Hunk appears in 5 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 22 FMB Hunk · Bleeding Steed · Valkyrie developer pick Mid progression Beats 1 of 8 reference lineups 61.42/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Hunk (X01), Bleeding Steed (S03) and Valkyrie (X03) score 61.42 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Hunk is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Yeet! applies Confuse on a 30% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Bleeding Steed is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 80% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Valkyrie is the win condition, bringing 87% of the lineup's expected damage: Apocalyptic Prayer puts 310% into one enemy squad on a 45% 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 Hunk’s Yeet! applies Confuse and takes a squad out of the fight, so Valkyrie swings into a line that cannot answer; Bleeding Steed raises Valkyrie’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Hunk holds the front and Bleeding Steed keeps it standing. 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. 45 FMB Clovis I · Hunk · Ashoka Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 79.91/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Clovis I (X15), Hunk (X01) and Ashoka (X14) score 79.91 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. Hunk adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Yeet! applies Confuse on a 30% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 69% 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; Hunk 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; a mid-era lineup anchored by Clovis I (X15). Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 78% 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 Hunk’s Yeet! produces burns, the exact trigger Isabella I’s Everlasting Flame waits on; Hunk produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Hunk’s Yeet! applies Confuse and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: a mid-era lineup anchored by Ashoka (X14); raw damage reaches only about 25% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

4. 53 FMB Ashoka · Hunk · Fortuneteller Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 79.55/100 out of 100 ⇗

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.

5. 56 FMB Ashoka · Hunk · Pepin Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 79.89/100 out of 100 ⇗

The lineup works because Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Pepin’s Power of Staff waits on; Hunk produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Hunk’s Yeet! applies Confuse and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer.
