1. 3 FMB Hellfire · Army Breaker · El Cid Mid progression Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 79.92/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Hellfire (X09), Army Breaker (X02) and El Cid (X12) score 79.92 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hellfire is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 63% 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. Army Breaker is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 48% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. El Cid is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because El Cid’s Song of El Cid produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Army Breaker’s Formation: Enigma and Hellfire’s Heroic Inspiration both wait on; Army Breaker’s Formation: Tranquility applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so El Cid swings into a line that cannot answer; Hellfire raises El Cid’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 4% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Black Prince is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Siege applies Suppress for 2 rounds on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. El Cid is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because El Cid’s Song of El Cid produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Army Breaker’s Formation: Enigma and Black Prince’s Dragon Siege both wait on; Army Breaker’s Formation: Tranquility applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so El Cid swings into a line that cannot answer; Army Breaker raises El Cid’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.
