1. 97 FMB War Lord · Jeanne d'Arc · Mary Tudor
   War Lord (S03), Jeanne d'Arc (SP · paid) and Mary Tudor (S00) score 65.05 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   War Lord is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 45% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Jeanne d'Arc is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Mary Tudor is the win condition, bringing 65% of the lineup's expected damage: Reign of Sorrow puts 368% into 2 enemy squads on a 50% 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 War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Jeanne d'Arc and Mary Tudor both wait on; Jeanne d'Arc’s Siege of Orleans produces prep-skips, the exact trigger War Lord waits on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Jeanne d'Arc and Mary Tudor both wait on. What you give up: little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output; Mary Tudor (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad. This is one of the lineups recommended in-game by the developers -- the score above is what that classic core is still worth against the current roster. How these scores work →

14. 176 FMB War Lord · North's Rage · Soaring Hawk

Soaring Hawk is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 20% of damage amplification across its kit, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line. The lineup works because War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger North's Rage waits on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger North's Rage and Soaring Hawk both wait on; War Lord raises North's Rage’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.
