Proven synergies

A different question from the grid above: not who Kublai is listed with, but whose kit the skill text says Kublai actually feeds — or feeds on. Each claim names the effect and, wherever the card records one, the skill producing it, so you can check it against the cards further down. Some of these pairs share no ranked lineup at all; each one says why.

  1. 37 Kublai, front rowYukimura Sanada, middle rowWilliam Wallace, back row Kublai · Yukimura Sanada · William Wallace developer pick Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 45.16/100 out of 100
    Kublai (S00), Yukimura Sanada (S00) and William Wallace (S00) score 45.16 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Kublai is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: Sentencing puts 357.5% into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and takes the front because those range-2 skills only connect from there. Yukimura Sanada is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Scarlet Armor applies Silence on a 25% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. William Wallace is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: Eye of the Storm puts 667% into one enemy squad 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 Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so William Wallace swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Kublai holds the front, but nothing here heals. 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.
