Game Guide:Seven Knights (SENA) New Update & Guild War Ban List



Hey guys, it has been awhile. I had been occupied with couple of games first-impression testing and will be putting up the reviews as soon as I can. Meanwhile, in SENA, we get our weekly update again.

RNGesus has never been so kind to me in Arena. The Free-2-Play Dream!




Firstly, I would like to wish everyone Happy St.Patrick's Day!


For today's update, the following will be the highlights for my post:

  1.  Hard Mode Element Dungeon
  2. St. Patrick's Day Event.
  3. Guild War First Hero Ban List



Hard Mode Element Dungeon

(Thursday Dark Element) will be tougher than others. To the old players, I am sure some of you remember the days whereby when we first started out, dark element dungeon is 1 tier harder than other elements. Not to feel too depressed about not being able to clear the hard mode. We will eventually be able to do it. We can gauge more from tomorrow's Hard Mode Daily.






St. Patrick's Day Event

Well, just like previous event, collect enough clovers from Mimics to unlock MingMing's custom costume. Free Costume is always good to have. Collectors can start hunting for Mimics!


Guild War Ban List


This first ban list actually affected a lot of players.
First, Developers boost the Hero-Time summoning rate for Wukongs, we saw a sudden surge of wukongs in Arena for past weeks. Cashers especially took this opportunity to rush to lv38-lv40 wukongs. You will know a casher when you see lv30s with maxed out Wukongs. Next, Ming Ming, being one of the highest CC rate unit, majority decided to transcend her and spent all of their resources in maxing out MingMing. Velika, most used starter unit for farming and Arena backline carry for sometime prior to Soi's arrival will be targeted as well.
As such, it is not surprising but a rather scum move to ban these 3 heroes in Guild War. Possibly a move to change the Guild War Meta for a week.


Problem:

How to solve this issue if there are your main carries?


Currently, good 6star lv30 units standalone without transcending are
  • Bai Long
  • Ruri
  • Soi
  • Daisy
  • Feng Yan
  • Nia 
  • Mao Song
  • Ace 
  • Seven Knights
Bai Long is good due to his 3turns of berserk passive which prevents debuffers unit from taking him out and AOE active buff removal. Between lv30 Ace and Bai Long, Bai Long definitely wins the better unit choice.

Ruri is still the fastest regular speed unit with easily the highest physical burst among the regular units. Replace Velika with her for backline finisher.


Soi, the best passive immune from 5-Men AOE damage that is not unit-reliant (meaning it is a buff that is turn-based).


In my opinion, GA/Asia Daisy's revamped skills put her to S-tier unit. Piercing, magic damage boost and immune to all damage.

Feng Yan's 3 turn immunity to all attacks and magic-based damage. A good counter to Ruri and Nia.

Nia's utility has always been the CC skill and immunity removal. Definitely a good unit for Guild War when Velika and Wukong are both banned. (those 2 are capable of killling Nia easily)

Lastly, Mao Song's 35% damage reduction + AOE stun chance. Use him for the cc and tankiness against Soi's team.
A note to know: Mao Song's passive is not a team-buff based.


1 of the Lords in the ban list bin, Ace users will be happy to take out the squishy units.

Any of the Seven Knight units will be a good replacement for the banned units. (Although, Kris, Rachel, Javes may not be good choices out of the 7)


That is all for today. Next post will be on new game review. Cheers and Happy Gaming, see you guys next time.
