   Ashoka brings a second damage line worth 22% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Clovis I is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Territory Expansion applies Silence on a 60% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 69% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all 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 Clovis I produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Clovis I’s Frankish Spear waits on; Clovis I’s Territory Expansion applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer.
