1. 3 FMB King Arthur · Achilles · Zhao Yun
   King Arthur (SP · paid), Achilles (SP · paid) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 84.30 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   King Arthur is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 136% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Achilles is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 500% of recovery across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 74% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Achilles produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger King Arthur’s Sword in the Stone waits on; Achilles’s Blade of Judgment applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →
