1. 10 FMB Don Quixote · Roland · Thorven
   Don Quixote (X22), Roland (X18) and Thorven (X29) score 82.14 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Don Quixote is the win condition, bringing 100% of the lineup's expected damage: Parry puts 530% into 3 enemy squads on a 65% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. 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 sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. 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 stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Roland’s Paladins produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Don Quixote and Thorven both wait on; Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on; Roland produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 20% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a current-era lineup with no legacy weak point. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

Farah is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 100% 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 Defender’s Heavenly Smite produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Thorven and Farah both wait on; Defender produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on; Thorven’s Spiral Edge applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Farah swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 6% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Defender (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

7. 120 FMB Fortuneteller · Thorven · Ashoka
   Fortuneteller (footmen · X08), Thorven (cavalry · X29) and Ashoka (footmen · X14) score 68.12 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Fortuneteller is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Thorven is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 180% 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 65% 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 Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice waits on; Fortuneteller produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge and Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka both wait on; Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer.
