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.

   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. Tura Cartel brings a second damage line worth 23% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Serpent's Fang puts 476% x4 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Thorvi is the win condition, bringing 77% 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.
