1. 129 FMB Ramses II · Al Faith · Charles the Great
   Ramses II (SP · paid), Al Faith (S01) and Charles the Great (S01) score 56.11 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ramses II is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 238% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Al Faith is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 35% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Charles the Great is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 68% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, 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 Ramses II raises Charles the Great’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; raw damage reaches only about 5% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. This is one of the lineups recommended in-game by the developers -- the score above is what that classic core is still worth against the current roster. How these scores work →
