Jade Eagle is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rapid Throw applies Silence on a 40% 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 War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Jade Eagle’s Rapid Throw and Roku Boshuten’s Gou both wait on; Jade Eagle produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roku Boshuten’s Gokuraku Jodo waits on; Roku Boshuten’s Gokuraku Jodo applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Jade Eagle swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Jade Eagle (S04) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
