1. 32 FMB Warden · Ashen Verdict · Nicolas Flamel
   Warden (X06), Ashen Verdict (X05) and Nicolas Flamel (X18) score 76.55 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Warden is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 116% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Ashen Verdict is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Righteous Fervor applies Disarm on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Nicolas Flamel is the win condition, bringing 71% of the lineup's expected damage: Shadow of Star puts 220% x3 into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Ashen Verdict and Nicolas Flamel both wait on; Warden’s Aspect of the Tiger produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Ashen Verdict waits on; Ashen Verdict’s Righteous Fervor applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Nicolas Flamel swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 27% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Ashen Verdict (X05) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

   Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange.
