Best Cavalry combos with Don Quixote

Don Quixote appears in 16 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 6 FMB Don Quixote · Cyrus · Oliver
   Don Quixote (X22), Cyrus (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 82.89 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Don Quixote brings a second damage line worth 33% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Parry puts 530% into 3 enemy squads on a 65% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 59% 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 Don Quixote 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: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 59% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

   Don Quixote (X22), Roland (X18) and Thorven (X29) score 82.14 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Don Quixote is the win condition, bringing 100% of the lineup's expected damage: Parry puts 530% into 3 enemy squads on a 65% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Roland is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 42% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Thorven is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 180% 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 Roland’s Paladins produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Don Quixote and Thorven both wait on; Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on; Roland produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 20% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a current-era lineup with no legacy weak point.

Roland is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 42% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Louis IX is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Miraculous Rainfall applies Silence for 2 rounds on a 55% roll, 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 Roland’s Paladins produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Don Quixote and Louis IX both wait on; Louis IX produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on; Louis IX’s Miraculous Rainfall applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Don Quixote swings into a line that cannot answer.

The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Don Quixote waits on; Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Don Quixote waits on; Ragnar raises Don Quixote’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 30% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output. How these scores work →

Zhuge Liang is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 70% 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 Zhuge Liang’s Rapid Crossbow Fire produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Don Quixote and Thorven both wait on; Thorven’s Spiral Edge applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Don Quixote swings into a line that cannot answer; Thorven raises Don Quixote’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 21% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →
