1. 1 FMB Boudica · Sakura Blossom · Robin Hood developer pick Mid progression Beats 8 of 8 reference lineups 64.29/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Boudica (X01 · paid), Sakura Blossom (X01) and Robin Hood (X21) score 64.29 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Boudica brings a second damage line worth 36% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Celtic Alliance puts 200% x3 into one enemy squad on a 70% roll, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Sakura Blossom 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. Robin Hood is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 562% 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 Sakura Blossom’s Senbon Sakura produces tempo, the exact trigger Boudica’s Song of Uprising waits on; Sakura Blossom raises Robin Hood’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: Boudica (X01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several. 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.

Sakura Blossom 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. Eselfred is the win condition, bringing 58% of the lineup's expected damage: Lady of the Mercians puts 522% into one enemy squad on a 65% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it.

Sakura Blossom 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. Elk is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 58% 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.
