1. 4 FMB Thorven · Roland · Thorvi Current meta Beats 24 of 29 in battle 90.48/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Thorven (X29), Roland (X18) and Thorvi (X29) score 90.48 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Thorven is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 618% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Roland is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 42% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Thorvi is the win condition, bringing 100% of the lineup's expected damage: Thunderlance Thrust puts 450% into one enemy squad 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 Thorven’s Spiral Edge produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Roland’s Oath of Loyalty waits on; Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Thorvi’s Thunderlance Thrust waits on; Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; raw damage reaches only about 40% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

   Thorven is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 618% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Oliver is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 366% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Cyrus is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 54% 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 Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Oliver’s Paladin's Resilience waits on; Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on; Oliver produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on.

Saladin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: raises what enemies take by 338% across its kit, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because Saladin’s Whirlwind Slash produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Thorvi’s Thunderlance Thrust waits on; Thorvi 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 Thorvi swings into a line that cannot answer.

20. 84 FMB Roland · Thorven · Louis IX Current meta Beats 6 of 8 reference lineups 84.17/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Roland (X18), Thorven (X29) and Louis IX (X19) score 84.17 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    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 618% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Louis IX is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Miraculous Rainfall applies Silence for 2 rounds on a 55% 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 Roland’s Song of Roland produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Louis IX’s Royal Codes waits on; Roland’s Paladins produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Louis IX waits on; Thorven produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Roland’s Paladins waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 5% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; a focused finisher and spread pressure both present. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

16. 83 FMB Thorven · Galahad · Zhao Yun Current meta Beats 5 of 8 reference lineups 85.41/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Thorven (cavalry · X29), Galahad (archer · X23) and Zhao Yun (footmen · X26) score 85.41 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Thorven is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 618% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front to pull enemy attacks inward -- exactly where that belongs. Galahad is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 127% of damage reduction across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Zhao Yun is the win condition, bringing 95% of the lineup's expected damage: Dragon Battles in the Wild puts 300% x2 into all 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 Thorven’s Spiral Edge produces draws_fire, the exact trigger Galahad’s Pixie Bloodline waits on; Zhao Yun 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 Zhao Yun swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down; Thorven, Galahad, Zhao Yun only reaches its own squad, not the whole team. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.
