1. 3 FMB Roland · Cyrus · Oliver Current meta Beats 24 of 29 in battle 89.27/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Roland (X18), Cyrus (SP · paid) and Oliver (X24) score 89.27 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Roland is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 42% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Cyrus is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 54% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Roland’s Song of Roland waits on; Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Epic Conqueror and Oliver’s Paladin's Resilience both wait on; Cyrus produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 32% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

17. 17 FMB Beowulf · Zhuge Liang · Oliver Current meta Beats 13 of 29 in battle 92.13/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Beowulf (SP · paid), Zhuge Liang (X26) and Oliver (X24) score 92.13 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Beowulf is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Dragon Slayer applies Disarm, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Zhuge Liang is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 70% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 Zhuge Liang’s Rapid Crossbow Fire produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Beowulf and Oliver both wait on; Beowulf’s Dragon Slayer applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Beowulf raises Oliver’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; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

The lineup works because Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Seraphina’s Redflame Curse waits on; Tomyris’s Vanguard Defense applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Oliver swings into a line that cannot answer; Seraphina shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt.

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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Thorvi is the win condition, bringing 58% of the lineup's expected damage: Thunderlance Thrust puts 450% into one enemy squad 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 Penthesilea’s Twin Fates produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Oliver and Thorvi both wait on; Penthesilea’s Hunting Domain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Thorvi swings into a line that cannot answer; Penthesilea raises Thorvi’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; damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down.
