1. 3 FMB Hannibal · Cleopatra VII · Zhao Yun Current meta Beats 26 of 29 in battle 86.49/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Hannibal (X28 · paid), Cleopatra VII (S03 · paid) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 86.49 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hannibal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rear Escort applies Disarm, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Cleopatra VII adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Mesmerizing Posture applies Confuse on a 50% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 92% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all 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 Hannibal’s Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Cleopatra VII waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Cleopatra VII’s Dazzling Shield waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer.

    Gustav is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Uprising applies Suppress, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Hannibal adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 97% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all 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 Gustav’s Uprising applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer; Gustav raises Zhao Yun’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound.

    Roland is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 180% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Hannibal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. 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 Hannibal’s Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver waits on; Oliver produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Oliver’s Paladin's Resilience waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 29% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.
