B Beowulf · Julian · Oliver Current meta 84.44/100 out of 100Beowulf (SP · paid), Julian (X25) and Oliver (X24) score 84.44 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. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 95% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 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 Julian’s Oath of Domionion 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; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →
