1. 3 FMB Sky Breaker · Witch Hunter · Frederick I developer pick Mid progression Beats 4 of 8 reference lineups 72.33/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Sky Breaker (S03), Witch Hunter (S02) and Frederick I (X16) score 72.33 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Sky Breaker is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm, and takes the front as the sturdiest of the three. Witch Hunter adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Terrifying Presence applies Silence on a 90% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 61% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% 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 Witch Hunter’s Purifying Flame produces burns, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Sky Breaker produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Sky Breaker’s Soul of the Mountain applies Disarm and takes a squad out of the fight, so Frederick I swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Sky Breaker (S03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; Sky Breaker both holds the front and heals it. 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.

2. 5 FMB Henry V · Witch Hunter · Frederick I developer pick Mid progression Beats 2 of 8 reference lineups 73.44/100 out of 100 ⇗
   Henry V (X17), Witch Hunter (S02) and Frederick I (X16) score 73.44 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   Henry V is the lifeline: that healing decides whether this lineup is still standing in round five — carries 408% 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. Witch Hunter is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Terrifying Presence applies Silence on a 90% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Frederick I is the win condition, bringing 51% of the lineup's expected damage: Eagle on Fire puts 365% into 2 enemy squads on a 70% 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 Henry V’s Wildfire of Wales produces burns, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Henry V produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Frederick I’s Frenzy War waits on; Henry V’s Wildfire of Wales applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight for 2 rounds, so Frederick I swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Witch Hunter (S02) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; no one hero clearly carries, so the damage is easier to interrupt. 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.

Witch Hunter is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — Terrifying Presence applies Silence on a 90% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Eselfred is the win condition, bringing 72% 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.
