1. 6 FMB Gustav · Geraint · Lagertha developer pick Current meta Beats 22 of 29 in battle 85.64/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Gustav (X20), Geraint (X24) and Lagertha (X27) score 85.64 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Gustav is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Uprising applies Suppress, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Geraint adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Deadly Roar puts 300% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lagertha is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 64% of damage amplification 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 Gustav’s Aligned Force produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Geraint’s Resilience and Lagertha’s Counterattack Tactics both wait on; Gustav’s Uprising applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Lagertha swings into a line that cannot answer; Gustav raises Lagertha’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 16% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. This is one of the lineups recommended in-game by the developers, and the scorecard shows why it earns the recommendation.

21. 187 FMB Harald III · Lagertha · Zhao Yun Current meta Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 81.24/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Harald III (X19), Lagertha (X27) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 81.24 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Harald III is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Absolute Authority applies Taunt on a 55% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Lagertha is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 64% 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 75% 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 Harald III’s Absolute Authority produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Lagertha’s Counterattack Tactics waits on; Harald III’s Absolute Authority applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer; Lagertha raises Zhao Yun’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: a focused finisher and spread pressure both present; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
