Game Guide: Seven Knights (SENA) Servers JP, KR, Asia, Global

Hey guys, today I will be talking on Seven Knights by Netmarble, a mobile RPG game. This is the first game guide I will be sharing and look forward to more game guides and tips for my upcoming posts!

First thing first, to those who are and will be playing in the Global/Asia server, Sena in these serves do not follow the exact similar patches as the KR server.

Here are some notable changes with Global/Asia servers, in the bracket is the KR version:

The latest Moonlit Isle Map clear reward - random 6star armor/weapon (6star hero)
The friendship system and gifting - random 5 star hero (random 6 star hero)
Dragon Raid level of difficulty - relatively easy to dish 300-400k damage with standard setup against ≤lv30 Dragon Destroyer.
Patches are not in similar order as the KR server.




Here is the Japan newly released Seven Knight CBT server.

The comparison between Japan Server vs Global/Asia/Kr

Notable changes:

- Key is being generated roughly every 3 minutes (About 9mins~)

- To refill keys to max need to use 10 rubies or 200 honor points while the extra keys will be adding up. (Not too sure of the details but 100 points = 10 keys here)

- Subsequent maps will cost more keys (1-2keys max for each map)

- There are 3 rewards per quest, either heroes or equipments entirely up to RNGesus. Make sure to have at least 3 spare slots in each hero and the inventory.

- You get 1 ruby for first time stage clearance. Boss stage could earn you 3 rubies. (Good update to make up the loss in rubies gain from leveling up to max)

- The leveling system changed drastically. You can still level units by doing quest but it's only effective for first 10 levels. To reach level 30, you need to use food on the unit to gain exp boost. The best food is the Elemental Unit. Unit with same element will give huge exp about +50%. They added a special Element which boost the same amount of exp +50% regardless of the unit's element.


- Unit now uses special potions for ranking up. These potions can be obtained via adventure, daily quests and crafting. (sounds like a less hassle way to rank up your units, good update thereotically)

- Daily quests can be repeated provided you have enough keys [6keys/run]


- There are 2 forms of Dailes. One rewards you with elements for leveling up while the other rewards special potions for ranking up to adapt to the new changes.

*Yet to be confirmed: Apparently, there isn't a fusion function thus less 1 method to gain extra units.

Game Review: Seven Knights (Sena)

Wassup people! Today, I will be reviewing on a mobile RPG (role-playing game) by Netmarble Games called Seven Knights. This game can be downloaded from Google Playstore.




Any phone with Android 4.0 and above is able to play this game and those on Apple products can get the game from their store as well (confirmed with my Apple user friend @Joyou).

This game is relatively new in the Global server as it was originally released by the Koreans and subsequently adapted to multiple versions. Currently, the Korean version has the most updated and unlocked features as compared to Global Server.

I find this game rather amazing for long term mobile gaming as compared to games like Summoners War, Brave Frontiers, and Crusader quests. Let's move on with FAQ by most gamers prior to trying a new game.

The Gameplay


It is similar to Summoners Wars style, turn based with Raid features, Stages, Towers, Guild Battles, PVP Arena, Costumes for units.
Sena's currency: gold and rubies and guild points.

The characters' designs are awesome, they have one of the cooler costumes for mobile RPG games I have ever seen, fantastic skill animations, and even the fodder units are not too bad as well especially the famous Pooki (A darn happy living mushrooms which the developers often post videos of them dancing like a freaking Pooki) and Happy (most used fodder unit due to large amount of hatred from the community towards it's entire generation; Just pulling your leg).

Grindy?

Well, Seven Knights/Sena offers one of the better balance features from most mobile games I played. You do not need to cash to win or to be placed in the top rankings. Sena is more of the kind of hardwork pays off game as the rubies can be easily farm by repeating leveling all units to max level EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE MAXED THE SAME UNIT AS WELL (but for 2 rubies instead of 5)! It is not that hard to earn rubies at all. Most of the regular units can carry your team to high tier arena provided you place the proper combination of skills and utilizing the right passives to stack on your team. High grade equipments are easy to obtain from ranking up from previous grade.

Here are some of my personal gameplay!

This is my current arena ranking for a free-2-play perspective!

Game Review: League of Legends & Learn to Ward

Hello all! This post will be talking on League of Legends, a famous MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game alongside with Dota2 and Heroes of the Storm.

What is it about?
League of Legends is a game by RIOT Games aka Rito. This game was first released back in year 2009 and featured in E-sports due to competitive gameplays. Currently, LoL is moving towards Season 6 World Championship. Last World Championship Season 5 was in Berlin. LoL is similar to Dota in some ways adapting the common gameplay but the changing and dynamic feature LoL is by controlling objectives such as 'Dragon', 'Taking out Towers' and 'Baron'. Similar to Dota, LoL has a large champion pool but gearing towards specific roles for certain champions. In LoL, there are 5 roles for 5 players: Top, Jungle, Mid, AD Carry(ADC), and Support. There are 3 lanes in the map and the gameplay revolves around more of Dynamic Virtual Chess-Game.
For those new to MOBA games, LoL is just like a chess-game and all champions selected by each player starts from level 1 and the game continue until Red Team or Blue Team destroys the Nexus (the big crystal in ally base) or force a surrender vote from opponent team. In LoL, we have EU, NA, CN, KR, Asia, and Oceania servers. Playing in your region server will reduce the lag during the gameplay.

Ignore my newbie photoshop skills.


So, is LoL more to Free-2-Play or Heavy Cashing?
This is actually a very common question asked by many gamers prior to dedicating themselves to play a new unfamiliar game. As for League of Legends, players may choose to spend money to buy skins for their specific champions for ecstatic purposes similar to other MMORPG which player buys costumes for their characters. Cashing probably will be spent on unlocking champions as well or buying skins for wards too.


Cons for MOBA games:
If you have weak internet speed, better to check your pings and speed via speedtest.net prior to be part of the community.
Most players suffer and develop hatred which stem from having bad connection speed and LoL is one of those games, your internet speed plays a vital role in determining your gaming experience. Nuff said.


Moving on, today second focus will be leaning towards 'Warding' in League of Legends.

As you can see from the yellow dots in the map, those are crucial areas for basic warding purposes. Warding is a collective team effort and Support Role will be focus on controlling the wards in the map.

Many new players unable to understand the importance of warding in LoL because lack of experience, insight and failure to grasp the key in maintaining vision for your teammates.

Why should I ward?

Currently in Pre-season 6 patch, every players may purchase yellow trinket for free from the shop which stacks up to 2 wards. During the laning phase, each individual player need to grasp the understanding of warding at the River Region before continue pushing through the lane as many do not understand the "Not Dying/Feeding vs 2-3 minions CS Counts" worth. Yes, it is a basic fact but many decided to forego such ideology. Warding provides vision because JG roles mainly focus on ganking during laning phase to snowball (win the lane 1 sidedly) any of the 3 lanes to gain massive advantage.

How to use wards and control vision effectively?

An experience LoL player will know that timer and map awareness are both important concept in maintaining vision control. Both the Jungle and Support provides vision for the team and individual Laners such as TOp, Mid, and AD Carry mainly focus on providing vision for themselves while laning. One does not simply overextend and push the lane to enemy's lane (meaning to go beyond the river dividing border) and making yourself susceptible for ganking. That itself shows potential gank-lane for Jungle.
Rotating wards and sightstone while knowing when to teleport back to base after pushing the lane safely important in avoiding getting killed. A 'support' player need to recharge sightstone after finish consumption and inform your AD carry or Mid Player that you will be heading back to base to stock up the wards again. Communication and teamwork are both vital in the game but Controlling Vision seem to be lacking among many players. Warding itself is dangerous as well and do not focus heavily on roaming around the map to ward to the extent of abandoning your carries and get yourself killed. Roaming around to ward as support with enemy gaining vision of your roam is as though putting a sign "Yo, I'm Delicious and come Rekt Me'.

Warding for objectives is another skill player need to understand. Playing with the timer, Support should secure vision at bot lane for your AD carry should both of you decided to push the lane. By using your own Jungle level as gauge, you can safely place a ward at river brush when your jungle is level 3. That is when most jungles decided to gank a lane that's overpushed.

I guess that is all for this post. Fellow readers with questions may leave them under the comment section below this post. Cheers!

Game Review: Wildstar

Well, I guess I will start the first post by reviewing a game called WildStar published by NCSOFT. This is an online mmorpg that revolves around the Planet Nexus, a planet abandoned by a powerful race called the Eldan. In this planet, there are various technology and resources being left behind for players to explore. This game was previously a pay-2-play game which recently converted to free-2-play. The game itself is pretty much balanced as you can't cash to win. The features offered in the game is similar to ArcheAge online in which players get to build their own dream house with more customization and explore the creativity within a player.

Let's talk about the race and characters. There are 2 factions, mainly the Exiles and the Dominions. There are 4 classes in each faction. The Exiles: Humans, Granok (big stony guy with stoic facial expression), Aurin (most played class in the Exile due to the 'kawaii' features much like an anime-character), and Mordesh (zombie-like race, hardly seen one so far). The Dominions: Cassian, Mechari, Chua and Draken (tbh, Draken has a very comical face, check them out for the lols).

Yes yes, the next question comes into most gamers looking to try this game out would be: If I am in Exile and my friend wants to play in the Dominion, can we go for adventure together?

The answer is Partially~~~ No.1: You can actually go for adventures together BUT different factions mean players from different faction will slaughter the opposite faction. Thankfully, not to worry, the current population in PVP server kind of small, I guess. So, maybe you can pick your favourite race and play together. I have yet to try this out, just my 2 cents thereotically. From my experience, the community in this game is friendly and helpful. I, myself am currently playing in the PVP server (thanks to my good friend, Lemon who picked PVP server first and joined earlier before me, so yep, as buddies, gotta accompany her



So, what are the features this game has to offer for us,gamers?

Well, tbh, the housing feature really attracted me. There are really no limits to the customization. There is a Vendor Icon in your Housing Plot where you can purchase various furnitures, building blocks, trees, waterfall, lights etc to be placed into your lawn.
That said, one must reach level 14 to unlock the housing feature and level 15 to unlock a Mount. There are 4 types of Mounts available: A dragon-like mount, A Wolf-like mount, A batmobile-like vehicle and A HOVERBOARD! YES, THERE IS A FREAKING HOVERBOARD IN THIS GAME!


Is it very grinding game?

Hmmm, tbh (to be honest), I don't find it as grindy as compared to games like Dragon Nest, Ragnarok, FlyForFun, Tera Online etc. The quests are not that repeatable and Wildstar is based on an open-world concept. There are many different cinematic story behind almost every quest. Of course, the leveling curve is not an S-shaped graph.

Why has such a good game been converted to Free-2-Play from Pay-2-Play?
Good question, but I only did a small research on this. What I got is that many players migrated to World of Warcraft and etc during the period where many new games such as Blade and Soul, Kingdom Under Fire 2 and ArcheAge released. So, developers decided to open up various features for non-cashing gamers to enjoy the game at its max potential.


I am currently playing in the NA PVP server, under the Exile Faction. IGN: Fiora Aphenglow. Currently, I am still enjoying this game at my own pace at low level.
