How does Justinian complement Hannibal in battle?

Justinian provides crucial support by healing troops and reducing the damage taken when secondary strikes are activated. His signature skill synergizes well with secondary strike abilities, which helps to keep Hannibal's team resilient and allows Hannibal to weaken the enemy for longer periods.

What is Cleopatra’s role in the lineup with Hannibal and Justinian?

Cleopatra serves to buff Hannibal’s attributes, especially Might and Strategy, for 6 seconds, and she also contributes to damage dealing. Her synergy with Hannibal's skillset makes her a key support hero, especially when maxed out at Rank 5.
