B Jeanne d'Arc · Black Prince · Lionheart Current meta 62.91/100 out of 100Jeanne d'Arc (SP · paid), Black Prince (S01) and Lionheart (S01) score 62.91 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
Jeanne d'Arc 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 on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Black Prince is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Siege applies Suppress for 2 rounds on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lionheart is the win condition, bringing 60% of the lineup's expected damage: Lionheart's Charge puts 343% into one enemy squad on a 60% 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 Jeanne d'Arc’s Siege of Orleans produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Black Prince and Lionheart both wait on; Black Prince produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Jeanne d'Arc’s Siege of Orleans waits on; Black Prince’s Dragon Siege applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Lionheart swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; Black Prince (S01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. 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. How these scores work →

Army Breaker is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 48% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them.

Lionheart is the win condition, bringing 69% of the lineup's expected damage: Lionheart's Charge puts 343% into one enemy squad on a 60% 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 Army Breaker’s Formation: Tranquility applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Lionheart swings into a line that cannot answer; Army Breaker raises Lionheart’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

Isabella I is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 258% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Warhammer is the saboteur: shutting off enemy recovery keeps the damage the other two deal dealt — strips 40% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lionheart is the win condition, bringing 61% of the lineup's expected damage: Lionheart's Charge puts 343% into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.
