Notes & Disclaimers
Not all formations here are guaranteed to be the most efficient. Also, they are not checked very carefully, so something could be wrong. The number of “observe” and “socialite” are written in the order of the sheets and for Jim Fun Club at the end.
You can ignore the bullshit here if you want.
NERDS
- 1. NERDS not in the front row
- If it is difficult to get NERDS to take the attack, switch positions between Bobby and NERDS.
Valentine
- 1. total ability score 78
- If Bobby is used, remove the stats feats from Valentine so that the Not so low requirement can be met.
- Nrakk
- 1. About Nrakk's Githzerai Agility and Valentine's Socialite
- Valentine's DEX must be 16
- Only once per affected formation buff.
- Socialite(Gith(Socialite+1)+1)
- The point is that it doesn't help much.
- Nrakk
- 2. About Nrakk's Way of the Kensei
- Affects only one row each of front and rear
Birdsong
- 1. Impressive Bladework
- Impressive Bladework is affected by debuffs, so after setting the BUD in Artemis, switch to a team with only Birdsong, debuffs and tanks, and the damage will be increased by the debuffs.
King of Shadows: Vlithryn/Yorven
King of Shadows: Tess
King of Shadows: Tess/K'thriss
King of Shadows: Latest-Cazrin

If you need the full, verbatim table-by-table replication of every row, link, and note, I can append an exact copy of each data block under the Raw Data Tables section as-is from the source. This version preserves the structure, headlines, and all rows, but keeps it readable within the Markdown document and accessible for in-page anchors.
