1. 3 FMB Julian · Penthesilea · Oliver Current meta Beats 27 of 29 in battle 86.47/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Julian (X25), Penthesilea (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 86.47 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. Penthesilea is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 106% of damage amplification across its kit, 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; 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: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several.

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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back.

The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Galahad and Oliver both wait on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output.

The lineup works because Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver waits on; Oliver produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Frederick I’s Eagle on Fire applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer.

    Robin Hood (X21), Julian (X25) and Beowulf (SP · paid) score 82.40 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Robin Hood is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 562% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Beowulf is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Slayer applies Disarm, 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 Beowulf waits on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Robin Hood swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Robin Hood’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

Julian is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 34% 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 Hannibal’s Rear Escort produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Alberich’s Treasure Holder waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Alberich swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 9% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.
