1. 16 FMB Warden · Edward the Confessor · Eselfred Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 83.55/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Warden (X06), Edward the Confessor (S01) and Eselfred (X14) score 83.55 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   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 takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Edward the Confessor is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 118% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Eselfred is the win condition, bringing 83% of the lineup's expected damage: Lady of the Mercians puts 522% into one enemy squad on a 65% 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 Edward the Confessor’s King's Crossbow and Eselfred’s Thunder and Heavy Arrows both wait on; Edward the Confessor’s King's Crossbow applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Eselfred swings into a line that cannot answer; Warden raises Eselfred’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: a mid-era lineup anchored by Warden (X06); raw damage reaches only about 18% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Lilith is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Infatuated Shadow applies Confuse on a 50% 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 Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Edward the Confessor’s King's Crossbow and Lilith’s Poison Needle both wait on; Edward the Confessor produces control effects, the exact trigger Lilith’s Pandora's Box waits on; Edward the Confessor’s King's Crossbow applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Lilith swings into a line that cannot answer.

   Edward the Confessor is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 118% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three.
