  1. 121 Sky Breaker, front rowWitch Hunter, middle rowFrederick I, back row Sky Breaker · Witch Hunter · Frederick I
    Sky Breaker (S03), Witch Hunter (S02) and Frederick I (X16) score 63.57 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Sky Breaker is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Witch Hunter adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Terrifying Presence applies Silence on a 90% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 71% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads 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 Witch Hunter’s Purifying Flame produces burns, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Sky Breaker produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Sky Breaker’s Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Frederick I swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Witch Hunter (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. 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. How these scores work →

    Al-Hawra (X01 · paid), Sky Breaker (S03) and Lilith (X09) score 70.58 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Al-Hawra is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 78% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Sky Breaker is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lilith is the win condition, bringing 65% of the lineup's expected damage: Infatuated Shadow puts 450% into one enemy squad 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 Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Sky Breaker and Lilith both wait on; Al-Hawra produces control effects, the exact trigger Lilith’s Pandora's Box waits on; Sky Breaker produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Al-Hawra’s Desert Phantom waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad; Sky Breaker (S03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →

Eselfred is the win condition, bringing 70% 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. The lineup works because Sakura Blossom’s Senbon Sakura produces tempo, the exact trigger Eselfred’s Fortified Line of Attack waits on; Sky Breaker’s Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Eselfred swings into a line that cannot answer; Sakura Blossom raises Eselfred’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

    Immortal Guardian (S04), Divine Arrow (S04) and Sky Breaker (S03) score 55.92 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Immortal Guardian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Divine Arrow is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — For Heaven applies Disarm on a 25% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Sky Breaker adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Divine Arrow’s For Heaven applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Sky Breaker swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad.

    Divine Arrow is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — For Heaven applies Disarm on a 25% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Edward the Confessor adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: King's Crossbow applies Suppress on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back.

    Isabella I (S01), Sky Breaker (S03) and Witch Hunter (S02) score 51.61 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Isabella I is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 258% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Sky Breaker is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Witch Hunter adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Terrifying Presence applies Silence on a 90% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it.

    Sky Breaker is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Rough Rider is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: Guerilla Warfae puts 634% into one enemy squad on a 55% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Jade Eagle adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: 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.
