1. 1 FMB King Arthur · Hannibal · Zhao Yun
   King Arthur (SP · paid), Hannibal (X28 · paid) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 90.15 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   King Arthur is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 136% 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. 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. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 89% 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 King Arthur waits on; King Arthur produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Zhao Yun produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger King Arthur’s Sword in the Stone waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 71% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

   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. Chen Liu is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 190% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 94% 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 Chen Liu waits on; Chen Liu produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike 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.

5. 40 FMB Lagertha · Hannibal · Sundiata
   Lagertha (footmen · X27), Hannibal (footmen · X28 · paid) and Sundiata (cavalry · X15) score 75.90 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Lagertha is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 137% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. 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. Sundiata is the win condition, bringing 95% of the lineup's expected damage: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad on a 40% 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 Hannibal’s Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Sundiata waits on; Sundiata produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Sundiata swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 14% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a mid-era lineup anchored by Hannibal (X28). How these scores work →
