Best Cavalry combos with The Brave

The Brave appears in 9 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 120 FMB Octavius · The Brave · Caesar
   Octavius (S02 · paid), The Brave (S04) and Caesar (SP · paid) score 59.68 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Octavius is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 251% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. The Brave is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Freezing Gaze applies Disarm on a 80% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Caesar is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 204% 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. The lineup works because The Brave produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Caesar’s Coalition Strike waits on; Octavius’s Augustus applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Caesar swings into a line that cannot answer; Octavius raises Caesar’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one 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. How these scores work →

2. 162 FMB Ragnar · The Brave · Bjorn
   Ragnar (X12 · paid), The Brave (S04) and Bjorn (X04) score 58.25 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Ragnar is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 180% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. The Brave is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Freezing Gaze applies Disarm on a 80% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Bjorn is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 90% 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. The lineup works because The Brave’s Freezing Gaze applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ragnar swings into a line that cannot answer; The Brave raises Ragnar’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 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

   Lawman is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 164% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. 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. The Brave is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Freezing Gaze applies Disarm on a 80% 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 The Brave’s Freezing Gaze applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Rough Rider swings into a line that cannot answer; The Brave raises Rough Rider’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 4% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster.

   Cleopatra VII (S03 · paid), The Brave (S04) and Bjorn (X04) score 55.35 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Cleopatra VII is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Mesmerizing Posture applies Confuse on a 50% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. The Brave adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Freezing Gaze applies Disarm on a 80% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back.

The lineup works because War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Heaven's Justice waits on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger The Brave and Heaven's Justice both wait on; The Brave’s Freezing Gaze applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Heaven's Justice swings into a line that cannot answer.
