B War Lord · Jeanne d'Arc · Mary Tudor Current meta 65.05/100 out of 100War Lord (S03), Jeanne d'Arc (SP · paid) and Mary Tudor (S00) score 65.05 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
War Lord is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 45% 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. Jeanne d'Arc is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Mary Tudor is the win condition, bringing 65% of the lineup's expected damage: Reign of Sorrow puts 368% into 2 enemy squads on a 50% 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 War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Jeanne d'Arc and Mary Tudor both wait on; Jeanne d'Arc’s Siege of Orleans produces prep-skips, the exact trigger War Lord waits on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Jeanne d'Arc and Mary Tudor both wait on. What you give up: little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output; Mary Tudor (S00) 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 →

War Lord is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 45% 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. 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. Mary Tudor is the win condition, bringing 66% of the lineup's expected damage: Reign of Sorrow puts 368% into 2 enemy squads on a 50% 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 War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Warhammer and Mary Tudor both wait on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Mary Tudor waits on; Warhammer shuts off enemy recovery, so what Mary Tudor deals stays dealt. What you give up: Mary Tudor (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 9% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

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. Mary Tudor is the win condition, bringing 69% of the lineup's expected damage: Reign of Sorrow puts 368% into 2 enemy squads on a 50% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it.
