Every ranked Rise of Castles combo

How to read them

What the numbers on a row mean

Every row carries a score out of 100, the tier it is ranked inside, and the row each hero stands in — F front, M middle, B back. Lineups are ranked within their tier, never across it: Current meta (X16+, SP, or paid heroes), Mid progression (up to X15) and Starter (Season 0–4 heroes every player owns). The rank number runs straight through the page, so the first lineup under a tier header is that tier’s #1 even though its number continues from the tier above.

The coloured rail down the left of each row carries its tier — and where it runs unbroken from one row into the next, those lineups are inseparable: their scores differ by less than a quarter of a point, so the order between them is not a claim the model can make. Cavalry #14 and #15 are 0.01 apart. Read a connected run as one group and pick whichever heroes you own — the ranking is telling you they are the same lineup, not ranking one over the other.

A developer pick chip means the game’s own in-game recommendation includes that trio. Those are always shown — at whatever score they honestly earn, which is often mid-table. Nothing here is placed by hand. Read the full scoring contract, or the combat glossary the engine reads the cards with.
