1. 13 FMB King Arthur · Zhao Yun · La Hire Current meta Beats 15 of 29 in battle 87.88/100 out of 100 ⇗
   King Arthur (SP · paid), Zhao Yun (X26) and La Hire (X22) score 87.88 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   King Arthur is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 164% 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. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 82% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all enemy squads every time it fires, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. La Hire 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, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because La Hire’s Tenacity produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger King Arthur’s Sword in the Stone waits on; Zhao Yun produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger King Arthur’s Sword in the Stone waits on; La Hire’s Shield Breaker applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

La Hire 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 91% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all enemy squads every time it fires, 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 La Hire’s Tenacity produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hasdrubal’s Tenacity waits on; Hasdrubal’s Counter-espionage applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer.

    Hasdrubal (X23), Hannibal (X28 · paid) and La Hire (X22) score 79.29 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

Hannibal adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. La Hire 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, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because La Hire’s Tenacity produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Hasdrubal’s Tenacity waits on; Hasdrubal’s Counter-espionage applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so La Hire swings into a line that cannot answer.

La Hire 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, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.

16. 222 FMB La Hire · Helsingen · Oliver Current meta Beats 1 of 8 reference lineups 85.39/100 out of 100 ⇗
    La Hire (footmen · X22), Helsingen (archer · X28) and Oliver (archer · X24) score 85.39 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    La Hire 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 takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Helsingen is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 10% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage 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 La Hire’s Tenacity produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow and Oliver’s Paladin's Resilience both wait on; La Hire’s Shield Breaker applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 37% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.
