1. 47 FMB Clovis I · Soaring Hawk · Ashoka Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 79.70/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Clovis I (X15), Soaring Hawk (S04) and Ashoka (X14) score 79.70 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Clovis I is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Territory Expansion applies Silence on a 60% roll, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Soaring Hawk 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 64% of the lineup's expected damage: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Clovis I produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; Soaring Hawk produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Clovis I’s Frankish Spear waits on; Clovis I’s Territory Expansion applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; a mid-era lineup anchored by Clovis I (X15). Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

   Soaring Hawk 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.

The lineup works because Dach Tengri raises Soaring Hawk’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; raw damage reaches only about 6% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. 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.
