Best Archer combos with Hector

Hector appears in 17 ranked Archer combos.

1. 23 FMB Hector · Warden · Frederick I
   Hector (X15 · paid), Warden (X06) and Frederick I (X16) score 77.70 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hector is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 100% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Warden is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 116% of damage reduction across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 59% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% 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 Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hector and Frederick I both wait on; Hector produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Warden raises Frederick I’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: Warden (X06) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 40% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

   War Lord is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 45% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. North's Rage is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — For the North! applies Suppress on a 30% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Hector is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 400% of recovery 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 War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger North's Rage waits on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger North's Rage and Hector both wait on; North's Rage’s For the North! applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Hector swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: North's Rage (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 14% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

   Hector is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 400% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Al-Hawra is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 78% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Warhammer is the saboteur: shutting off enemy recovery keeps the damage the other two deal dealt — strips 40% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, 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 Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hector and Warhammer both wait on; Hector produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom waits on; Warhammer shuts off enemy recovery, so what Hector deals stays dealt.

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 stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line.
