Proven synergies
A different question from the grid above: not who Rainforest is listed with, but whose kit the skill text says Rainforest actually feeds — or feeds on. Each claim names the effect and, wherever the card records one, the skill producing it, so you can check it against the cards further down. Some of these pairs share no ranked lineup at all; each one says why.

B Rozen Blade · Farah · Rainforest developer pick Mid progression Beats 1 of 8 reference lineups 69.11/100 out of 100 Rozen Blade (S03), Farah (X11) and Rainforest (X08) score 69.11 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
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 takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Farah is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 100% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Rainforest adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Absolute Suppress applies Suppress on a 50% 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 Rozen Blade’s Swarming Attack produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Farah and Rainforest both wait on; Rozen Blade’s Blitz applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight for 1 round, so Farah swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 6% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a mid-era lineup anchored by Farah (X11). Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. 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.
