Best Archer combos with William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror appears in 2 ranked Archer combos.

1. 11 FMB Immortal Guardian · Leonidas · William the Conqueror Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 67.03/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Immortal Guardian (S04), Leonidas (S00) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 67.03 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Immortal Guardian is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 20% 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. Leonidas is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Sharp Spear applies Silence on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. William the Conqueror is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: One Arrow One Kill puts 641% into one enemy squad on a 50% 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 Leonidas’s Sharp Spear applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so William the Conqueror swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; William the Conqueror (S00) 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.

2. 15 FMB Edward the Confessor · Leonidas · William the Conqueror developer pick Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 60.86/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Edward the Confessor (S01), Leonidas (S00) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 60.86 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Edward the Confessor is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 118% of damage amplification across its kit, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Leonidas is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Sharp Spear applies Silence on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. William the Conqueror is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: One Arrow One Kill puts 641% into one enemy squad on a 50% 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 Edward the Confessor’s King's Crossbow applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so William the Conqueror swings into a line that cannot answer; Edward the Confessor raises William the Conqueror’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; William the Conqueror (S00) 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. 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.
