1. 30 FMB Helsingen · Ramses II · Nicolas Flamel Current meta Beats 0 of 29 in battle 86.54/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Helsingen (X28), Ramses II (SP · paid) and Nicolas Flamel (X18) score 86.54 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Helsingen is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 10% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, 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 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; Ramses II raises Nicolas Flamel’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound; raw damage reaches only about 27% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

2. 71 FMB Seraphina · Robin Hood · Nicolas Flamel Current meta Beats 6 of 8 reference lineups 82.21/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Seraphina (X28), Robin Hood (X21) and Nicolas Flamel (X18) score 82.21 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. Robin Hood is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 562% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage 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 47% 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 Seraphina’s Crimson Tide Fire Rain produces burns, the exact trigger Nicolas Flamel’s Eternal Flame waits on; Nicolas Flamel’s Alchemical Trick produces burns, the exact trigger Seraphina’s Crimson Tide Fire Rain waits on; Seraphina’s Crimson Tide Fire Rain applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Nicolas Flamel swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt; the damage runs off different engines, so the three do not compound. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

   Penthesilea is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 106% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three.

Oliver is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 366% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage 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 Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver waits on; Penthesilea’s Hunting Domain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Penthesilea raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

    Henry V is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 408% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Nicolas Flamel is the win condition, bringing 48% 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 Henry V’s Wildfire of Wales produces burns, the exact trigger Nicolas Flamel’s Eternal Flame and Seraphina’s Crimson Tide Fire Rain both wait on; Henry V’s Wildfire of Wales applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Nicolas Flamel swings into a line that cannot answer; Seraphina shuts off enemy recovery, so what Nicolas Flamel deals stays dealt. What you give up: no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt; raw damage reaches only about 37% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
