1. 21 FMB Zhuge Liang · Frederick I · Oliver Current meta Beats 10 of 29 in battle 87.05/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Zhuge Liang (X26), Frederick I (X16) and Oliver (X24) score 87.05 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Zhuge Liang is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 70% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Frederick I brings a second damage line worth 17% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 366% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage 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 Oliver waits on; Oliver produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Zhuge Liang raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; a current-era lineup with no legacy weak point. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
