Best Footmen combos with Valkyrie

Valkyrie appears in 15 ranked Footmen combos.

1. 32 FMB Liberator · Hannibal · Valkyrie
   Liberator (X05), Hannibal (X28 · paid) and Valkyrie (X03) score 72.16 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Liberator is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 97% 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. Hannibal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Valkyrie is the win condition, bringing 91% of the lineup's expected damage: Apocalyptic Prayer puts 310% into one enemy squad on a 45% 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 Hannibal’s Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Liberator waits on; Liberator produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Valkyrie swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; Valkyrie (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. How these scores work →

   Cicero is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 126% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Hannibal is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Rear Escort applies Disarm, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Valkyrie is the win condition, bringing 79% of the lineup's expected damage: Apocalyptic Prayer puts 310% into one enemy squad on a 45% 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 Hannibal’s Dual Strike produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Cicero waits on; Cicero produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Hannibal’s Dual Strike waits on; Hannibal’s Rear Escort applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Valkyrie swings into a line that cannot answer.

3. 63 FMB Ashoka · King Cnut · Valkyrie
   Ashoka (X14), King Cnut (X17) and Valkyrie (X03) score 66.80 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   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 takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. King Cnut is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 60% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Valkyrie brings a second damage line worth 25% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Apocalyptic Prayer puts 310% into one enemy squad on a 45% 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 King Cnut produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Ashoka’s Bloodthirsty Ashoka waits on; King Cnut’s Frenzy Tides applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Ashoka swings into a line that cannot answer; King Cnut raises Ashoka’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; Valkyrie (X03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad.
