Best Archer combos with Warden

Warden appears in 50 ranked Archer combos — showing the top 24.

1. 7 FMB Warden · Inquisitor · Eselfred Mid progression Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 83.86/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Warden (X06), Inquisitor (S02) and Eselfred (X14) score 83.86 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Warden is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 65% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Inquisitor is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Judgement of Justice applies Disarm on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Eselfred is the win condition, bringing 73% of the lineup's expected damage: Lady of the Mercians puts 522% into one enemy squad on a 65% roll, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Eselfred’s Thunder and Heavy Arrows and Inquisitor’s Judgement of Justice both wait on; Inquisitor’s Judgement of Justice applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Eselfred swings into a line that cannot answer; Warden raises Eselfred’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: Inquisitor (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 21% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

19. 28 FMB Warden · Charles the Great · Lilith Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 82.45/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Warden (X06), Charles the Great (S01) and Lilith (X09) score 82.45 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Warden is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 65% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Charles the Great is the second amplifier -- with two heroes raising the output, the carry hits far above its own numbers: carries 85% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lilith is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Infatuated Shadow applies Confuse 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 Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Charles the Great’s Broken Armor and Lilith’s Poison Needle both wait on; Warden raises Lilith’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: Charles the Great (S01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 17% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

14. 39 FMB Pepin · Warden · Lilith Mid progression Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 78.86/100 out of 100 ⇗
    Pepin (footmen · X12), Warden (archer · X06) and Lilith (archer · X09) score 78.86 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

    Pepin is the saboteur, stripping the enemy's stats before the blows land: strips 169% of enemy Might, Resistance and damage across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Warden is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 65% of damage amplification across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Lilith is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Infatuated Shadow applies Confuse 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 Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Lilith’s Poison Needle and Pepin’s Thunderstruck both wait on; Lilith produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Pepin’s Power of Staff waits on; Pepin raises Lilith’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 8% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line, with no finisher to focus one squad down. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

Ashoka is the win condition, bringing 84% of the lineup's expected damage: Bloodthirsty Ashoka puts 210% x5 into one enemy squad on a 60% roll, and stays in the back, where the range-3 skills still touch the enemy front line.
