Cyrus appears in 19 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 5 FMB Cyrus · Sundiata · Oliver
   Cyrus (SP · paid), Sundiata (X15) and Oliver (X24) score 83.36 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Cyrus is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 54% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Sundiata brings a second damage line worth 25% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 66% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Sundiata and Oliver both wait on; Oliver produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Cyrus shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 53% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 73% 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Nevsky waits on; Nevsky produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Cyrus produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Nevsky’s Battle Skill Echo waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 61% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

3. 17 FMB Hector · Cyrus · Oliver
   Hector (archer · X15 · paid), Cyrus (cavalry · SP · paid) and Oliver (archer · X24) score 78.92 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hector is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 400% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them.

Oliver is the win condition, bringing 70% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hector and Oliver both wait on; Hector produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Cyrus shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt.
