1. 21 FMB King Arthur · Liberator · Julian
   King Arthur (SP · paid), Liberator (X05) and Julian (X25) score 74.39 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 136% 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. Liberator is the second layer of armour -- when the first wall bends, this one is already set: carries 97% of damage reduction across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Julian is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 34% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, 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 King Arthur and Liberator both wait on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Liberator (X05) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →

   Liberator (X05), Hannibal (X28 · paid) and Harald III (X19) score 73.74 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Liberator is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 97% 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. Hannibal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Harald III adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Absolute Authority applies Taunt on a 55% roll, 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 Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Liberator waits on; Liberator produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Harald III swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 10% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

   Liberator is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 97% 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. Defender is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 30% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Spectral Reaper is the win condition, bringing 74% of the lineup's expected damage: Tamashi-kusari puts 742% into one enemy squad on a 35% 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 Defender’s Heavenly Smite produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Liberator and Spectral Reaper both wait on; Spectral Reaper shuts off enemy recovery, so what Spectral Reaper deals stays dealt; Defender raises Spectral Reaper’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 7% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Defender (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

   Liberator is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 97% 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. Rozen Blade is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Blitz applies Suppress for 1 round on a 30% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. The Immortal is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 54% 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 Rozen Blade’s Swarming Attack produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Liberator and The Immortal both wait on; Rozen Blade’s Blitz applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so The Immortal swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 4% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; The Immortal (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad.
