who logs in consistently and actively participates in guild content is welcome. It is even better if they are great at communicating.

It feels like just yesterday we hit our first S-rank in Siege Warfare!

Q. Which Siege Warfare do you focus on?

A. We do not have a strict policy; it depends on the damage dealers each individual has raised. Those who built Luri focus on Monday to Wednesday, while those who built Taka focus on Thursday to Saturday.

As a side note, Seongyeon's first S-rank Siege Warfare was at the Guardian's Castle. Thanks to the active participation of all 30 members, we broke 15 million points, a memory that remains particularly special.

Q. What are your recent Siege Warfare scores and grades?

A. On average, our members score over 300,000 points, and we maintain an A to S grade. Lately, we have been hitting S most of the time.

Q. Does Seongyeon have any special know-how for Siege Warfare?

A. We prioritise synergy combinations above all else. We build decks tailored to each elemental meta and share strategies in the guild chat to ensure every member can achieve at least an average score.

Q. Which hero do you rate highly in Siege Warfare?

A. Taka and Luri are essential as main damage dealers, and the value of a 2-transcendence Vanessa is immense. Also, 'Phai' is currently performing very well. I never expected the Old Seven Knights to show their faces in Siege Warfare.

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

A. Most members have cleared the normal stages, and for nightmare difficulty, 'Time' has reached the very end of the 14th territory. When stuck, we look for recommended combinations, and if that fails, we try changing skill sequences or character positioning. It is a unique joy of SKRB that a small change can often solve a difficult stage.

Q. The Tower of Infinity was recently expanded. How is the guild's progress there?

A. Most have cleared the 100th floor, and over 10 members have reached 200 floors or higher. It has truly become a realm of challenge.

Q. Which hero is considered most useful in PvE content?

A. Melcure, without a doubt. The 'Magic Backflow' effect is incredibly powerful, and combined with stun capabilities, it is extremely useful in PvE.

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

A. The Tower of Infinity. Setting aside other floor rewards, we are focusing on it solely for the Old Seven Knights rewards at the 200th floor. The value of those heroes alone provides enough motivation.

Seongyeon's Best Pick among Old Seven Knights: 'Phai'

Q. What is the rank of your main Arena players?

A. While few focus solely on the Arena, Time has surpassed the Master grade, reaching a final rank of 30th.

Q. What does Seongyeon think of the performance of the three Old Seven Knights?

A. Phai is the top pick for versatility. The burst damage is excellent, and the transcendence efficiency is high, so a well-raised Phai performs in any deck. Rosie is also a strong hero, but excels in defensive decks. The simple setup is another advantage.

Jury's performance is slightly behind the other two, but I believe there is potential depending on the meta. Currently, Jury is the only one possessing the core 'Annihilation' effect.

Q. Who is the best pick among the three Old Seven Knights for Seongyeon?

A. We choose Phai as the best pick because of the high value placed on versatility. The skill value itself is high, and it fits well in both defensive and magic-based decks.

Q. What is Seongyeon's evaluation of the new heroes Rin and Karma?

A. I thought Rin was tailored for the Arena, but surprisingly, it is useful in the Tower of Infinity as well. Of course, it is powerful in the Arena too. The 'Confusion' effect will likely remain valuable. Karma, released with Rin, is a solid defensive unit for the Arena and Guild Wars. However, it is debatable whether it exerts significant dominance yet. It seems to need additional matching pieces.

Colt is considered a damage dealer who perfectly fills the lack of damage in offensive decks. Furthermore, its transcendence efficiency is so high that everyone is debating whether to push further.

Q. Which hero is the guild currently most interested in?

A. The new hero, Colt. We are very interested in whether offensive decks can overcome the defensive deck meta. There are still many variables, so we are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Try using 'Noho' when facing defensive guild war compositions

Q. What is your current Guild War record?

A. It is 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. We are past the midpoint of the season, so strategies are starting to settle. We are aiming to secure as many victories as possible in the remaining time.

Q. What was your most memorable Guild War opponent or episode?

A. As you might have guessed from our record, a draw in Guild War is actually possible. I used to casually ignore the '0 draws' on the record board, but seeing it happen was truly fascinating. It was quite memorable.

Q. Is there an unexpected 'joker pick' for Guild Wars?

A. It is 'Noho', which we bring out as a counter card when facing defensive combinations. It is literally a guaranteed win card. Many might have left it aside because of its hero grade, but I highly recommend raising it in advance.

Q. Any recommended combinations or settings for Guild Wars?

A. Building a main party around Teo and Yeonhee usually gets you halfway there. Use Teo with Phai, and pick between Dellons and Eileen for the remaining slot. For Yeonhee, we recommend combinations with Melcure, Rin, and Vanessa.

Q. Which hero is particularly popular in Seongyeon?

A. As I mentioned briefly during the introduction, it is Yeonhee. It fits the guild name well, and it is popular for its cute appearance and excellent performance.

Let us continue to grow steadily while maintaining a harmonious atmosphere!

Q. Is there a guild member you would like to introduce or boast about?

A. I would like to boast about our core member, Time. It is the strongest member in Seongyeon. Whenever we encounter high-transcendence opponents in Guild Wars that are hard to break through, we ask Time to solve the problem.

Q. What is Seongyeon's future goal?

A. It is simple: for all guild members to grow consistently and maintain our harmonious atmosphere.

Q. Are there any plans for an offline gathering?

A. Not yet, but we are planning to meet once in the capital area. Not something grand like a formal assembly, just a casual meetup.

Q. Is there anything you wish for in SKRB?

A. I wish for more rewards in high-difficulty content. There needs to be meaningful rewards that entice players to strategise, like the 200th floor of the Tower of Infinity, to keep us motivated. Also, stages that rely too heavily on luck should be improved.

Q. A final word to your guild members!

A. We are stronger and have more fun because we are together! Let us go together, Seongyeon!
