1. 73 FMB Vikram · Chen Liu · Julian
   Vikram (X04), Chen Liu (X01) and Julian (X25) score 65.52 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Vikram is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — 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. Chen Liu is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 190% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. Julian is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 34% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, 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 Julian’s Oath of Domionion produces extra basic attacks, the exact trigger Chen Liu waits on; Vikram’s Alluring Arm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Chen Liu 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; Chen Liu (X01) 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 →

2. 85 FMB Alexander · Vikram · Fortuneteller
   Alexander (SP · paid), Vikram (X04) and Fortuneteller (X08) score 64.13 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Alexander is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 325% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage in total, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Vikram is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 164% of recovery across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Fortuneteller is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul Sacrifice applies Suppress, 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 Vikram produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Fortuneteller’s Soul Sacrifice waits on; Vikram’s Alluring Arm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Fortuneteller swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; raw damage reaches only about 15% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. How these scores work →

The lineup works because Vikram’s Alluring Arm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Scarlet Reaver swings into a line that cannot answer.
