1. 4 FMB Beowulf · Penthesilea · Oliver Current meta Beats 25 of 29 in battle 89.69/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Beowulf (SP · paid), Penthesilea (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 89.69 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Beowulf is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Slayer applies Disarm, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Penthesilea is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 106% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 366% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, 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 Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Beowulf and Oliver both wait on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

Beowulf is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Slayer applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Helsingen is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 10% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, 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 Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Blackflame Curse waits on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Tomyris swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Tomyris’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt; raw damage reaches only about 23% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.
