1. 103 FMB Octavius · Rozen Blade · Caesar
   Octavius (S02 · paid), Rozen Blade (S03) and Caesar (SP · paid) score 63.86 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Octavius is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 251% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Rozen Blade is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Blitz applies Suppress for 1 round on a 30% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Caesar is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 204% of damage amplification 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 Rozen Blade’s Swarming Attack produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Caesar waits on; Rozen Blade produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Caesar’s Coalition Strike waits on; Octavius’s Augustus applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Caesar swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; Octavius (S02) 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 →
