Cheap Buri Lineup

This lineup serves for the players who have trouble defending versus strong Heytex lines. This line requires 1-2 Buri shards and the possibility to use the Hero Contract to boost Buri. It will inflict wounded and possibly KIA on the attacking player which will help in beating or deterring the opponent.

Most of the battles in Season 5+ are over in turn 2 due to Heytex in a fast-luk lineup. Many player are running this in Dimensions as well. In turn two, Heytex uses his skill and combined with other finishers such as Galande, will eliminate most of the damage dealers in the other lineups, with turn 3 finishing them off. This means that the defending player usually cannot get any focus skills off at all. Using a cheap Buri lineup will prevent the turn two damage spike and allow for some wounded or KIA on the aggressor. This wears them down for other lineups to deal with them or hopefully deters them from attacking altogether.

Since you can now get a guaranteed Buri in the Prestige Shop, this lineup becomes attainable for all players as a valid defensive option starting in the first Dimension Multipolar World. Although this line uses a low-quality Buri, his survivability is plenty to fulfill his purpose.

## Lineup Recommendation

This line uses the newer Heroes, Buri and Heytex, since they are very strong. All heroes except Buri can be swapped for your best, although it is recommended to use Heytex, AoE heroes and a finisher in the composition since Heytex is very strong in the current state of the game. This composition lets your Heytex shoot more rockets due to the AoE. The recommended lineup includes the following heroes:

## Requirements

### Gear

Buri's gear is the Mental Control set. The gear for Heytex is usually Resolute. One of the other Heroes in this case should hold Super Core (Mira) and the others can choose to go for damaging gear such as Resolute or one Alpha Bless set. Galande and Benson should attack later than Heytex, so they need to have less LUK than the robot.

### Buri

It is assumed that when you first arrive in the dimensions, Buri will be unlocked, but you will not have (m)any copies of him. This is a problem as he needs to be at least Orange quality (two copies) for this strategy to work. To do this, you should get at least one Buri shard. This is done by either purchasing him in the Prestige Shop (2000 Prestige Tokens or 25000 Diamonds) or by getting lucky in one of the new dimension Hero Recruitment options.

If you have one copy, you have to put Buri in a Hero Contract to make him Gold/Legendary quality (max level 80). If you have two copies (Red/Master quality), you could put him in a contract, which levels him to Gold 2 quality, upgrade him to level 95 and then remove the contract, or leave the contract depending on your other Heroes.

The reason for this is because Buri needs to have his third skill leveled at least to level 3 for this to work (Orange/Epic quality). If you slot him in slot #1 he should get 500 focus from Super Core bonus and at least three attacks on him in round 1. (He is going to be the slowest unit due to his low ascending. Mental Control might give more attacks which can come in handy later.) This means he will get at least 510 focus from the normal attacks, which allows him to use his skill in round 1. This grants massive damage reduction and spreads the barrage of an enemy Heytex to all your heroes. If Buri does not have his skill 3 leveled up, this is not guaranteed to happen. Having Buri on a low ascend and level does impact his survivability, but he will live long enough to cast his skill. His skill lasts for two rounds, of which the first one is practically wasted due to all heroes being faster than Buri. On the second round, he will mitigate a lot of damage, which allows your carry (Heytex probably) to deal a ton of damage to the opponent in that round, inflicting wounded and KIA.

Leveling Buri's first skill to 5 is highly recommended or even required, due to the increase in your Lineup's survivability it gives. Together with his third skill at level 3, this means you have to have at least 200 Elite Hero Medals and 1 Buri shard plus a Hero contract to make this lineup work. This is very much attainable in this stage of the game, so it is considered a cheap lineup.

### Car Modifications

Super-Exhaust Engine, Flamethrower weapon, Alloy Bumper or Thorn Barrier, and the Blocking and Interfering System are recommended. Use a regular car, or Plunderer or the Iron Fist, depending if you are defending your own fort and want to try to beat/inflict more KIA on the enemy after weakening him with this line (regular APC) or one of the more expensive cars in other cases.

## Weaknesses

This lineup is not meant to win a fight. It is meant to deter a stronger enemy for little cost. This it does very well. Here are some obvious weaknesses or other elements to this line.

* If the enemy has their Heytex on the backline, he will only use his skill on round 3, which means most of Buri's skill is wasted. Although unlikely, it is possible for Buri to use another skill in round 2. In any case, your Heytex will use his skill in round 2 so that will give enough wounded/KIA to make the enemy notice.
* Buri is at worst only level 80, or he might only have his first 4 skills unlocked and not leveled very high. This decreases his survivability so he might be dead very fast. It is recommended to install Mental Control gear with HP or DMG Mitigation to, mitigate this issue somewhat. Comparing the nearly-maxed Mira versus Buri: Mira has 937k HP and 17% DMG Mitigation while Buri has 796k HP and 14% DMG Mitigation. Without the contract, Buri as level 95 Master/Red quality has 716k HP and also 14% DMG Mitigation.
* It occupies a Hero contract slot if you only have one copy of Buri.
* This lineup is only available in the Dimensions, while Heytex and Super Core lineups are available in Season 5.

## Variations

It is very common to find a Heytex lineup in Arena in later seasons. But it is not needed to make this lineup work. You can also swap out other Heroes to get more general synergy, to get more out of your Policy Cards or the Faction Bonus. If you have many copies of Buri and are able to make him faster than the opponent with your Gear and Car additions, check out the Buri Lineups section.

Here are two variants using the idea of this lineup.

### Using Archer's and Defenders only with Policy Cards

This Lineup uses Minutemen/Wildlings

```

```

or this one which uses mostly cheap Minutemen archers with Heytex

```

```

These lineups use specific Policy Card Builds and focuses on Archers in Technology trees to obtain more damage and defenses for Heytex. Key Policy Cards are Archer Drilling and Defender Drilling. Archer drilling grants more INT if you have more Archer soldiers in the lineup (300 soldiers in this case) for more damage. Defender Drilling grants extra VIT with more Defender Soldiers (200 soldiers) which means extra survivability.

### Non-Heytex Lines

Since you might not have many copies of Heytex either, or want to save him for a different lineup, here are some other lines you can run with Buri. These lineups also use specific Policy Card Builds to focus on Commando's and Defenders. Furthermore, if you have enough survivability, you could switch out the backline defender Hero for a damaging Hero.

This lineup uses Wildlings/Vindicators.

```

```

Or this one, which focuses more on position #2 of the enemy and uses mostly cheap or older Minutemen Heroes

```
