What Kind of Game is Seven Knights Re:birth?

Simple Yet Strategic Turn-Based Battles

Seven Knights Re:birth's battles are turn-based battles based on auto-progression, using pre-set or random skills, so no complex controls are required.

On top of that, each hero's strengths are clearly defined, so you also get the fun of strategizing over "what party to build" and "in what order to use skills".

Systems That Make It Easy to Keep Playing Long-Term

A key feature of Seven Knights Re:birth's content is that many stages can be auto-progressed or instantly cleared via Sweep. Once you clear a stage in full one time, you can keep playing afterward with minimal effort.

Low Barrier to Obtaining Heroes

Seven Knights Re:birth has no limited-time gacha banners besides collaborations, and Rate Up heroes get added to the standard gacha pool once their banner ends. Currency and gacha ticket distribution (detailed below) is also generous, so obtaining base heroes is very easy.

Who Is This Game a Good Fit For?

Players Who Like Steady Daily Progress

Seven Knights Re:birth has a system where you can stock up on Rubies (the premium currency) through "Ruby Farming," so even F2P or low-spending players can steadily grow stronger over time.

The daily play load is also light, making this a great fit for players who enjoy playing a little each day, even during spare moments, and feeling their party grow gradually stronger.

Players Who Enjoy Puzzle-Like "Thinking" Battles

In battle, party composition and skill order matter most. This game is a great fit for players who enjoy trial and error and the puzzle of team building, asking questions like "Which heroes should I use to block this enemy's status ailment?" or "In what order should I use skills to maximize damage?"

A Remake, But No Prior Series Knowledge Needed

Seven Knights Re:birth (SKRE) is a remake of the classic RPG "Seven Knights," reborn with beautiful graphics. While it shares its world setting with the series, you can enjoy the game and story fully even with zero prior knowledge of Seven Knights.

Which Collab Heroes Are Coming?

Available Oct 1		Available Oct 15
Tanjiro Kamado	Zenitsu Agatsuma	Giyu Tomioka	Shinobu Kocho

The Demon Slayer collab will roll out across two updates, on October 1 and October 15, adding four collab heroes in total. You can check each hero's release timing and kit details in the individual guides linked above.

Nezuko Kamado is Obtained Through Gameplay

It's been revealed that Nezuko Kamado, the Collaboration Pet, can be obtained just by playing the game.

In the previous collaboration event (Solo Leveling Collab), a limited pet could be obtained as a reward from collab stages and Power Up events, so it's likely this pet will also be obtainable through an event this time.

Beginner Q&A

What Kind of System Is the Gacha?

Rate Up Guaranteed by the 200th Pull

Hero Summon has a pity system where you have a 50% chance of getting the Rate Up or Wish List hero on your 100th pull, and a guaranteed one on your 200th pull.

Since you can gather Rubies through Ruby Farming and various content rewards as mentioned earlier, it's relatively easy to keep pulling the gacha.

Plenty of Ways to Get Heroes Besides the Gacha

There are plenty of ways to obtain heroes besides the gacha, adding to the game's appeal — such as "Crafting," which lets you use unwanted heroes as material to get a hero you want, and "7K Chess," which guarantees you 1 (up to 2) of your desired heroes every month.

Should You Reroll?

Try to Get Yoongun If You Can

In Seven Knights Re:birth, you're guaranteed to get Teo within your first 10-pull. After that, the "New Wind Blessing Festival Select Summon" becomes available, so it's ideal to set Yoongun as your Wish List pick and get one within your starting Ruby stock.

Tips!	If you manage to pull Yoongun early, switch your Wish List pick to Sunran and pull again.

It's Fine If You Can't Pull Them Right Away!

In the New Wind Blessing Festival Select Summon, you have a 50% chance of getting your Wish List hero on the 100th pull, and it's guaranteed by the 200th pull. Since you'll naturally get there through normal progress, skipping the reroll is also a valid option if you want to start playing right away.

Tips!	In Seven Knights Re:birth, you can also obtain heroes outside of summoning via Fusion or login bonuses, so there's a big benefit to starting the game early!

Who Are the Best Current Heroes?

Yoongun and Sunran Are the Strongest

New Wind Blessing Festival Select Summon is where you can pull the two top heroes, Yoongun and Sunran. Also, Legendary Special heroes (marked with an icon in the top right) that can use "Awakening," the feature added at the 1st anniversary, tend to be strong.

What Kind of System is Transcendence?

Max Transcendence is 12, But 6 is Practically the Cap

There's a training method called "Transcendence" where you stack duplicates of the same hero, up to 12 times max. Performance jumps significantly at Transcendence 2 and Transcendence 6, so while it depends on the hero, the goal is to aim for Transcendence 2 first and eventually Transcendence 6.

Tips!	If all you need is one copy of a base hero each time (Transcendence 0), it's easy to do even as an F2P player if you Ruby Farm daily. Since non-collab heroes join the standard gacha pool once their banner ends, you can also work on Transcending them later if you're not in a hurry!

What Should You Do Every Day?

Start With Ruby Farming

One of your daily tasks is purchasing Key Boxes (Stamina) from the Exchange Shop and gathering Rubies through Ruby Farming. The Ruby cost increases each time you buy, but it's best to buy up through the 80 or 100 Ruby Key Box.

Ruby Farming Efficiency Guide - How Many Key Boxes Should You Buy?

Also Complete the Easy Daily Missions

You can earn various materials and up to 100 Rubies by completing Daily Missions. The requirements are easy to hit naturally if you're already keeping up with your dailies.

Clear Content Using the Content Status Screen

Some content also has its own Stamina that only refills once per day. You can check how much Stamina you have across the board from Adventurer's Guide > Content Status, so make sure to spend it before it overflows.

Should You Join a Guild?

You Should Join for the Exclusive Content and Rewards

Joining a Guild lets you take part in content like Castle Rush, Advent Expedition, and Guild War, and their rewards help you progress efficiently. You can also ask guildmates for advice when you're stuck, so joining a Guild is generally a great idea.

Returning Player Q&A

Who Are the Current Top PvP Heroes?

Yoongun is the Strongest Magic Hero

The strongest Magic hero is Yoongun, whose ability at Transcendence 6 to chain into the other skill (Skill 1 or 2) upon defeating an enemy is extremely powerful. He's a strong pick not just in PvP but broadly across PvE too.

Sunran is the Strongest Physical Hero

The strongest Physical hero is Sunran, a powerful attacker who excels at HP-based damage. When her Attack is higher than the enemy's, the enemy's attacks Miss, giving her high survivability, and she performs well in both PvP and PvE.

Hayeon Fits Into Any PvP Party

Hayeon, a Support hero, is a support character who can perform well in PvP Physical, Magic, or Tank/Sustain parties alike. If you want a highly versatile PvP support hero, Hayeon is a great choice.

Awakened Heroes Tend to Be Strong

In general, heroes that can use "Awakening," the feature added at the 1st anniversary, tend to be strong. New heroes are also generally released with Awakening available.

Who Are the Current Top PvE Heroes?

Biscuit, Shane, and Pascal Remain Constants

PvE Meta Heroes
Biscuit	Shane	Pascal

Biscuit, who can boost boss damage and apply Defense Reduction; Shane, a single-target Physical attacker; and Pascal, a single-target Magic attacker, have remained top PvE heroes since launch.

Bai Long Has Broad Utility for Single-Target Physical

Bai Long is a single-target Physical attacker who ignores Defense, and his standout trait is hitting even harder per attack than Shane. However, be aware that he's weak to Magic attacks due to a passive that increases incoming Magic damage by 90%.

Xiao Qiao Also Sees Frequent Use for Single-Target Magic

Xiao Qiao is a single-target Magic attacker who can apply Magic Vulnerability, boost Magic Attack, and generate a Barrier, and she's often paired with Pascal. She has Paralysis Immunity and excels in the Iron Devourer Raid.

Ryan Excels at 3-Target Physical

Ryan is a 3-target Physical attacker who can tank aggro using Taunt combined with Physical Attack Reduction, and his ability to reduce his own Cooldown along with that of one high-Attack ally (Single Ally) is also powerful. He performs extremely well in Castle Rush and Advent Expedition, where 3-target Physical attacks are effective.

Nezha's Damage Output is Strong for 3-Target Magic

Nezha is a 3-target Magic attacker who can Ignore Defense and deal HP-based damage, and she can also reduce her own Cooldown along with that of one high-Attack ally. She's a top-priority pick for Castle Rush and Advent Expedition, where 3-target Magic attacks are effective.

What About Balance Changes for Older Heroes?

Awakening Makes Some Seven Knights of Old and Silvesta Strong

Heroes With Awakening
Rudy	Eileene	Dellons	Silvesta
Heavenia	Hellenia	Knox	Velika

Awakening, introduced at the 1st anniversary, is being added to existing heroes over time, with Seven Knights heroes like Dellons and Rudy, as well as key main story heroes like Silvesta, receiving buffs.

Tips!	Adding Awakening is often accompanied by upward buffs to the hero's base kit as well.

Which Heroes Will Get Buffed Next?

Seven Knights of Old Are Planned for Sequential Balance Adjustments

Balance adjustments are planned in sequence for Seven Knights of Old heroes, who can't be pulled from the normal gacha. Juri was adjusted first, and it looks like Fai is scheduled to be adjusted next.

Death Hero Aquila is Also Planned for Buffs

With Awakening added to the Legendary hero Knox, the pick rate of Aquila, a Legendary Special Death hero who doesn't have Awakening, has dropped. Because of this, buffs are planned for Aquila.
