Sundiata appears in 19 ranked Cavalry combos.

  1. 5 Cyrus, front rowSundiata, middle rowOliver, back row Cyrus · Sundiata · Oliver
    Cyrus (SP · paid), Sundiata (X15) and Oliver (X24) score 83.36 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Cyrus is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 54% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Sundiata brings a second damage line worth 25% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 66% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Sundiata and Oliver both wait on; Oliver produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Cyrus shuts off enemy recovery, so what Oliver deals stays dealt. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 53% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

    Roland is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 42% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Thorven is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 180% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Sundiata is the win condition, bringing 100% of the lineup's expected damage: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad 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.

Sundiata is the win condition, bringing 71% of the lineup's expected damage: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad 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 Octavius’s Augustus applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Sundiata swings into a line that cannot answer; Octavius raises Sundiata’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; Octavius (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →
