Best Footmen combos with Nevsky

Nevsky appears in 10 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 20 FMB Achilles · Nevsky · Zhao Yun
   Achilles (SP · paid), Nevsky (X27) and Zhao Yun (X26) score 75.46 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Achilles is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 500% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Nevsky brings a second damage line worth 17% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Tactical Strike puts 320% x2 into 2 enemy squads on a 60% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 67% 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 Achilles produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Nevsky’s Battle Skill Echo waits on; Achilles’s Blade of Judgment applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

   Alberich is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 27% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Nevsky brings a second damage line worth 20% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Tactical Strike puts 320% x2 into 2 enemy squads on a 60% roll, 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.

What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad.
