Best Cavalry combos with Bjorn

Bjorn appears in 14 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 46 FMB Hellfire · Bjorn · Saladin
   Hellfire (X09), Bjorn (X04) and Saladin (SP · paid) score 74.81 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. Bjorn is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 90% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Saladin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 75% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hellfire and Bjorn both wait on; Bjorn’s Exploit Weakness applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Saladin swings into a line that cannot answer; Hellfire raises Saladin’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Bjorn (X04) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →
