Hellfire appears in 16 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 19 FMB Hellfire · Cyrus · Oliver
   Hellfire (X09), Cyrus (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 78.91 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hellfire is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 63% 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. Cyrus is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 54% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 88% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hellfire and Oliver both wait on; Hellfire produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Cyrus shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 40% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

Seraphina is the win condition, bringing 51% of the lineup's expected damage: Crimson Tide Fire Rain puts 285% into one enemy squad 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 Seraphina’s Firearm Brand produces mark, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Dark Crossbow Brand waits on; Helsingen’s Dark Crossbow Brand produces mark, the exact trigger Seraphina’s Firearm Brand waits on; Seraphina’s Crimson Tide Fire Rain produces burns, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow waits on.

11. 132 FMB Hellfire · Clovis I · Scarlet Reaver
    Hellfire (X09), Clovis I (X15) and Scarlet Reaver (X07) score 67.99 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Hellfire is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 60% 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. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 Hellfire 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 Scarlet Reaver swings into a line that cannot answer; Hellfire raises Scarlet Reaver’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; raw damage reaches only about 22% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

    Hellfire is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 60% 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. Pepin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 90% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.

    Hellfire is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 60% 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. Rough Rider brings a second damage line worth 30% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Guerilla Warfae puts 634% into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, 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 Hellfire produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice waits on; Hellfire raises Fortuneteller’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.
