Best Archer combos with William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror appears in 5 ranked Archer combos.

1. 153 FMB Warden · Edward the Confessor · William the Conqueror
   Warden (X06), Edward the Confessor (S01) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 67.91 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Warden is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 116% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front as the one built to survive the opening exchange. Edward the Confessor is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — King's Crossbow applies Suppress on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. William the Conqueror is the win condition, bringing 62% of the lineup's expected damage: 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 Warden’s Aspect of the Eagle produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Edward the Confessor and William the Conqueror both wait on; 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; Warden raises William the Conqueror’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: Edward the Confessor (S01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 9% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

2. 189 FMB Isabella I · Inquisitor · William the Conqueror
   Isabella I (S01), Inquisitor (S02) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 57.63 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Isabella I is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 258% of recovery across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. 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. William the Conqueror is the win condition, bringing 41% of the lineup's expected damage: 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 Inquisitor’s Atonement produces burns, the exact trigger Isabella I’s Everlasting Flame waits on; Isabella I’s Queen of the Storm produces burns, the exact trigger Inquisitor’s Atonement waits on; Isabella I’s Queen of the Storm applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so William the Conqueror swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Isabella I (S01) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 13% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending. How these scores work →

3. 193 FMB Immortal Guardian · Yukimura Sanada · William the Conqueror
   Immortal Guardian (S04), Yukimura Sanada (S00) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 55.67 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. Yukimura Sanada is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Scarlet Armor applies Silence on a 25% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. William the Conqueror is the win condition, bringing 60% of the lineup's expected damage: 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 Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor 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; Yukimura Sanada (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad.

4. 206 FMB Leonidas · Edward the Confessor · William the Conqueror
   Leonidas (S00), Edward the Confessor (S01) and William the Conqueror (S00) score 52.98 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   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 takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Edward the Confessor adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: King's Crossbow applies Suppress on a 35% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. William the Conqueror is the win condition, bringing 60% of the lineup's expected damage: 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; Edward the Confessor raises William the Conqueror’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own.

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. How these scores work →
