1. 2 FMB Roland · Percival · Attila Current meta Beats 27 of 29 in battle 88.48/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Roland (X18), Percival (X25) and Attila (X27 · paid) score 88.48 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. Percival is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Targeted Strike applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Attila is the win condition, bringing 68% of the lineup's expected damage: Civilization Trample puts 750% into all enemy squads on a 65% 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 Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Attila’s Iron Calvary Surge waits on; Roland’s Paladins produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Attila waits on; Percival produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 18% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present.

Thorvi is the win condition, bringing 87% 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 Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Thorvi’s Thunderlance Thrust waits on; Percival produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on; Percival’s Targeted Strike applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Thorvi swings into a line that cannot answer.

    Thorven is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 618% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Percival is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Targeted Strike applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. 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 stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Thorven’s Spiral Edge produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Octavius’s Seizing Power waits on; Percival produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on; Thorven’s Spiral Edge applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Percival swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 7% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.
