B Ashoka · Queen Anne · Jade Rakshasa Mid progression 63.43/100 out of 100Ashoka (X14), Queen Anne (S00) and Jade Rakshasa (S02) score 63.43 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. Queen Anne is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Slaughter applies Suppress on a 30% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Jade Rakshasa brings a second damage line worth 18% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% 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 Queen Anne produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Queen Anne’s Slaughter applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Queen Anne (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

B Hellfire · Fortuneteller · Jade Rakshasa Mid progression 62.23/100 out of 100Hellfire (X09), Fortuneteller (X08) and Jade Rakshasa (S02) score 62.23 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. Fortuneteller is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Jade Rakshasa brings a second damage line worth 33% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% 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 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. What you give up: Jade Rakshasa (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several.

Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 65% 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. Jade Rakshasa brings a second damage line worth 17% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Cao Cao is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 151% 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 Jade Rakshasa produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Cao Cao raises Ashoka’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

B Theodora · Isabella I · Jade Rakshasa Starter 52.76/100 out of 100Theodora (S04 · paid), Isabella I (S01) and Jade Rakshasa (S02) score 52.76 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
Theodora is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 50% 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. Isabella I is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Queen of the Storm applies Suppress on a 70% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Jade Rakshasa is the win condition, bringing 56% of the lineup's expected damage: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% 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 Theodora’s Art of Eternity applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Jade Rakshasa swings into a line that cannot answer; Theodora raises Jade Rakshasa’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Isabella I (S01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →

B Desert Storm · Demon Spear · Jade Rakshasa Starter 51.10/100 out of 100Desert Storm (S04), Demon Spear (S00) and Jade Rakshasa (S02) score 51.10 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
Desert Storm is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — strips 18% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Demon Spear adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Tamashi kari applies Silence for 1 round on a 85% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Jade Rakshasa is the win condition, bringing 52% of the lineup's expected damage: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. Be clear about what this is: the three cover each other rather than trigger each other, so it earns its place on coverage, not on a chain. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Demon Spear (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

Isabella I is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Queen of the Storm applies Suppress on a 70% roll, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Rough Rider brings a second damage line worth 34% 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. Jade Rakshasa is the win condition, bringing 39% of the lineup's expected damage: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% 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 Isabella I’s Queen of the Storm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Jade Rakshasa swings into a line that cannot answer.

Peace Bringer is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 74% 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. Jade Rakshasa brings a second damage line worth 40% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Jade Lotus puts 162% x6 into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Cao Cao is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 151% 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. Be clear about what this is: the three cover each other rather than trigger each other, so it earns its place on coverage, not on a chain.

Beast Queen is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 100% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Jade Rakshasa is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% 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 Octavius’s Augustus applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Jade Rakshasa swings into a line that cannot answer; Octavius raises Jade Rakshasa’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Octavius (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →
