Nicolas Flamel appears in 14 ranked Archer combos.

1. 9 FMB Tomyris · Nicolas Flamel · Frederick I
   Tomyris (X28), Nicolas Flamel (X18) and Frederick I (X16) score 80.64 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Tomyris is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Vanguard Defense applies Taunt for 1 round on a 80% roll, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Nicolas Flamel brings a second damage line worth 44% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Shadow of Star puts 220% x3 into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 54% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% 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 Nicolas Flamel’s Alchemical Trick produces burns, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Frederick I’s Eagle on Fire produces burns, the exact trigger Nicolas Flamel’s Eternal Flame waits on; Nicolas Flamel produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 43% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

   Seraphina (X28), Ramses II (SP · paid) and Nicolas Flamel (X18) score 77.80 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Seraphina brings a second damage line worth 36% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Crimson Tide Fire Rain puts 285% into one enemy squad on a 70% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Ramses II is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 238% of recovery across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Nicolas Flamel is the win condition, bringing 64% of the lineup's expected damage: Shadow of Star puts 220% x3 into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.

Ashen Verdict is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Righteous Fervor applies Disarm on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back.

6. 65 FMB Helsingen · Hasdrubal · Nicolas Flamel
   Helsingen (archer · X28), Hasdrubal (footmen · X23) and Nicolas Flamel (archer · X18) score 72.92 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Helsingen brings a second damage line worth 34% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Nightshadow Scorching Arrow puts 285% into one enemy squad on a 70% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Hasdrubal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Counter-espionage applies Silence for 2 rounds on a 85% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Nicolas Flamel is the win condition, bringing 66% of the lineup's expected damage: Shadow of Star puts 220% x3 into one enemy squad on a 55% 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 Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow produces burns, the exact trigger Nicolas Flamel’s Eternal Flame waits on; Nicolas Flamel’s Alchemical Trick produces burns, the exact trigger Helsingen’s Nightshadow Scorching Arrow waits on; Hasdrubal’s Counter-espionage applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Nicolas Flamel swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; raw damage reaches only about 21% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

   Seraphina (archer · X28), Hasdrubal (footmen · X23) and Nicolas Flamel (archer · X18) score 72.82 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Seraphina is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Crimson Tide Fire Rain applies Silence on a 70% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Hasdrubal adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Counter-espionage applies Silence for 2 rounds on a 85% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Nicolas Flamel is the win condition, bringing 64% of the lineup's expected damage: Shadow of Star puts 220% x3 into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.
