Alexander appears in 12 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 17 FMB Alexander · Geraint · Zhao Yun
   Alexander (SP · paid), Geraint (X24) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 78.07 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Alexander is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 325% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Geraint is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — strips 18% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 92% 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 Zhao Yun produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Geraint’s Deadly Roar waits on. 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 →

2. 59 FMB Alexander · Harald III · Gustav
   Alexander (SP · paid), Harald III (X19) and Gustav (X20) score 67.60 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Alexander is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 325% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Harald III is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Absolute Authority applies Taunt on a 55% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Gustav adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Uprising applies Suppress, 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 Gustav’s Uprising applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Harald III swings into a line that cannot answer; Gustav raises Harald III’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; raw damage reaches only about 14% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →
