Best Footmen combos with Jiguang Qi

Jiguang Qi appears in 9 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 138 FMB Ashoka · North's Rage · Jiguang Qi
   Ashoka (X14), North's Rage (S00) and Jiguang Qi (S01) score 65.73 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 71% 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. 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. 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. The lineup works because Ashoka produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Jiguang Qi’s Unyelding waits on; North's Rage produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; North's Rage’s For the North! applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka 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 28% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

   Arslan is the win condition, bringing 65% of the lineup's expected damage: Ice and Fire puts 350% into 2 enemy squads every time it fires, 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. 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.

Genghis Khan is the win condition, bringing 59% of the lineup's expected damage: Hunting Wolf puts 213% into all enemy squads on a 50% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Hunk produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Jiguang Qi’s Unyelding and Genghis Khan’s Fortune's Favor both wait on; Hunk’s Yeet! applies Confuse and takes a squad out of the fight, so Genghis Khan swings into a line that cannot answer.
