· The video is conducted in a live recording format on the first day of the Seven Knights Re:Birth update.
· The goal is to deliver key information quickly.

· The main highlight of this update is the 'Poison Strike' ability.
· 'Poison Strike' is known to deal 150% of attack power and 30% of max HP as damage.
· However, in actual use, the damage dealt is lower than expected, raising questions.
· The issue seems to be with the poison mechanics themselves rather than 'Poison Strike' specifically.
· Despite this, the character's passive skills are still useful and valuable.
· Effects like bonus damage when allies attack twice and reduced healing are excellent.
· However, if you pulled this character specifically for the 'Poison Strike' ability, you might be disappointed.

· The experiment is conducted using a character with 3700 magic attack power.
· Applying 30% of the opponent's max HP of 7200 would predict around 2160 damage.
· However, the actual experiment measured poison damage at approximately 61 during normal attacks and skill usage.
· This is significantly lower than the expected 2000 damage.
· This low damage leaves questions about whether it's an issue with the 'Poison Strike' specification or the overall poison mechanics.

· We examine the performance of existing poison characters like 'Baekseol'.
· In the past, poison characters were rarely used in the Arena, so many are unfamiliar with their specs.
· It's unclear if the poison mechanics were changed with this update or if they were always this low.
· For existing poison characters, it's stated they deal 6% of max HP or 150% of attack power, but in reality, they only inflict low damage of around 100-80.
· This appears to be a serious issue, as even with high attack power on existing poison characters, the poison damage is significantly low.

· We asked AI like GPT about the damage calculation formula for 'Poison Strike'.
· The analysis suggests that in the Arena, 'Poison Strike' damage is applied as 6% of max HP, not 30%.
· This is based on damage calculations for characters with 3700-5000 attack power against opponents with 7000-10000 max HP.
· The AI verification indicates these figures are nearly accurate.

· For existing poison characters, the damage is only around 100.
· Even applying 6% damage to a character with 7200 max HP would estimate around 420 damage, but only about 100 damage actually occurs.
· This suggests that a separate adjustment is applied to poison damage itself, indicating it's an issue with the poison mechanics overall, not just specific to the 'Son' character.
· It's difficult to find instances of poison being used in the Arena in the past, so it's uncertain if the poison specs have always been like this.

· Currently, the 'Poison Strike' ability has very low poison damage, so caution is advised when pulling for it.
· 'Poison Strike' is capped at 6% of max HP, so simply enhancing the character won't drastically increase poison damage.
· However, similar to the 'Son' character, fixed damage within skills (22% of magic attack power) can be enhanced.
· Therefore, it's possible to focus on its fixed damage rather than poison damage for progression.
· Currently, there are no special benefits related to poison.
· Other mechanics like damage immunity and turn immunity apply as before.

· No significant bugs or issues have been discovered during the current broadcast.
· Positive information regarding the 'Nox' character will be covered in future videos.
· Some usage examples for 'Nox' have been pre-released on X (formerly Twitter).
