1. 59 FMB John I · Bjorn · Saladin
   John I (X13), Bjorn (X04) and Saladin (SP · paid) score 72.23 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   John I is the win condition, bringing 70% of the lineup's expected damage: Lord of the Sea puts 421% into 2 enemy squads on a 40% roll, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Bjorn is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 90% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Saladin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 75% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger John I and Bjorn both wait on; Bjorn’s Exploit Weakness applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so John I swings into a line that cannot answer; Bjorn raises John I’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 26% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Bjorn (X04) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →
