Yukimura Sanada appears in 5 ranked Cavalry combos.

1. 16 FMB War Lord · Yukimura Sanada · Jane Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 74.59/100 out of 100 ⇗
   War Lord (S03), Yukimura Sanada (S00) and Jane (S03) score 74.59 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. 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. Jane is the win condition, bringing 71% of the lineup's expected damage: Light's Judgement puts 334.5% into all enemy squads on a 35% 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 Jane’s Battle of Flags and Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor both wait on; Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Jane swings into a line that cannot answer; Jane shuts off enemy recovery, so what Jane deals stays dealt. What you give up: Jane (S03) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 6% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

2. 26 FMB War Lord · Yukimura Sanada · Mary Tudor Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 75.31/100 out of 100 ⇗
   War Lord (S03), Yukimura Sanada (S00) and Mary Tudor (S00) score 75.31 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

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. Mary Tudor is the win condition, bringing 75% 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 Mary Tudor’s Reign of Sorrow and Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor both wait on; War Lord’s War God Descends produces prep-skips, the exact trigger Mary Tudor waits on; Yukimura Sanada’s Scarlet Armor applies Silence and takes a squad out of the fight, so Mary Tudor swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: Mary Tudor (S00) is the era weak point -- the enemy will aim at the oldest squad; raw damage reaches only about 7% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster. Budget note: every hero in this lineup can be completed without spending.

3. 34 FMB North's Rage · Yukimura Sanada · William Wallace developer pick Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 45.85/100 out of 100 ⇗
   North's Rage (S00), Yukimura Sanada (S00) and William Wallace (S00) score 45.85 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.

   North's Rage is the lock: every squad silenced or suppressed is a turn the enemy plan does not happen — For the North! applies Suppress on a 30% roll, and takes the front because those range-2 skills only connect from there. Yukimura Sanada adds a second source of control, so the lock rarely has an off round: Scarlet Armor applies Silence on a 25% roll, and sits in the middle, the deepest row those range-2 skills still fire from. William Wallace is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: Eye of the Storm puts 667% 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 North's Rage’s For the North! applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so William Wallace swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: no hero here feeds another one's trigger; North's Rage holds the front, but nothing here heals. 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.

4. 35 FMB North's Rage · Yukimura Sanada · Heaven's Justice developer pick Starter Beats 0 of 8 reference lineups 45.27/100 out of 100 ⇗

Heaven's Justice is the flex piece -- modest alone, but covering what the other two leave open: Mortal Coil puts 506% into one enemy squad on a 55% 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 North's Rage’s For the North! applies Suppress and takes a squad out of the fight, so Heaven's Justice swings into a line that cannot answer.
