Healer appears in 6 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 13 FMB Arslan · Healer · Scarlet Reaver developer pick Mid progression Beats 3 of 8 reference lineups 64.38/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Arslan (X11), Healer (X10) and Scarlet Reaver (X07) score 64.38 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Arslan is the win condition, bringing 55% of the lineup's expected damage: Ice and Fire puts 350% into 2 enemy squads every time it fires, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Healer 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 sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Scarlet Reaver is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 70% of damage amplification 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 Scarlet Reaver’s Debilitating Explosions applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Arslan swings into a line that cannot answer; Scarlet Reaver raises Arslan’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; attacks converge on the same squads, with no spread pressure across the line. 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.

2. 14 FMB Ashoka · Healer · Fortuneteller Mid progression Beats 3 of 8 reference lineups 80.54/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Ashoka (X14), Healer (X10) and Fortuneteller (X08) score 80.54 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 67% 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. Healer 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 sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Fortuneteller is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress, 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 Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice waits on; Healer produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

3. 16 FMB Clovis I · Healer · Ashoka Mid progression Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 81.68/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Clovis I (X15), Healer (X10) and Ashoka (X14) score 81.68 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Clovis I is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Territory Expansion applies Silence on a 60% roll, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Healer 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 sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 72% of the lineup's expected damage: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Clovis I produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Healer produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Clovis I’s Frankish Spear waits on; Clovis I’s Territory Expansion applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; raw damage reaches only about 27% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Healer 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 sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Pepin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 169% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, 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 Pepin’s Power of Staff waits on; Healer produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Pepin raises Ashoka’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
