Look, let's be honest: the 'SKRB' (Seven Knights Re:BIRTH) 'Advent Expedition' has finally seen a record-breaking 1 billion point milestone, and it’s the 'Siege' guild leading the charge. They’ve cemented their status as the undisputed heavyweights of the game. Meanwhile, in the Siege rankings, last week's third-place holder 'SenaBusinessClub' took a bit of a tumble, allowing 'Journey-ne' to swoop in and claim that spot. You can find all the gritty details in our report below.

The sudden rise of Journey-ne

Here are the top 20 rankings for the SKRB Siege and Advent Expedition for the third week of June. It was quite a shake-up: 'SenaBusinessClub' plummeted from 3rd to 9th, with the 'Journey-ne' guild filling the void. The volatility wasn't limited to the top tier, though; the entire top 20 saw a massive reshuffle with five new guilds breaking into the ranks. One can only hope they manage to stick around for the next count.

In the final tally for the Advent Expedition, the 'Siege' guild became the first to break the 1 billion point barrier—a neat trick that also helped them reclaim the top spot. You might also notice that the 'Iluna' and 'Iluna' guilds have rebranded themselves in English, thanks to the guild rename feature. The top 20 in the Advent Expedition is just as chaotic as the Siege side. Word is that new tactics involving Awakened Heroes are being cooked up, and I’m dying to see how much that moves the needle on scores.

Fresh faces: Rankers from 'BabyMonster' and 'Rachel-Bae-Heuk-Pung-Cham' make their debut

Checking in on the individual score rankings for the third week of June, we see the number of non-Siege affiliated rankers has climbed back up to four, after dipping to just two. We’ve got some newcomers here: 'Hankook-Eorini' from the 'BabyMonster' guild and 'Seong-Siljang' from 'Rachel-Bae-Heuk-Pung-Cham'. Funnily enough, Seong-Siljang was with the Siege guild during the fourth week of May, so it looks like a bit of a guild-hopping session occurred. As for our previous number one, 'Daeralgogi', they were absent for the Sunday Siege, so they’ve temporarily vanished from the leaderboard.

Siege results by day for the week

Here’s how the SKRB daily Siege results looked for the third week of June. Monday’s 'Guardian Castle' top score smashed through the 400 million mark, a sharp jump from last week’s 379.8 million. Tuesday and Wednesday scores are also ticking upwards, consistently hitting new ceilings. While scores are rising across the board, Sunday was the lone outlier, dropping about 9.5 million points compared to the previous week. Still, the 'Siege' guild holds the crown, and scores haven't dipped below 300 million. A bounce-back next week seems like a safe bet.

This week's Siege picks

Ever since 'Nata' showed up, the ceiling for Magic-type Siege has been climbing. It’s a more aggressive setup than the old 'Ruri' days, and it’s paying off. Guardian Castle has finally cracked the 400 million mark, pushing up the average scores across the board. The current meta is the 'Biscuit - Evan - Nata - Lina - Miho' combo, which is being run by every single player in the top 100. Since you can trade Guild Coins for Nata, she’s significantly easier to acquire than the others. If you’re chasing that high score, ditch Ruri and give Nata a go.
