1. 8 FMB Ashoka · Vikram · Genghis Khan Mid progression Beats 3 of 8 reference lineups 78.39/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Ashoka (X14), Vikram (X04) and Genghis Khan (S01) score 78.39 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 73% of the lineup's expected damage: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Vikram is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 164% of recovery across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Genghis Khan brings a second damage line worth 20% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Hunting Wolf puts 213% into all enemy squads on a 50% 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 Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Genghis Khan’s Fortune's Favor waits on; Vikram produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Vikram’s Alluring Arm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: a mid-era lineup anchored by Ashoka (X14); the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

19. 27 FMB Jiguang Qi · Genghis Khan · Cao Cao developer pick Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 61.41/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Jiguang Qi (S01), Genghis Khan (S01) and Cao Cao (S01) score 61.41 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Jiguang Qi is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Genghis Khan brings a second damage line worth 39% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Hunting Wolf puts 213% into all enemy squads on a 50% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Cao Cao is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: raises what enemies take by 151% 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 Genghis Khan produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Jiguang Qi’s Unyelding waits on; Jiguang Qi produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Genghis Khan’s Fortune's Favor waits on. What you give up: no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. This is one of the lineups recommended in-game by the developers -- the score above is what that classic core is still worth against the current roster.
