Galahad appears in 12 ranked Archer combos.

1. 1 FMB Galahad · Penthesilea · Oliver
   Galahad (X23), Penthesilea (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 87.45 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Galahad is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 127% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Penthesilea is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 103% 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 88% 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 Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Galahad and Oliver both wait on; Penthesilea’s Hunting Domain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Penthesilea raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 54% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →
