1. 70 FMB Penthesilea · Henry II · Oliver Current meta Beats 6 of 8 reference lineups 83.13/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Penthesilea (SP · paid), Henry II (X20) and Oliver (X24) score 83.13 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Penthesilea is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 106% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Henry II brings a second damage line worth 31% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Spear of the Dynasty puts 260% x4 into one enemy squad every time it fires, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver waits on; Penthesilea’s Hunting Domain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Penthesilea raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

Helsingen is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 10% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Henry II is the win condition, bringing 56% of the lineup's expected damage: Spear of the Dynasty puts 260% x4 into one enemy squad 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 Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Blackflame Curse waits on; Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Henry II swings into a line that cannot answer; Tomyris raises Henry II’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; no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

    Tomyris (X28), Cleopatra VII (S03 · paid) and Henry II (X20) score 80.93 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Tomyris brings a second damage line worth 26% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Fatal Arrow puts 200% into one enemy squad every time it fires, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Cleopatra VII is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Mesmerizing Posture applies Confuse on a 50% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Henry II is the win condition, bringing 61% of the lineup's expected damage: Spear of the Dynasty puts 260% x4 into one enemy squad 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 Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Cleopatra VII’s Dazzling Shield waits on; Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Henry II swings into a line that cannot answer; Tomyris raises Henry II’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: a mid-era lineup anchored by Tomyris (X28); a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

22. 212 FMB Julian · Henry II · Oliver Current meta Beats 1 of 8 reference lineups 81.98/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Julian (X25), Henry II (X20) and Oliver (X24) score 81.98 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Julian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 5% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Henry II brings a second damage line worth 31% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Spear of the Dynasty puts 260% x4 into one enemy squad every time it fires, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver waits on. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; 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.

Henry V is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 408% of recovery across its kit, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Henry V’s Wildfire Rhapsody waits on; Henry II produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom waits on; Al-Hawra raises Henry II’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.
