Multiple factions in the same team & The Ultimate Beginner Team
In my previous post, I was talking about single faction beginner teams.

I have had multiple people ask me the following questions:
1 I want to run a Legion of Glory faction team, but my only faction buffer is Grenier and he is my only tank, is he able to do double duty at Lv 35 PvE maps?
2 I pulled so hard on Leon banner but did not get him, how can I have a second great damage dealer in addition to Cherie on a budget team?
3 My Matthew is so useless, why would I ever want to run him? I want to run more powerful dudes instead.

Multiple faction buffs do not stack. That being said, you can run multiple faction buffers in the same team to make sure all of your heroes (well, damage dealers are the most critical I guess) are buffed.
Let me present to you the ultimate beginner team:
Legion of Glory Lv. 35 PvE beginner team feat. Dieharte the Leon replacement with a Protagonist faction buff
| Tank & Glory faction buffer | Protagonist faction buffer | Damage dealer #1 | Damage dealer #2 | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenier (Grand Marshal) [G faction] | Matthew (Hero) [G & P faction] | Cherie (Dragon Master) [G faction] | Dieharte (Royal Knight) [P faction] | Almeda [G & P faction] |
EDIT: Due to popular demand, here's a couple of more beginner team variations.
Variation 1: I GOT LEON!!1 He's my best unit & my bae!!1 How do I run him in a beginner team???
Version 1A, Leon has picked the Strike Master path (no Empire faction buff, gets Imps).
| Tank & Glory faction buffer | Empire faction buffer | Damage dealer #1 | Damage dealer #2 | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenier (Grand Marshal) [G faction] | Lance (Dragon Master) [E faction] | Leon (Strike Master) [E faction] | Cherie (Dragon Master) [G faction] | Almeda [G faction] |
Version 1B, Leon has picked the Royal Knight path (Leon has Empire self-buff)
| Tank & Glory faction buffer | Damage dealer #1 & Empire faction self-buffer | Damage dealer #2 | Healer | Random afterthought 5th guy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenier (Grand Marshal) [G faction] | Leon (Royal Knight) [E faction] | Cherie (Dragon Master) [G faction] | Almeda [G faction] | Whoever is your most useful Glory faction unit. (e.g. Hein, Chris, Narm, Matthew, etc.) |
Variation 2: I got Lana!
Variation 2A, I got Lana and no one else.
| Tank & Glory faction buffer | Damage dealer #1 | Damage dealer #2 | Healer | Random afterthought 5th guy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenier (Grand Marshal) [G faction] | Cherie (Dragon Master) [G faction] | Lana (Dark Princess) [off-faction mage] | Almeda [G faction] | Whoever is your most useful Glory faction unit. (e.g. Hein, Chris, Narm, Matthew, etc.) |
Variation 2B, I got Lana and Bozel they are bffs.
| Tank & Glory faction buffer | Dark reincarnation faction buffer | Damage dealer #1 | Damage dealer #2 | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grenier (Grand Marshal) [G faction] | Bozel (Dark Prince) [DR faction] | Cherie (Dragon Master) [G faction] | Lana (Dark Princess) [DR faction] | Almeda [G faction] |
I am not going to cover all of the other possible mixing & matching of 2 faction combinations. But I am advocating for you to mix & match yourself, so you can run all of your most powerful units in the same team.
Multiple faction buffers in the same team is not "end game optimal", because faction buffers need to spend an ability slot & action to faction buff. That being said, at Lv 35 it can pay off to have great "end game heroes" like Leon or Ledin to actually do some self-buffing.
Here's a list of faction buffers. If you stick 2 of them in the same team, you are on your way to creating a multiple factions team.
| Hero Source | Hero (Class required for Faction buff): Faction name |
|---|---|
| Free | Grenier (Grand Marshal): Legion of Glory |
| Free | Matthew (Hero): Protagonist |
| Free | Lance (Dragon Master): Honor of the Empire |
| Free (limited time available if you started early enough) | Dieharte (High Master): Origins of Light |
| On-banner SSR, Ledin/Liana banner | Ledin (King): Legion of Glory |
| On-banner SSR, Cherie/Elwin banner | Elwin (Hero): Legion of Glory |
| On-banner SSR, Leon/Bernhardt banner | Leon (Royal Knight): Honor of the Empire |
| On-banner SSR, Leon/Bernhardt banner | Bernhardt (Emperor): Honor of the Empire |
| On-banner SSR, Lana/Bozel banner | Bozel (Dark Prince): Dark Reincarnation |
| Off-banner SSR | Luna (Pegasus Master): Princess Alliance |
| Off-banner SSR | Altemuller (Grand Marshall): Strategic Masters |
