1. 63 FMB Chen Liu · Cicero · Theodora developer pick Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 61.52/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Chen Liu (X01), Cicero (X01) and Theodora (S04 · paid) score 61.52 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Chen Liu is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 190% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front because those range-2 skills only connect from there. Cicero is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 120% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Theodora is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 50% of damage amplification 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 Theodora’s Art of Eternity applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Chen Liu swings into a line that cannot answer; Theodora raises Chen Liu’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Chen Liu holds the front, but nothing here heals. 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.
