B Eidolon · Helsingen · Frederick I Current meta 74.07/100 out of 100Eidolon (X07), Helsingen (X28) and Frederick I (X16) score 74.07 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
Eidolon is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 140% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Helsingen brings a second damage line worth 27% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Nightshadow Scorching Arrow puts 285% into one enemy squad on a 70% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 64% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% 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 Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow produces burns, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Frederick I’s Eagle on Fire produces burns, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow waits on; Eidolon produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 37% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad.
