1. 17 FMB Ashoka · Demon Spear · Genghis Khan Mid progression Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 77.91/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Ashoka (X14), Demon Spear (S00) and Genghis Khan (S01) score 77.91 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   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 takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Demon Spear is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Tamashi kari applies Silence for 1 round on a 85% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Genghis Khan brings a second damage line worth 20% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Hunting Wolf puts 213% into all enemy squads on a 50% 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 Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Genghis Khan’s Fortune's Favor waits on; Demon Spear produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Demon Spear’s Tamashi kari applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: a mid-era lineup anchored by Ashoka (X14); the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Demon Spear is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Tamashi kari applies Silence for 1 round on a 85% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Fortuneteller adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress, 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 Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice waits on; Demon Spear produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Demon Spear’s Tamashi kari applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer.

The lineup works because Clovis I produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Demon Spear 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 Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer.
