   Clovis I (X15), Bleeding Steed (S03) and Ashoka (X14) score 79.91 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   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 takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Bleeding Steed is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 80% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 72% of the lineup's expected damage: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line.

   Ashoka (footmen · X14), Warden (archer · X06) and Clovis I (footmen · X15) score 81.93 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 68% of the lineup's expected damage: 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. Warden is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 65% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka and Clovis I’s Salic Law both wait on; Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Clovis I’s Frankish Spear waits on; Clovis I produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 15% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a mid-era lineup anchored by Clovis I (X15). Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
